We make space for change. GSP’s Convening brings together funders and grassroots movement leaders to discuss strategies, generate solutions, and move resources to the Southern communities that need them most. We center the wisdom and expertise of Black, Brown, and Indigenous folks in philanthropy and Southern movement and community-based organizations driving change.
We convene with intention. Every two years, our network gathers in a community where grassroots leadership is actively working to advance progress in the South. Our participants come ready to speak truth to power, build transformational relationships, and leave feeling energized and prepared to sustain Southern social justice infrastructure.
We challenge your perceptions of the South. As Southerners working to build an inclusive South that values and cares for all people, we are experts on what it means to live and love in a region that is often hostile towards us and our communities. The South is our home. We are proud of the places that have shaped us. We have developed wisdom and strategies that support us in changing the South for the better. We invite you to come learn alongside us.
