Launching Zoa Fund

Why we built Zoa Fund and what we plan to support — a brief introduction to our work.

Policy & political work

This is a placeholder post used to validate the Notes layout. Sabina or John can replace it with a real launch note when ready, or leave it as a hidden draft.

What this section is for

Notes are short pieces of writing about our work — what we're funding, why, and what we're learning. We expect to publish notes when:

  • A program area's focus shifts and we want to explain why.
  • A campaign hits a milestone we want to share publicly.
  • We've learned something from a grant that's worth surfacing for the broader field.
  • We want to take a position on a movement-wide question.

What this section is not for

  • Press releases. (We will issue press separately when relevant.)
  • Generic "thought leadership" disconnected from what we actually fund.
  • Aggregated movement news. (Other publications do that better.)
