The Carmack Collective 2023 Flow Fund has moved $235,000 to Climate Justice movements working across our priority tactics of movement building, culture change, and philanthropic agitation. This round of grants closes out The Carmack Collective’s first year of grantmaking, with a total of $750,000 redistributed to frontline movement partners.
Our Flow Fund is a decentralized project within The Carmack Collective. The Flow Fund grantmaking is directed by our Advisory Board, comprised of movement leaders, who work collectively, with autonomy over their consensus based process, to distribute one year operating and/or project grants. The Flow Fund is an opportunity for The Carmack Collective to embrace our belief that those on the frontlines of movements have the most innovative and effective solutions, experiment with values aligned operating models, and explore new or emergent funding opportunities.
