For the first time in generations, progressive activists and organizations are developing and implementing innovative strategies and campaigns that offer the prospect of fairness, justice, and meaningful change to every member of our society.

Over the past ten years, FACT funding has helped to develop and strengthen some of the most dynamic, community-based organizations and intermediaries in the U.S. and France, and we look forward to continuing to support these and other groups.

FACT 2007 Grantees

FACT’s 2007 Grantees include 38 organizations we have funded for as many as 12 years, and others that we have only funded for a year or two. The annual amounts similarly range from $20,000 to $150,000. Most, however, received approximately $50,000 in direct support, as well as opportunities for additional capacity building grants. You can download a description of all FACT 2007 grantees and a history of FACT grantees from 1995 – 2007 from the download box at the left.

Two Profiles of FACT Grantees in Action

Two examples of long-term FACT support that exemplify our mission and funding criteria are Southern Echo, which provides training and technical and legal assistance to communities of color in Mississippi and 11 states across the southern U.S., and the multiple organizations working on campaigns to provide “living wages” to low-wage workers that allow them to have a decent standard of living.
