DSSF is also building and sustaining Southern movement infrastructure. We came to be DSSF through Kiese Laymon. His truth about what black children deserve: “good love, healthy choices, and second chances“ has become our theory of change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645d433f472e12852c3211/94b571bc-5e7b-4298-99c3-6215625927d8/IMG_6056+%282%29.jpg Home - Give and get in touch.

Long term support brings in assurance and time to do sustainable work from places of economic and job security. With multi year support, our partners are able to securely invest in dreaming and building their communities. Having seen how this has impacted our partners, we advocate strongly for multi-year resource commitments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645d433f472e12852c3211/f2dc12b7-5d1e-4f45-be3d-bdf2aba74dc1/Direct+Giving+c%2Fo+SONG How we work - Direct giving Black, Brown, and Indigenous organizers, activists, cultural workers and movement builders are chronically underpaid. Their work, care, and love is often undervalued and unsupported. As a result, they remain in cycles of poverty and economic insecurities. Therefore, DSSF makes direct payments to them, and does not restrict how the person uses the funds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645d433f472e12852c3211/c0b038c7-8bc0-4369-a366-1e63a83c1b25/Image+courtesy+of+the+Lighthouse How we work - Relational giving Our approach is deeply relational. We move at the speed of trust and honor the asks of our partners. Upon invitation, we support our partners with necessary expertise that is beyond giving dollars. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645d433f472e12852c3211/5c1f98cd-b770-4258-b457-9b1b75c3a40a/Image+courtesy+of+SONG How we work - Grant and report free giving DSSF partners do not have to apply for grants or submit reports. Our partner institutions are under-resourced and overburdened by grant writing, evaluations, and report submission requirements, which take away time from their community work. We trust our partners to be the experts of their own economic conditions and steward resources in the service of their communities and peoples. https://www.deepsouthsolidarityfund.org/origin-story daily 0.75 2022-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645d433f472e12852c3211/b0626756-dba3-4720-b277-c68b6b5e5caa/Tory+Stephens Origin story - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645d433f472e12852c3211/b86fccfd-7afb-4c2b-9021-a6f9053fda17/Noel+Didla Origin story - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.deepsouthsolidarityfund.org/our-focus daily 0.75 2022-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645d433f472e12852c3211/db7f6836-015b-4ab1-b80a-22aa0e0cc299/Image+Courtesy+of+Another+Gulf+Is+Possible Our focus - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
