Bold Ideas. Brave Leaders.
Learn MoreThe Leading Edge Fund seeds, incubates and accelerates bold ideas from the next generation of progressive movement leaders in California. The fund provides leaders unrestricted funding and leadership development so they can pursue the vision for change that deep transformation demands. From 2022-2024, the Leading Edge Fund will award $250,000 over three years to each of nine fellows who are taking on pervasive inequity and injustice in communities of color across California through organizing, movement building and policy advocacy.
From ending racialized police violence, to shining a light on disproportionate incarceration rates for Native Americans, to expanding the role of the public defender to ensure representation for immigrants, the 2016-2018 fellows’ cutting-edge ideas have the potential to transform the state. Watch our new video to learn more about these brave leaders.
