Southern Power Fund

About

The 21st century South has survived the rise of the white right and the regressive policies that came with it, the intensifying in strength and frequency of man-made climate disasters, and the impact of a disinvestment in healthcare infrastructure during the age of COVID-19. We know that Black, immigrant, and rural communities in the South are experiencing a disproportionate impact during these times. Meanwhile, Black Southern leaders are now coordinating a historic uprising against police brutality and in defense of Black lives, and in the process are building a new South worthy of our people.

About the Host

The Southern Power Fund is committed to redistribute $100 million over the next five years (at least $10-15 million annually) to a wide range of frontline organizations and formations. The three strategic streams of funding include seasonal rounds of redistribution to intervene on unsustainable cycles of emergency funding; to fortify existing movement formations; and to grow land investment projects that create autonomous funding streams for movement.
