About the Resilient Solidarity Fund
Blue Future’s network of youth organizers believe we’re not free until we’re all free. That means actively dismantling the systems that hoard power, money, and safety for some while denying them to others.
As an organization with access to donor networks, electoral infrastructure, and fundraising capacity that many frontline organizations lack, Blue Future has a responsibility not just to organize, but to redistribute.
The Resilient Solidarity Fund is our answer: a strategic, anti-racist act of resource justice — designed to move $10,000 per month in general support grants to trans-led, Black-led, Indigenous/Native-led, and immigrant-led organizations who are leading in this political moment.
This program works to reshape the flow of philanthropic resources so that they strengthen relationships, capacity, and imagination rather than extraction, scarcity, and burnout.
While Blue Future’s primary focus is on elections and voting, a critical but often privileged space, these organizers + organizations are on the frontlines:
- Defending trans youth from state violence
- Protecting Black communities from police violence
- Safeguarding Indigenous land, water and wisdom
- Resisting the criminalization of immigrants
This work is not adjacent to ours, it is the foundation of our collective freedom. And we invite other electorally focused organizations to join us.
We all know that voting is not the only form of power building. It’s time that we, as electorally focused organizations, equitably redistribute a meaningful percentage of our annual budgets to community based organizations and organizers whose work makes electoral victories possible.
Our hope and invitation is that other electorally focused organizations will join us in this effort.

DETAILS
We’re moving $10,000 each month, with trust and care at the center.
This fund is focused on reparative solidarity. A recognition that our access to funding is not neutral, and that equity means moving resources to those who have been systematically denied them.
We’re not waiting for permission to act. We’re not asking for lengthy funding proposals. We’re not leaving applications “on read” for months on end.
In partnership with Piece by Piece Fund, we’re putting our money where our mouth is and trusting frontline leaders to define their own priorities, set their own pace, and direct resources where they’re needed most.
Participatory Process
We’re distributing funds through participatory grantmaking models where community ownership, rapid response, and transparency are non-negotiables. Grantees and fellow youth organizers will co-design the process, nominate others and lead alongside us.
By piloting this model, we’re not just funding resistance, we’re modeling wholeness in how we build power. We’re demonstrating to our network of diverse youth organizers how to:
- Mobilize resources with trust and efficiency
- Build movements rooted in resilience
- Center community power and solidarity
Because true liberation requires that we all have the resources to lead, not just the ones who’ve been granted access to power.
The Resilient Solidarity Fund is how Blue Future puts our anti-racist values into practice—redistributing power to the frontline organizers who are literally keeping their communities alive—because we’re not free until we’re all free.
