Details:
Haymarket People’s Fund is an anti-racist and multi-cultural foundation committed to strengthening the movement for social justice in New England. Through grant-making, fundraising, and capacity building, they support grassroots organizations that address the root causes of injustice. Haymarket also organizes to increase sustainable community philanthropy throughout the region.
Sustaining Grants are for up to $15,000 for grassroots, social change organizations that meet their funding criteria. Grant sizes are determined after a careful evaluation of each proposal taking into account Haymarket’s criteria and commitment to strengthening anti-racist movement building in New England.
They fund both start-up groups (emerging) and groups that are more established (movement building).
These categories help us compare and evaluate groups at similar stages of development. They ask that you choose the type that best fits your group.
- Emerging Groups: Grassroots groups that are start-ups or are in the earlier stages of development. Organizations at this stage often focus on self-definition, understanding the root causes of the problems they are facing, leadership development, and capacity building. Emerging groups are typically less than five years old; however, groups coming out of a dormant phase or going through a period of transformation or rebirth may also fall into this category.
- Movement Building Groups: More developed organizations with a well-established identity and position within their community, a clear track record, and actively working to strengthen the social justice movement. Effective organizations at this stage have a clear vision and mission, a solid understanding of the root causes of the problems they face, strong constituency leadership, well developed organizing strategies, and a demonstrated commitment to anti-racist movement building.
