WILD GEESE FOUNDATION

Mission

Wild Geese Foundation works in an intersectional manner to defend human rights, promote food justice and sovereignty, and to uplift youth. We acknowledge a society in which marginalized humans do not thrive is unsustainable.

Nationally, we support five issue areas: Reproductive justice, LGBTQ equality, youth, climate justice and organizing in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities. Additionally, in the state of Massachusetts, we support food justice and expanding access to affordable and healthy food.

We focus our support on organizations with Black, Indigenous and People of Color leadership with the understanding that centuries of white supremacy and violence must be overcome. Our climate justice grants support restoring our planet to health so all life can be nurtured. Our support for reproductive freedom for all people is unequivocal.

We believe, as Mary Oliver said, “You do not have to walk on your knees” to access resources needed for the work to be done.
