SOLIDARITY ECONOMY INITIATIVE

OVERVIEW

As climate change worsens and income inequality grows, a solidarity economy is needed for the long term sustainability of all people and the planet. The Solidarity Economy Initiative (SEI) was founded in 2015 by Access Strategies Fund, Boston Impact Initiative, Center for Economic Democracy, and The Solidago Foundation to provide funding and technical assistance to grassroots, frontline organizations leading the movement towards a Solidarity Economy. Through SEI’s pooled “Solidarity Fund,” 11 grassroots organizations have received annual grants between $5,000 - $20,000, with more than $650,000 in grants disbursed to date.
