Resist is a philanthropic organization that supports grassroots groups engaged in social justice work. It highlights organizing, direct action, and creative strategies as ways to empower communities to create change. Its focus is on frontline activist networks and progressive organizations that need early-stage backing to start or sustain their efforts.

The organization traces its origins to 1967, rooted in the draft-resistance movement opposing the Vietnam War, and has since funded and supported a broad range of movements including civil rights and beyond, linking domestic power dynamics with U.S. foreign policy. Based in Somerville, Massachusetts, Resist operates as a relatively small foundation within the philanthropic fundraising sector, with a history of providing early support to progressive organizers.
