The Collaborative for Gender + Reproductive Equity (CGRE) cultivates new donors and raises new funds for game changing state-focused investments that advance gender, reproductive, and racial equity in the United States. CGRE provides funding to unite advocates across issue silos; defend gender, reproductive, and racial equity; and work towards a future where every person has the resources and autonomy to thrive. CGRE’s Advisory Committee of funders learns together with field experts, amplifying the impact of their giving, and accelerating change in five-year increments. CGRE’s approach focuses on three core areas of work: Judicial Strategy, Movement Power, and Majority Building. Since launching over five years ago, CGRE has deployed over $260 million in funding to grantee partners.
