The Revolution Will Not Be Funded
Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex


$18.00

Edited by INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence

INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence learned the hard way that the revolution would not be funded. They got an email from the Ford Foundation that INCITE! was awarded a $100,000 grant, soon after they received another email from the Ford Foundation that they had reversed their grant decision because of INCITE!'s support for Palestinian liberation.

The chapters in this book tell the history of Foundations, the origins, who really benefits. Where does the money in Foundations come from, who does the money really belongs to? Do Foundations protect the status quo, do they really help those most in need, who gets the grants? What strings are attached?

Section heads are:

1. The Rise of the Non-Profit Industrial Complex

2. Non-profits and Global Organizing

3. Rethinking Non-Profits, Reimagining Resistance

"The Revolution Will Not Be Funded gives us valuable insight into what these activists call "the non-profit industrial complex," an unseen web of money and power that tries to undermine people's struggles for racial, class, economic, gender and environmental justice. It deserves the closest study." —Mumia Abu-Jamal, author of We Want Freedom
