Abstract: Rsist, in its 21st year, was able to give out more money in 1988 than ever before.The following list of 139 organizations is comprised of recipients of Resist Grants (137), Loans (2), and Donor Directed Grants (2).The total amount of Resist grants, loans and donor directed grants was $56,662.We continue to give out a large number of small grants because we feel the seed money for these often small grassroots activist groups can be critical to their ability to initiate projects, expand their membership, and run fund raising campaigns of their own.Please note that while in 1988 we continued to give the largest number of grants to groups working around Central/La tin America and Peace/ Anti-militarism (areas we get the largest number of proposals from) the number of grants to organizations working on health/ AIDS, labor issues, gay/lesbian liberation, women's issues, and the Middle East all increased.This increase is due to the continuing efforts of the Resist staff to let groups around the country know about Resist.Some of you have expressed concern over the past year about the number of grants given to Boston-area groups.A New York donor wrote us to say that she gives her money, not to fund New York or Boston groups, but to fund groups in small towns throughout the country that might have trouble raising the money themselves.Since funding groups in small cities and towns far away from big money-giving centers continued on page two Members of the Women's Skills and Resources Exchange of Seattle join the COMADRES in El Salvador during an 11-day occupation of the National Cathedral in June, 1987, to protest the disappearance of unionists.The WSRE received a Resist grant to assist them with a membership drive.Photo: Dana Schuerholz.
