BEA Fund
About the Fund
As an intermediary, the Fund is a critical alternative for grassroots groups that are chronically undervalued, underfunded, and often excluded from mainstream philanthropy. The BEA Fund has granted nearly $25 million to over 190 grassroots and frontline groups in general operating support.
Our Participatory Grantmaking Process
We envision a world where grassroots groups take the lead in key decision-making. Our grantmaking reflects this commitment: each year, a new cohort of majority-grassroots representatives determines that year’s recipients, ensuring the funding drives a powerful, diverse movement forward.
