What is the Good Faith Alliance?
The Good Faith Alliance is a strategic community of progressive organizations with shared values, focused on critical issues at the intersection of faith and culture.
Good Faith Alliance organizations collaborate to seek funding for communication-based projects that amplify inclusion, freedom, and justice for all.
Why is the Good Faith Alliance Needed?
-
The progressive faith movement is filled with remarkable organizations engaged in transformative justice work around the world.
-
Progressive organizations are busy following their missions. Due to heavy workloads, they need fresh media content to communicate their work to the public.
-
Funding for progressive causes has declined over the past several decades as individuals and foundations have become more selective and targeted in their giving. As funding has declined, a need for grant-based funding strategies has emerged.
-
Progressive faith organizations need a strategy for collaborating on targeted projects that benefit the larger movement.
-
The Religious Right has dominated the public square with content advocating for issues that matter to them.
-
The Religious Right developed and implemented a funding strategy to support organizations that support their cause (the Council for National Policy).
-
-
Progressive organizations have a message that resonates with people of faith and the larger community committed to inclusion, equality, freedom, and justice.
