Partner With TFC
We partner with organizations on private workshops, coaching, and group facilitation, in-person and online. Our trainers are based across the U.S. and often travel for movement support. We offer both standard and custom designed curriculum, rooted in our experiential approach, prioritizing grassroots movement partners building power for social justice. We accept inquiries quarterly, aiming to establish partnerships 4-6 months in advance, but also reserve limited availability for more urgent requests. Read below for more info and for our interest form.

We make partnership decisions after each quarterly deadline, balancing considerations around trainer availability, content area, and budget. We often can’t accept every application, but aim to connect you with peer training organizations who might be available.
For smaller or more urgent requests (less than 4 months in advance), please contact us directly. We may be available, but trainer calendars often fill up.
Rates
We offer sliding scale fees across all our work, from pro bono to professional rates, honoring different abilities to pay and to compensate our trainers and staff fairly. We ask organizations with larger budgets to pay at higher rates to keep our work accessible to all. Please contact us if you have questions about rates before you apply.
Who We Work With
We prioritize organizations building social justice movements toward transformative change, across community, labor, and electoral contexts. We work with scrappy, local grassroots groups and established, national formations. We prioritize organizers and movement trainers/facilitators working to resist racism, patriarchy, and ecological collapse; expand multiracial democracy; and win a just economy beyond capitalism. We partner less with social service providers, government agencies, higher education institutions, and individuals unaffiliated with an organization, campaign, or coalition.
