Building Movement Project

The Building Movement Project develops research, tools, training materials and opportunities for partnership that bolster nonprofit organizations’ ability to support the voice and power of the people they serve. For over a decade, BMP has been advancing the potential for nonprofit organizations to have an impact in building movements for progressive social change. We help organizations to align their social justice principles with their operating practices. Our practical resources and creative solutions help organizations innovate to meet the needs of the communities they serve and face the challenges of the external environment. We bring people together, sharing best practices and building bridges that lead to policies and approaches that support equity, fairness and sustainability. We offer a space for organizations and their allies to rethink how to engage their constituents and create more impact with their work. We provide alternatives to the current assumptions and expectations of how nonprofit organizations should be run, and envision a future in which nonprofits are doing their best work, for better communities.
