The Story of Stuff Project aims to support small organizations and groups in their efforts against water privatization and plastic pollution in the United States, emphasizing equity, inclusion, and the empowerment of communities disproportionately affected by environmental issues. It focuses on providing financial resources, media support, and strategic planning to build effective campaigns.
The Grassroots Grants program by the Story of Stuff Project is designed to assist underfunded organizations and communities tackling environmental and social justice challenges. Specifically targeting issues related to water privatization and plastic pollution, the program has allocated $300,000 in grants to nearly 100 grassroots groups since its inception in 2017. Aiming for a $100,000 goal in 2023, the program supports projects that involve local community participation, employ creative and strategic interventions, and pursue both defensive and solutions-focused approaches. Priority is given to funding projects led by people of color, those from low-income or rural backgrounds, and women-led organizations.
