This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking for your help. We have exciting plans for next year, but one of the biggest is raising enough money to finish setting up shop on Elmwood Avenue — right next door to Modjeska Monteith Simkins’ historic home in the heart of Columbia. There, we will continue to strive for Modjeska’s lifelong vision of an equitable and truly democratic South Carolina, and we hope you will join us.
The building already belongs to us, but our next big step is making it yours and ours to use. We have lots of plans for our new home, which we’re calling GROW in a nod to the Network’s former name and space (Grass Roots Organizing Workshop). Some of the things we hope to bring to you include:
- Headquarters and meeting space for network members.
- Classroom and library for Modjeska Simkins School alumni and students.
- Cafe, performance space, and showcase for local artists.
- Rooftop deck for dreaming, creating, organizing.
Can you help us reach our goal?
We are the only S.C.-focused, S.C.-based nonprofit organizing around a radical praxis, propelled by a beloved community that puts action to words. Your investment will help us develop the infrastructure needed to host and support that community.
In the spirit of Giving Tuesday, you can share your gift with a loved one. If you donate on behalf of someone, they will receive a letter making them aware of your gift. Be sure to include your honoree’s address in [the “Honoree Name” field]. You will also receive a receipt for your tax-deductible donation by email.
