North Star Fund supports Black-led organizations building collective power through grassroots organizing in New York City and the Hudson Valley. It aims to transform lives and undo systemic racism by addressing specific laws and institutional policies that create inequities. The fund was created to respond to a lack of investment in Black communities and seeks to mobilize resources for sustainable support.
The Rapid Response Grants by North Star Fund are designed to support organizations in achieving immediate, specific outcomes or impacts within a three to six-month window, generally as components of a broader strategy for systemic change. These grants are particularly relevant in situations where elected leaders and institutions fail to protect communities of color and vulnerable populations, assisting recipient organizations in pressuring for positive actions.
