Grassroots Organizing for Social Change Program

The Ben & Jerry’s Foundation is seeking applications for Grassroots Organizing for Social Change Program to offer general or project support to non-profit organizations throughout the United States.

Lasting change occurs when Social Justice Movements are built from the ground up and grassroots groups come together across sectors and constituencies to work for the common principles of Human Rights and Justice for All. The program supports organizations that share and embody this theory of change.

While broad goals are to further social and environmental justice and support sustainable and just food systems, the foundation focuses on the types of activities and strategies an organization uses for creating social change rather than on the specific issues the organization is addressing.

Priorities
Community & ally outreach
Leadership development
Constituent empowerment & decision-making
Popular education
Root cause analysis
Power analysis
Campaign development
Mobilizing constituents & allies
