Our Philosophy
Fund us like you want us to win.
At re:power, we are training and supporting BIPOC candidates, campaigners, organizers, technologists, and data directors who are building the future of our country. An investment in re:power is an investment in our collective future.
For too long, philanthropy has contributed to systemic inequities—it has perpetuated racism, patriarchy, and other forms of oppression. At re:power, we work with our donors to better understand these dynamics so that our fundraising is grounded in race, equity, and social justice. We use a fundraising model in which we center our people and communities and we treat our donors as partners in this work.

Our Impact
BIPOC-led movement building is our path to liberation.
For decades, the hard work of organizers has been invisible to our society as a whole. This is especially true for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color-led organizing, work that is most often at the core of how we have achieved progress at all. People like Bayard Rustin, Grace Lee Boggs, Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and many more, showed us that the only path toward liberation is one led by people of color.
Much like these important figures, the people we center and empower with our trainings and partnerships are the folks behind the scenes doing the hard ongoing work of building power within their communities. They are local elected officials, sometimes the first of their kind in their city; Data Directors of statewide organizing formations in key states like Florida and North Carolina; the campaign manager of a major congressional campaign; or the digital organizer who is leading the narrative-change campaign about immigrant rights.
Invest in re:power
“There are many roles people play in building a movement. My contribution is money. I don’t give out of pity or charity, I give to re:power because I know they are building power in communities across the country and I believe in supporting those communities to do what they know is best for them.”
