Rockefeller Foundation: Supporting Worker Organizing

8/31/2022

 
​The Rockefeller Foundation’s US Equity and Economic Opportunity team is beginning to fund worker organizing in four states. They have contracted Movement Matters to strengthen their understanding of how to support the work and to provide protocols and practices to best enter the field.
 
As in our work with other funders, we grounded our process in a detailed understanding of organizing as a distinct change strategy, clarifying how it relates to and is different from other modes like service provision and policy advocacy. We have examined best practices to recognize and address funder-grantee power dynamics, especially when it comes to supporting grassroots efforts. We have also provided models for funder support of short and long term change strategies, and identified ways to shift philanthropic culture to be more responsive to the needs of organizations on the ground.
 
We are excited to continue this partnership as the Rockefeller team begins to make grants and support the work. 

​Connect with us for more information on our Funder Training and Technical Assistance work.

Movement Matters is based in Washington, DC.
We work regionally with various communities and with national partners.
