Grassroots Exchange Fund Accepting Applications for 2006
Grassroots Exchange Fund Accepting Applications for 2006
The Common Counsel Foundation’s Grassroots Exchange Fund (formerly the Grantee Exchange Fund)
provides discretionary small grants to build bridges between
grassroots organizations throughout the United States.
The fund was established to encourage social change
organizations to seek technical assistance from one another,
and to help build regional and national networks among
organizations. GXF prioritizes grants to small community-based groups seeking to meet face-to-face with other grassroots organizations, to build collaborative campaigns,
and to benefit from technical assistance opportunities.
GXF awards grants averaging $300-$800 to approximately
sixty organizations per year to cover training, travel,
or conference expenses. The fund typically makes grants
to grassroots community-based organizations working on
economic, environmental, and social-justice initiatives
that give voice to the needs of low-income people, women,
youth, and people of color.
Current criteria for GXF grants include the urgency of the
action, strategy session, or conference to the overall work
of the applicant organization; the extent to which a small
grant from GXF would make a significant impact; the extent
to which the applicant meets core Common Counsel criteria —
membership-led groups organizing for social, economic, or
environmental change.
