Grassroots Fundraising Network

The Grassroots Fundraising Network (GFN) came together in February 2019 as an informal network of volunteer group leaders who fundraise for campaigns, political organizations and civic organizations focused on voter participation.

On the second Tuesday of each month at 2pm ET, GFN hosts an all-member meeting featuring a presentation from an invited guest speaker.  There is a listserv for member announcements. Members can send a message to the group by emailing: GrassrootsFundraisingNetwork@googlegroups.com.  

The GFN steering committee cordially invites non-professional grassroots fundraisers to join the GFN.
