Veronica Garcia (she/her)

I was born in Los Angeles and raised on the U.S./Mexico border in El Paso, Texas. I'm a queer, nonbinary, Chicana and I've dedicated almost 25 years of my life to serving social justice groups organizing around a wide range of issues all across the country. I was first introduced to fundraising as a movement-building strategy by the Grassroots Institute for Fundraising Training (GIFT) more than 15 years ago. Since then I've supported thousands of communities in strengthening their grassroots fundraising capacity. I'm currently focused on startup organizing for the Wealth Reclamation Academy of Practitioners (WRAP) to transform how social justice organizers think about and practice movement resourcing in the U.S.
