Take Our Money

RPIRG funds bold, justice-driven student initiatives that challenge systems of oppression and build a more equitable world. Every year, we allocate a significant portion of our revenue to support projects, campaigns, research, and events led by students who are organizing for change. Whether you're confronting racism, colonialism, climate injustice, or economic inequality, our funding exists to back your work and amplify your impact.

This isn't just about financial support — it's about resourcing your resistance. We're committed to redistributing power by investing in students who are building safer, more inclusive, and more just communities. If you're working to uplift marginalized voices, disrupt harmful narratives, or transform the structures around you, RPIRG is here to stand with you.
