Channel Focus Area:
Strengthening the Women's Funding Movement
Mission:
The Substratum Initiative strengthens the roots of democracy, climate, and gender-justice ecosystems by co-creating durable infrastructure—financial reserves, shared systems, and governance supports—that help movements endure and adapt. The initiative's mission is to provide reliable foundations so those defending rights and the planet can focus on what matters most.
In nature, the substratum is the unseen layer that holds everything together — the soil beneath the soil, where roots take hold and ecosystems endure.
Channel Grant:
2025-27: Channel made a grant to the Substratum Initiative to support its launch and begin carrying out its mission to strengthen the roots of democracy, climate, and gender-justice ecosystems by co-creating durable infrastructure—financial reserves, shared systems, and governance supports—that help movements endure and adapt.
