Details:
The Racial Equity to Accelerate Change (REACH) Fund has always understood that the force for advancing racial equity lies within the communities: with skilled social change practitioners who can dream beyond the limits of existing models and help us envision, nurture, and build the new. REACH is a home for movement weavers who connect wisdom and action between freedom movements. The Fund partners with capacity builders, organizational strategists, field builders, and other racial equity practitioners who understand that the work is stronger when they build together across issue areas, geographies, communities, and generations.
2025 RFP: Accelerating Change Through Practitioner Organizing
- For this year’s RFP, the REACH Fund will continue the approach to accelerating change, with a focused eye toward supporting not just practitioners, but practitioner-led organizing.
- In order to build power, take collective action, and nurture communities of care and solidarity, they must resource architects of new ways of being and working together: strategists, field builders, network weavers, healers, communicators, litigators, somatic practitioners, and more. This is how they co-create liberatory futures and more rapidly dismantle harmful systems of white supremacy, anti-Blackness, ableism, transphobia, and other forms of domination and oppression.
