GSNS Network
Is This Your Space?
If your work is rooted in solidarity, mutual aid, or justice and you need a place to land, we want to hear from you. No committees. No applications. Just a conversation.
What GSNS Can Offer
Support Without Strings.
We are not here to take over your work, rebrand it, or put our name on it. We are here to help hold space and resources so you can keep going.
Fund Hosting
GSNS can serve as a fund home for your initiative. If you need infrastructure to fundraise without forming your own legal entity, we may be able to pool and steward resources on your behalf. No cut taken. No funder priorities imposed.
Visibility and Uplift
We will share your work through our network and on this site. Not to take credit but to help more people find you, support you, and show up for what you are building.
Community Connection
Our network includes mutual aid groups, organizers, volunteers, and community members across Seattle and beyond. We can help connect your work to people who care about the same things you do.
Solidarity, Not Management
Your initiative stays yours. We do not direct, control, or speak for the work of others. We show up in solidarity and get out of the way when that is what is needed.
Is This a Good Fit?
You Might Be a Good Fit If...
You Are Doing the Work
Your initiative is already active or ready to launch. You are not looking for someone to build it for you. You just need support, not supervision.
Your Values Align
Your work is rooted in mutual aid, solidarity, equity, or justice. You believe communities take care of each other directly, without gatekeeping or hierarchy.
You Need a Home for Funds
You need a place to collect and steward donations without forming your own 501(c)(3) or legal entity. You want to stay lean and focused on the work.
You Want to Stay Independent
You are not looking for a parent organization or a fiscal sponsor who will tell you what to do. You want support, not oversight.
You Serve People Directly
Your work puts resources, support, or care directly into the hands of people who need it. No layers of bureaucracy between the donation and the impact.
You Are Community Led
The people most affected by the problem you are addressing are at the center of how you organize and make decisions. Not an afterthought.
What This Is
We Will Always Show Up.
- Hold funds transparently on your behalf
- Share your work through our network
- Connect you with volunteers and supporters
- Stand in solidarity with your mission
- Have an honest conversation about fit
- Respect your autonomy completely
What This Is Not
We Will Never Do This.
- Take a cut of funds raised for your initiative
- Direct or control how your work is done
- Require grant applications or reporting
- Put our name on work that belongs to you
- Make decisions on behalf of your community
- Accept grant money that comes with strings
Take the First Step
Your Work Deserves Support.
No formal process. No gatekeeping. Just reach out, tell us about what you are building, and we will figure out together if there is a way for GSNS to help.
