About Cypress Fund

Cypress Fund is a movement-centered fund that invests in BIPOC-led organizing, healing, and infrastructure in the Carolinas, and cross-race x cross-class organizing. Rooted in Black queer feminist traditions, we exist to move resources, shift power, and build the conditions for collective liberation in the South. We believe that those closest to the harm are closest to the solutions, and we follow their lead. Through trust-based grantmaking, political education, and donor organizing, we support the brilliance of rural, poor, queer, trans, and Southern BIPOC communities shaping the future of our region. Whether it’s fighting for reproductive justice, building political infrastructure, defending land, or cultivating collective care, our partners are creating strategies for freedom that are bold, brilliant, and deeply rooted. What We Do: - Fund grassroots power through grants and multi-year support - Organize donors to move money differently and follow movement leadership - Build political education that strengthens infrastructure and imagination - Cultivate interdependence between movements, funders, and communities We’re not just a fund. We’re part of a growing ecosystem committed to repair, relationship, and radical transformation in the South.
