"There have been only three times in this country's history when the status quo has been successfully challenged: the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement, and now Katrina." -Derrick Evans, Turkey Creek Community Initiatives
Gulf South Allied Funders (GSAF) is an alliance of progressive donors formed in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and the ensuing abandonment of Gulf Coast residents by the federal, state and local governments and non-profits. The alliance includes Resource Generation, Women Donors Network, Threshold Foundation, Tides Foundation and an ever growing circle of individual donors. GSAF members give and raise money to be granted by the Twenty-First Century Foundation, a national Black foundation funding equitable rebuilding and addressing the local and national implications of the ongoing catastrophes in the Gulf Coast.
To date, 212 grants totaling $3,204,865 have been distributed to organizations committed to rebuilding the Gulf Coast.
We invite you to join us in this extraordinary work. Our donors have made pledges from $2 to $200,000. The majority are three year commitments.
