The Fall 2017 Giving Project members raised money from their friends and family to make $130,000 in grants to 13 groups advancing Black-led, Black-centered organizing in our region.
Like all Giving Projects at Bread & Roses, the Fall 2017 Giving Project brought together a cross-class, cross-race, intergenerational group of people who shared a vision for social justice and wanted to apply their time, talent, and resources to supporting movements for social change.
