Nearly 10,000 California nonprofits are members of CalNonprofits
CalNonprofits speaks with the voice of California nonprofits to the legislature, government agencies, philanthropy, and the public. They do this through working with legislators and nonprofit coalitions to develop legislation that will allow nonprofits to bring their full power to serving their communities, and to remove the obstacles to efficient contracting and high-impact work.
The association brings nonprofits together to discuss and debate issues, to think through the implications of government and philanthropic actions, and to build networks that support nonprofit organizations and the communities they serve. CalNonprofits also publishes research, analysis, news and opinion through its website, print newsletter, and e-newsletter.
Membership benefits include discounts to goods and services, exclusive access to special membership opportunities, and the energy that comes from participating in an active advocacy network.

Movement Generation Justice & Ecology Project inspires and engages in transformative action towards the liberation and restoration of land, labor, and culture
Movement Generation was birthed in the early 2000s in unceded Lisjan Ohlone territory, what is now known as the San Francisco Bay Area of California. It was conceptualized and built by a planning committee of grassroots organizers, movement builders, and popular educators organizing in community-based organizations across a vast array of issue areas.
In its first two years – housed by SOUL (the School of Unity and Liberation) and the Movement Strategy Center, and under the leadership of founding director Zak Sinclair – MG convened young movement leaders from more than 30 organizations into a series of critical movement strategy discussions.
The Justice & Ecology Project developed out of this work. Amidst the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, organizers felt a deeper collective need and urgency to better understand the opportunities and challenges facing working class communities of color in relationship to ecology, sustainability, and the global ecological crisis.

The Children’s Movement harnesses collective power to achieve transformational and systemic results for California kids
Our kids deserve a future where they can reach their full potential with no limitations. One with accessible health and childcare, high-quality education, strong mental health services, and equity across all institutions. But too often, efforts to achieve these goals are too disconnected to demand policymakers’ attention, and kids are not prioritized when critical decisions are made.
Coordinated by Children Now – California’s only whole-child (pre-natal to age 26) organization working to improve children’s health, education, and overall well-being – members of The Children’s Movement unite to ensure children are prioritized in policymaking, with the shared goal of improving the lives of kids across the state. We achieve this through strategic collective action campaigns that unify the many voices in support of kids into one powerful message, effectively pushing policymakers to listen to the needs of children and families.

Supporting the education of Bay Area children facing homelessness and housing insecurity since 2010
CEP is a response to the inequitable, but predictable, distribution of housing and educational opportunities. Without large-scale structural and economic reparations and the redistribution of resources from the few to the many, far too many families and children will continue to struggle to secure safe and suitable housing and access high-quality educational opportunities. Despite the individuals and organizations doing the difficult and critical work of helping families access and maintain safe, affordable, and suitable housing and who work tirelessly towards educational equity, there remain thousands of children in California facing homelessness and housing insecurity and who, by and large, attend the lowest performing schools and have the fewest opportunities to thrive academically.
These are our students. We may not be able to house them, we may not be able to change the schooling they receive, and we have little control over the opportunities or lack thereof that greet them upon graduation, but we can support their learning and we can champion them. We can participate in the development of their intellectual curiosity, we can support them as they learn to read, we can help them build a strong foundation of knowledge and academic skills, and we can contribute to their enjoyment of learning. We can, and we will, tell them with our words and through our actions that they matter and that we care about them.
