Field-Building Grants

We award Field Building grants to build movement infrastructure and strengthen the larger ecosystem in which our grantee partners operate. Successful systems change requires field-wide infrastructure that is consistently resourced.

TWU first organized in the mid-1980s in response to the scheduled mass evictions of thousands of low-income renters in the Arlandria neighborhood of Alexandria.

Activities supported by Field-Building grants include skills training and coaching for effective organizing and base building, advocacy, coalition building and strengthening, convenings to strengthen networks and relationships across organizations, peer-to-peer learning, and enhancing fiscal sponsorship.

Applications for Field-Building grants are by invitation only. If you have an idea for a Field Building grant, please contact Karen FitzGerald.
