More details

gs is a commitment to resourcing our work in ways that align with our values, vision, and strategy. This includes deepening class consciousness and integrating a practice of resourcing/fundraising across our leadership.

To get there, gs students, teachers, practitioners, partners, donors, funders, and friends are invited to practice embodied donor organizing. Embodied donor organizing is an opportunity to build power by resourcing work we care about. As we ask for donations, we aim to build more trust, authenticity, and mutual dignity with people we care about. We do this by revealing ourselves, what we care about, and our commitment to gs and social and environmental justice movements. We practice making requests, in the face of potentially receiving a ‘no.’ We practice doing this work within the many contradictions of capitalism and white supremacy. We practice toward having a sustainable community network, in which we resource our own communities and organizations, encourage equitable redistribution of wealth, and build cross-class community power.

Concretely, contributions from individuals have supported gs to grow sustainably, offer programs that are accessible to communities on the frontlines of our movements, and make a transformative and precise contribution.
