At Resource Generation, we organize young people with wealth and class privilege in the U.S. to become transformative leaders working towards the equitable distribution of wealth, land, and power. In the coming months and years ahead, social justice organizations across the country will be forced to work beyond capacity to build power and resist the worst of the Trump administration. Our work has never felt more relevant or urgent. Now, more than ever, social justice movements need resources.

With nearly 20 years of experience behind us, hundreds of current members in 15 chapters across the country, and a record increase in interest from young folks with wealth who want to take action, Resource Generation (RG) is in a powerful position to make an impact in this political moment. As a result of getting involved with RG, our members end up giving sixteen times as much money to social justice organizations as they were before they joined.

As part of  our Fall Fundraising campaign, we’re challenging our dues-paying members to match their gift to RG with an equal or larger gift to another social justice organization or project — we call this a ‘Movement Match.’

If you’re already an RG member and you’re ready to match your RG membership to a social justice organization, get started here.

Movements — and the people that power them — are chronically underfunded, understaffed, and compete for the same small pots of funding. RG members have the ability to influence and connect to resources that most people don’t have access to. When RG members move their money to support organizations essential to movements for racial, social, environmental and economic justice, they demonstrate how young people with wealth can double-down to help support the movement’s immediate and long-term needs. What’s more, the national wealth divide is continuing to grow to historic levels to the detriment of the vast majority of poor, working, and middle-class people who live in the United States, something that will only increase under a Trump administration. We, of the top 5-10 percent, are overdue to move our resources. Participating in the Movement Match is one way young people with wealth can hold ourselves accountable to our values and the work we believe in.

This year, a ton of RG members have already participated in the Movement Match — together, 92 of our members have matched their RG memberships with $532,836! For example, $34,985 is going to LGBTQI social justice projects, $15,150 to Indigenous rights, $67,780 to racial justice and POC-led organizing, $39,430 to social justice funds, and several thousand dollars more have been pledged to economic justice, immigrant justice, healing justice projects, climate change organizations and more.

With nearly 450 dues-paying members, imagine the resources RG’s community could move to social justice organizations if all of our members participated in the Movement Match.
