Our Commitment
As the visual above states, Amplify Fund envisions a reality where historically marginalized people maintain and build decision-making power toward generational wealth, land justice, holistic well-being, and human dignity. We operate with the belief that the path towards this vision is two-fold:
GOAL 1: Amplify Fund must nurture and strengthen the conditions necessary to build power. These conditions include 1) racial justice organizing capacity, 2) multi-racial, locally rooted leaders, 3) relationships and shared analyses, 4) strategic communications and narrative work, 5) strong organizational structures, 6) risk-taking, and 7) a set of alternative agendas, policies, and practices. As a pooled fund, we support these conditions through general operating grants, capacity building and technical assistance, and spaces for collaboration.
GOAL 2: Amplify Fund must also organize funders so they shift where, to whom, and how philanthropy provides support. We do this through spaces for collaboration, promoting a “culture of racial justice,” and our communications work more broadly.
