Membership Requirements
With shared resources, the CoThinkk social change philanthropy model assists communities of color through grants, leadership trainings, networking opportunities, and other gifts.
Give your time
There are a lot of different initiatives, meetings, conversations, and ongoing planning throughout the year. Monthly meetings are usually held on the second Saturday of the month, in addition to other meetings that directly serve the community. Many members choose to serve on a committee and work together outside of monthly meeting times to prepare necessary tasks.
Members are asked to contribute a minimum 40 hours/year.
Give your talent
Each member has their own unique background, experiences, gifts, and professional training. At CoThinkk, we are stronger with diversified abilities and skills. Just about everyone can contribute their unique gifts to increase CoThinkk’s capacity to serve.
Unique talents include grant-writing, fundraising, facilitation, tech, design, the arts, networking, education, law and policy, multi-media, translation, research, health, and so much more.
Give your treasure
The treasure each member gives directly impacts the positive change that is possible for African American and Latinx communities. CoThinkk member’s monetary contributions are collected for grant money that serves leaders of color in ways that traditional funding often misses. This innovative funding approach of dollars raised from the community and by the community creates a dynamic process for how we value and foster positive change.
Membership fees are $250/annually or $21/month.
