Gray Matter Experience
We are requesting $15,000 in general operating support to help us cover our staff costs. While we had a successful fundraising year, none of those funds are multi-year, and a substantial amount of them were a result of the BLM protests and increased awareness of supporting Black organizations. With the ongoing pandemic, and limited funds available for Black-founded/led organizations, we are mindful that we may not be able to raise the same level of funds this year and beyond. Additionally, the demand for our programming increased tremendously, which resulted in our need to hire a program team. Your support will ensure that we provide our staff with market rate livable wages that values their labor, and their job security with us.

BLACKROOTS ALLIANCE
We’re a Black-led, Black-serving organization, grounded in a love for the Black community, and a goal of seeing our people achieve their fullest potential. Through activism, we’re working to "be the change" and exist in the world we want to see; leaning into relational organizing so that we can impact the spread of change where we feel it the most -in our homes, jobs and familiar relationships. To reach this Afrofuturist reality, we need more people to understand how current public policies impact their lives and increase civic engagement. To do this, we will hold open forums for people to share their vision for the future, canvass communities to find out their policy perspectives, and support our partners towards achieving their missions.
