Pop-Up Offices

Pop-up Offices

Grassroots Fund staff has been out in communities more as we aim to strengthen existing relationships and create new ones.  Rather than expecting everybody to come to us, we want to lower barriers by showing up where you are organizing and convening.  

Here are some reasons why we think Pop-up Offices will be a great resource for both community organizers and our staff.

Community groups will have direct access to GF staff.

  • You’ll be able to fill out or start a grant application with staff support!

  • Not ready to fill out an application? Learn about our grants programs, trainings, events and other resources we offer.

  • Workshop your project idea, and get and give feedback.

  • See a gap in support for grassroots groups in your area? Help us learn about your community and what more we can be doing to support the work.

  • Face-to-face time is great for groups we’re not already connected with, and those that we are. Let’s take our conversations out of the inbox for a moment!

Community groups will be able to connect and collaborate with other local groups.

  • New and established community groups will have a time and space to connect, share stories, and learn from & with each other.

What can you expect when you attend a Pop-up Office?

  • Like office hours, a Grassroots Fund staff member will be available for one-on-one support and discussion of your work.

  • By filling out the brief form linked below, you will be able to schedule a time to meet one-on-one, and indicate what you are looking to get out of the time. This will help both staff and you get the most out of the time.

  • You are welcome to come to the Pop-up Office before and after your time slot, to engage with other groups or continue working on your own.

  • You’ll come away with a better understanding of the different resources the Grassroots Fund offers and ways for you to participate
