Join a Funder Delegation
to the first ever
U.S. Social Forum

Building Progressive Alliances Nationwide and Globally

Inspired by the World Social Forum and galvanized by the issues made prominent by Hurricane Katrina, the first ever US Social Forum will be held in Atlanta at the end of June.

Funders concerned with issues as diverse as human rights, equity, the environment, poverty, community development, economic justice, immigration and social movement organizing are invited to participate in our delegation to this important gathering, that will bring funders and non-profits together for dialogue across issue areas.

By joining our delegation, funders can experience first hand the vibrancy of these ideas and movements, explore linkages to allied expressions around the world, and engage in discussions with funders sharing similar strategic interests and program concerns. 

In addition to lodging, transportation and logistical support, funders will receive pre-trip background materials, participate in orientation briefings in Atlanta, and meet briefly each day to exchange insights and experiences with other funders sharing similar interests and funding priorities. 

By participating in the forum’s dozens of workshops, debates, cultural events and celebrations, we will better understand the hundreds of local, regional and national social movements that are increasingly becoming a factor in today’s globalized world.
