Writer’s Church: Every Sunday is also a celebration of art as a tool of resistance. We have Writer’s Church, and we have poetry that honors the art and practice of sacred storytelling. During our Sunday Celebration Writers Church you can start writing all the things you are grateful for with one of our free journals and pens that we pass out every Sunday.
We’re honored to announce that Glide Memorial Church has been selected as an inaugural awardee of the Walter & Elise Haas Fund’s WE Initiative.
This $12M grantmaking strategy represents a transformative shift in how philanthropy can support community-led change in the Bay Area. For our organization, it means:
✓ Unrestricted operating support over the next five years
✓ More space to be more focused on our mission
✓ Participation in a learning cohort with 23 other visionary organizations
✓ Partnership with a funder committed to trust-based philanthropy
The WE Initiative invests in organizations advancing belonging in the Bay Area. We’re honored to be recognized for our commitment to this important work.
In an era of increasing polarization, this investment in belonging matters deeply.
