Invest in Florida's
Civic Future.
Your gift sustains the Black, Latine, and queer leaders building the civic infrastructure Florida's democracy depends on, and puts direct, material support into the hands of the neighbors and children who make up the communities they serve.
Why Your Gift Matters
Democracy doesn't sustain itself. It depends on the people sustaining it. In Florida, those people are Black, Latine, and queer civic leaders: organizers, advocates, educators, and changemakers. They are the connective tissue of Florida's civic ecosystem, and they are burning out.
Justice Over Everything builds the leadership infrastructure and civic education systems these leaders need, and puts direct support into the hands of the neighbors and children standing right beside them.
Good People Good Trouble: Gives Back
The material-support arm of GPGT. Where the civic community builds political literacy, Gives Back puts direct support in neighbors' hands: gifts for kids, free coaching for the leaders holding their communities together, and fast, low-barrier grants for the ideas too small for traditional philanthropy.
Seasonal
The Gift Circle
Community-nominated children and families, matched with community-provided gifts. No bureaucracy, no shame, just neighbors showing up for neighbors.
Ongoing
Community Coaching Hours
Free 1:1 coaching sessions for nonprofit and community leaders who need someone in their corner right now, not a full cohort.
Rolling
The Good Trouble Fund
Small, fast grants directly to community members and grassroots efforts: mutual aid, a block event, a first-time organizer's idea.
