Welcome to Borealis Philanthropy

Empowering grantees through community to build a whole, new world together

Building Towards A Whole, New World 

At Borealis Philanthropy, we envision a whole, new world; one in which we share responsibility for one another; in which our political, social, civil, and economic systems and institutions are representative of, and responsive to, communities; in which we all have access to opportunity, autonomy, and joy. As a Borealis grantee partner, we see you as leaders at the forefront of this pursuit—and we know that the work of justice only grows stronger when we come together. That’s what this space is for.

What You’ll Gain

By joining the virtual Borealis grantee community, you’ll have easeful access to timely, relevant, and values-aligned resources; movement-led capacity building offerings; and continued opportunities for peer learning and exchange. Most importantly, you’ll plug into a network of hundreds of organizers across the country, each of whom is working at the intersections of movements to ensure greater autonomy, opportunity, and joy for our communities.  

Join Us, Today

Let us regenerate together, dream and vision together, learn together, and hold each other with care as we move through our increasingly essential work. Here’s just some of what that might look like in this virtual gathering space. When you join the Borealis Philanthropy grantee community, you’ll get access to our:

  • Access toolkits and webinars to a) protect and defend your organization from digital security threats and breaches in an increasingly turbulent climate, b) develop restorative and decolonized approaches to your communications strategy, and c) learn strategies for individual and organizational processing of major change.

  • Travel through our Finance and Fundraising Institute to learn more about revenue diversification, finding mission-aligned donors, navigating the philanthropic boom and bust cycle, and more!

  • Pose questions, share insights, and engage in peer learning with organizers across the country to strengthen and diversify approaches to our collective work.
