GivingTuesday’s Starling Collective is a global learning lab and innovative fellowship for grassroots organizers, activists, artists, and changemakers. The program recognizes, supports, and uplifts the extraordinary leadership arising from within communities to meet needs and provide healing, leadership that is often  under recognized and under supported.

Have a great idea to increase civic participation in your community? Looking to take your mutual aid or community care effort to the next level? Working to pursue radical systems change? GivingTuesday wants to hear from you!

GivingTuesday’s Starling Collective welcomes innovators from around the word, of all backgrounds, ages and levels of experience. We aim to break down the barriers that often leave diverse voices and nontraditional movement builders on the sidelines. We are particularly interested in supporting work in the following areas: 

  • Mobilizing communities
  • Pursuing systemic change
  • Urgent community needs
  • Increasing civic participation
  • Growing movement leadership
  • Mutual aid, reciprocity, and community-care networks
