Mission Statement
The Grassroots Institute for Fundraising Training (GIFT) is a multiracial organization that promotes the connection between fundraising, social justice and movement-building. We believe that how groups are funded is as important to achieving their goals as how the money is spent, and that building community support is central to long-term social change. We provide training, resources and analysis to strengthen organizations, with an emphasis on those focused on social justice and based in communities of color.
We believe:
- Social justice organizations are more effective when they have a broad base of individual donors
- The leadership of people of color in fundraising is important for building a strong social justice movement
- Fundraising, program, and organizing need to be integrated so that all staff, board, and volunteers are aware of and involved in all aspects of the work
GIFT is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
