Resist is a foundation that supports people's movements for justice and liberation. We redistribute resources back to frontline communities at the forefront of change while amplifying their stories of building a better world.
"Resist gives funders the opportunity to reach organizations doing front-line work for social justice. No matter how large or small your donation, you know your money will be used carefully and stretched to the last penny." - Jean Hardisty (Resist Donor)
For over 57 years, Resist has provided critical funds to new and established grassroots movements that are building toward our collective freedom by any means. We amplify their stories of liberation and challenge philanthropy to join us in transforming their ways of giving.
At Resist, we operate differently from traditional philanthropy, both structurally and interpersonally. While only 7% of philanthropic dollars go to frontline-led organizations, that number is 100% at Resist. We exist to provide no-strings-attached funding to frontline grassroots community organizations, spreading their stories and strategies for justice and alternative world-building.
Resist has met all 20 of the Better Business Bureau's charity accountability standards and received its seal of approval. When you donate to Resist, you can trust that your donations are going directly to frontline groups resisting oppressive systems, re-imagining new possibilities, and building resilience so that we can all move towards freedom.
