Mission:
What began with the "call to resist illegitimate authority" in opposition the war in Vietnam now includes funding social change activism. At our core RESIST remains more than just a foundation; RESIST is a part of a movement for social change.

RESIST prioritizes funding for small grassroots groups who, because of the radical nature of their work or because they are a newer organization, are unlikely to find "mainstream" funding. With six funding cycles each year, RESIST offers one of the most frequent grant making programs of all foundations.

In addition to the grants program, RESIST publishes a well-respected Newsletter which features articles on subjects important to progressive activists.

The Grants and Newsletter Programs are supported by individual contributors committed to funding social change.

Results:
RESIST's Board just met last Sunday (October 14, 20120) and awarded 25 general support grants, 3 multi-year grants and 2 Technical Assistance grant for a total of $61,200. The Board meets six times a year to allocate funds.

Since 1967, RESIST has given out $5,715,935 to 5,281 grassroots activist organization across the country. To learn more about the groups we have supported please visit: http://www.resistinc.org/grantees/grantees-news.
