Mission

The majority of FSC's funds are designated to low-wealth and other minority groups working for progressive social change. These groups are often non-staffed, or minimally staffed, volunteer community associations with minimal budgets. FSC's grants assist these groups in covering organizing expenses such as postage, printing, travel, training, and consulting costs for legal and technical assistance. FSC helps groups move beyond their start-up by providing opportunities for networking and long-term involvement with state-wide and regional organizations that assist communities in broadening their understanding of their situation in the context of the cultural, political, economic and historical realities of the South.

About

The Fund for Southern Communities (FSC or The Fund) provides the financial resource to help move groups from thought to action. FSC supports small community groups working for environmental justice, anti-racism, women's rights, youth development, LGBTQ rights, worker's rights, civil rights and disability rights and other varied issues that address social change through community organizing. Grantees not only benefit from financial support, but they are also given technical assistance.FSC is unusual in that it awards grants to community organizations that are working to address the systems and structures that cause community problems. Often traditional charities and private foundations overlook these organizations because their projects are considered too new, the organization too small, or their objectives are too controversial. The Fund is willing to make grants to these groups and organizations because we believe that communities working on their own behalf are powerful forces for change.
