Building the World We Deserve

Groundswell is sharpening its focus. We are investing deeply in a smaller cohort of partners and prioritizing states and regions where bodily autonomy and democracy are most under threat. By concentrating resources where they matter most, we are helping movements build the durable power needed to create the world we deserve.

Fortify. Resist. Build New Worlds.

We practice solidarity with U.S. bodily autonomy movements by redistributing wealth to their efforts for a multi-racial feminist democracy.

National Intermediary

Groundswell is a national intermediary funder that moves resources to 501(c)(3) organizations working to defend rights, expand democratic participation, and lead care-based, grassroots organizing and movement building at the intersections of bodily autonomy and democracy.

Solidarity with Movements

Groundswell funds and supports local and state organizations working at the intersection of bodily autonomy and democracy. We support long-term organizing and community-led efforts that allow people to care for one another, exercise self-determination, and build power that lasts beyond moments of crisis.

Strengthening Movement Infrastructure

We strengthen movements by investing in leadership, operations, and organizational capacity. We also support partners in testing and scaling new approaches that shift power to communities.

Connecting Movements and Donors

Groundswell brings movement partners and donors together through intentional community-of-practices, convenings, and donor cohorts. These spaces deepen relationships, support shared learning, and align strategy so resources, trust, and action move together in service of long-term change.
