What We Fund

OUR MISSION: We support organizations, scholars, leaders, and initiatives focused on shifting the balance of power toward communities, families, and individuals who continue to be excluded from shaping society and from sharing in its rewards and freedoms.

Multiple approaches to increasing community power and transforming government so that it works for everyday people are necessary, but locally based community organizing is a traditionally underutilized and undersupported strategy. That’s where MCF comes in.

MCF offers unrestricted general operating support to community organizing efforts, providing flexibility for leaders to test, validate, and scale real-life examples of what a government powered by the people and, in turn, a just economy looks like.
