Mission: Thousand Currents believes the answers to the most entrenched societal challenges around the world rest in the hands of directly affected frontline communities. We raise money to fund those communities, which are organized as grassroots groups and social movements, working in the areas of food, economic, and climate justice. Currently, we support over 130 women and girls-, youth-,and Indigenous-led groups, alliances, and movements across Africa, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America with core, flexible, long-term grants and value-added services.Thousand Currents is a bridge-builder that connects donors in the Global North with leaders and solutions in the Global South through relationships of solidarity, trust, and respect - not charity. For more than 37 years, we have supported over 1,000 grassroots-led community initiatives in more than 140 countries, connected to over 200 million people worldwide in integrated resources. (Less)
