Amplify Long Beach Voices with Long Beach Forward

We are asking our partners, donors, and fans LIKE YOU to rally your friends, family, and networks to support Long Beach Forward's first ever week-long Amplify Long Beach fundraising campaign. You can make a donation here now (starting at $5 or more) -or- choose to share your love for LB Forward's mission by becoming a fundraiser for this week's online peer-to-peer giving campaign. By becoming a fundraiser with a few quick steps (click the Start Fundraising button below), you will help serve the impacted Long Beach individuals and families that we focus on every day... and you'll even help your friends feel good about doing good.

Starting an #AmplifyLB fundraiser is easy to do, and it's fun, too. We'll give you all the tools you'll need to make a difference. With your help, we can amplify people power in this important time.

What We Believe

We believe that regardless of our race or income, everyone in Long Beach deserves to have their voice heard by local decision makers, so that we all have a say in how our city can be healthier, safer, more inclusive, and equitable.

What Makes Our Work Stand Out

Our leadership development and power building work is led by and with low-income communities of color across age, sexuality, and disability. We envision and work toward a Long Beach where race and income don't determine a person's future.

How Your Donation Helps Real People

When we develop leadership, increase resources, and forge partnerships, community organizations and advocates can effectively influence policy decisions for a healthier Long Beach. Long Beach Forward provides local organizations and community members with the tools, training, and resources they need to be heard, be influential, and drive real change in Long Beach. With your support of the #AmplifyLB campaign, we will increase access to resources for community groups and residents of all ages to help them drive tangible change in our city.

Funding will help provide resources that are otherwise limited or inaccessible to our community. Donations will help Long Beach Forward continue to provide the infrastructure to administer, convene, and facilitate collaborative work and coalition based campaigns and initiatives. This includes virtual and in-person meeting space, translation, language access, food, and stipends for community members on key committees, as well as myriad ways we support emerging groups and grassroots campaigns that have little or no funding.

In all, your donation or support with fundraising this week will help amplify Long Beach voices and the change-making that we need most. Thank you community!
