ACCESS FUND
The Access Fund exists so under-resourced founders, small nonprofits, and community builders can still get the strategy, systems, and support they need to launch what their communities are depending on.If you’re building something that matters—and you’re doing it without a safety net—this is for you.
The world keeps asking you to do more with less.
Build the program. Run the fundraiser. Save the community space. Keep the mission alive.
And somehow also… become a marketing expert, an ops director, a grant writer, and a sales team.
When you’re under-resourced, every decision has a cost.
Every delay can mean the project doesn’t happen.
And every “almost” hurts.
The Access Fund exists because impact shouldn’t be a luxury product.
All About the Access Fund
-
The Access Fund is a pool of resources we use to remove financial barriers for people doing mission-driven work.
This can include:
Full or partial funding for a program, pop-up, campaign, pilot, launch, or community project
Subsidized access to Reclaimers services (strategy, marketing, systems, launch support)
Guided support + accountability to help you actually finish what you started
This isn’t charity.
It’s infrastructure for people building what the system keeps neglecting. -

-
It’s infrastructure—built for people creating public good, building in overlooked communities, and doing the work the system keeps neglecting (and still depends on).
-
If you’ve been carrying the whole thing… you’re not alone.
The Access Fund is for:
Small nonprofits and grassroots orgs
Social enterprises and community-first small businesses
Artists + organizers building public good
Founders launching pilots, events, programs, and campaigns
Leaders doing essential work without the backing they deserve
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You just need a real project, a real need, and a real intention to serve. -
We prioritize work that:
Creates real outcomes for real people (not performative impact)
Serves communities that are under-invested, overlooked, or extracted from
Is led by people who are closest to the problem
Builds long-term capacity, not just short-term hype
Aligns with ethical, community-rooted practices
And we especially love projects that reclaim what’s been dismissed:
places, people, stories, cultures, and futures. -
