Supports political changemakers for inclusive and hopeful politics.
Multitudes Foundation is a pan-European organization dedicated to supporting political changemakers who are building more inclusive, human, and hopeful politics across Europe. Their mission is to provide financial resources, strategic advice, practical support, and a community of practice to individuals and initiatives working to reimagine politics. The foundation focuses on three key areas: initiatives aiming to build more inclusive and human political cultures, initiatives finding effective ways for people and communities to mobilize and build political power, and initiatives preparing new political leaders to run for office and create meaningful change. Multitudes offers grants at different stages of development, from ideation to scaling. Ideation grants provide €10,000 to support new ideas. Incubation grants offer up to €50,000 for building sustainable organizations. Scaling grants provide up to €100,000 for organizations ready to expand their impact. Recent grantees include Iniciativa nájemníků a nájemnic in the Czech Republic, working on tenants' rights; Bravo Novi Sad in Serbia, empowering local communities; and The Parliament of Exiles in France, giving voice to exiles in political discourse. The foundation prioritizes supporting individuals and groups directly affected by or underrepresented in politics. They value diversity, equity, and participatory approaches in their funding mechanisms and decision-making processes.
