SACReD invites you to build collaborative relationships in countering Christian Nationalism and shaping a transformative world.


Your support is more than financial – it's material, spiritual, and relational, backing for communities dedicated to making Reproductive Justice a lived reality. Will you commit to sharing resources and building our collective well by sponsoring the SACReD Gathering?

SACReD defines sponsorship as a pathway to collaborative, responsive relationships. You can learn more about our views on sponsorship and collaborative resource sharing here. SACReD prioritizes relational organizing and considers our sponsorships akin to mutual aid, that allow for deepening connections for powerful, transformational work; more than the typical charity models often seen in the non-profit sector.


All donations to SACReD between February 14-May 31 will be recorded as contributions to the SACReD Gathering. All donations under $500 can be made directly through our donation page. 

Want to support at the Community or Corporate levels? Reach out directly to Co-Director Latishia James :[email protected] to ensure sponsorship benefits.
