Our Work & Impact
The LIFT Fund connects labor unions and philanthropy to coordinate resources, strategies and funding that support worker organizing and power building. We provide wraparound support, multi-year funding and a low-barrier approach for grantees.
We center Black and Brown workers because they are leading powerful, innovative movement building that will raise standards for everyone and transform our economy and democracy.
The LIFT Fund has invested more than $20 million in operating support grants to nonprofits, worker centers and other worker organizations across the country, mostly in the South. By 2034, we will invest more than $50 million into worker movement building.
We invest in people and organizations on the frontlines of building worker power because their collective action can create a world where we all thrive together.
