DONOR ORGANIZING 101: Fight the fascists, capitalists, and our own money “ick” in fundraising
Now that the big bullsh*t bill has passed into law, many of us in movement are eager to skill up in grassroots fundraising. Join 18MR for our first-ever Donor Organizing 101 workshop on Wednesday, July 30!
In this unjust economy, we move resources with purpose and strategy. From funding cuts across the movement to the rising costs of living and threats to public resources, it’s time to fight the fascists, capitalists, and our own money “ick” in fundraising.
We’re following a long tradition of working class communities of color, mobilizing resources for our people. Learn more about the history of grassroots fundraising and the basic tools to get started in donor organizing.
By the end of our 90-minute workshop, attendees will be able to*:
Understand the role of resource mobilization in the social justice movement
Learn about three types of donor organizing approaches: mutual aid, cultural fundraising, and direct peer to peer fundraising
Move through the personal money “ick” associated with fundraising
Identify foundational skills involved in donor organizing
As donor organizers, we are in the system, but not of it. Together, we can build community power and fund our movements from the ground up.
This training is open to 18MR chapter members and those who have recently attended 18MR political education workshops and events.
