Involúcrese
For over 40 years, we’ve been bringing together New Yorkers who want to provide resources to grassroots communities in New York. We have more opportunities than ever for you to connect with other donors and combine our gifts so that we can support strong grassroots organizing. This part of our work is called donor organizing.
Donor organizing is...
the long term work of bringing people into movements through fundraising and resource mobilization. There are many ways to get involved as a donor organizer—here are a few!
Create a Giving Plan
Sometimes the best place to start is with your own giving. A giving plan can help you use your resources intentionally to support the work you care about. Anyone can have a giving plan, whether you’re giving a little or a lot. Here’s an intro to Giving Plans.
Become a Sustainer
Social change is long-term work so it takes sustained support. By making a sustaining gift over time, you can often give more than you realized was possible. Make a one-time or monthly sustainer gift today!
Give in Community
Like so many things, giving is more powerful and sustainable when we do it in community. North Star Fund and our community of donor organizers can help. Learn more about Giving Circles from our summer 2020 workshop, “Giving Circles, Explained.”
Join Our Giving Project
Our Giving Projects bring together New Yorkers from a wide range of backgrounds to develop a common analysis, build relationships, and pool money to support organizing groups in NYC and the Hudson Valley. Learn more about our Giving Project and how to apply.
