Apply for the THRIVE Fund
Movement for Family Power’s mutual aid and capacity fund for the movement to end family policing.
About
For folks in our movement ecosystem, lack of funding and resources is a key barrier to their ability to thrive in their organizing and advocacy for families. For impacted leaders, these barriers only increase their own vulnerability to criminalization and family separation. The THRIVE fund seeks to fill a critical movement gap: a source for more rapid support to help meet our individual and collective needs.
What We Support
The THRIVE Fund offers mutual aid and capacity support, and there is no one-size-fits-all definition of what that means. Whether you are organizing an event, learning a new skill, dreaming up a fresh idea, starting on a healing journey, launching a campaign, attending a conference, or trying to make ends meet, the THRIVE Fund is here to offer financial support and connect you with other resources.
Eligibility
We prioritize requests from folks who are:
Directly impacted by family separation (family policing, incarceration, etc.)
Grassroots activists or movement leaders with limited organizational resources
Connected to an organization, coalition, or collective that is fighting for families
Requesting support related to or aligned with MFP's mission and values
Types of Funding
Direct payments (direct deposit or check, can take 2-3 weeks to process after approval, see forms below)
Direct purchases (payments made directly to a business, organization, etc.)
Gift cards (electronic Visa gift cards or store-specific gift cards)
How it Works
Fill out our request form below. Be as specific as possible. Include links and upload documents, if necessary.
Our team will reach out in 1-2 weeks with next steps. If your request is urgent, let us know in the form. Please do not submit more than once for the same request.
Although we approach this work with an abundance mindset, our resources and capacity are limited. If your request is beyond our reach, we will connect you with other partners and resources, wherever possible. We appreciate your understanding, patience, and grace.
The information we are requesting will help us to identify relevant resources. Personal information will not be shared outside of MFP.
