Chi-Ante Jones (she/her) is a proud scholar and Queer Black Feminist. As a Spelman College
graduate, her love for Black Queer Feminist theory blossomed into a global career focused on
creating and supporting Black Liberation spaces. Chi-Ante has worked as a southern organizer
and donor strategist for many organizations, including Solidaire Network, Youth Engagement
Fund, Girls Inc., and Neighborhood Funders Group. Through her work, Chi-Ante has supported
communities of color across the South to have access to resources and develop strategies
focused on building political power, making long-term systems change, and building
transformative relationships between donors and grassroots organizers. Chi-Ante co-founded
Cypress Fund and the Grove Action Fund, organizing collaboratives and political homes for
donors focused on building people's power throughout the Carolinas. Bringing together donors,
organizers, and community leaders across race and class, the Funds build relationships and
grassroots power by putting decision-making in the hands of trusted organizers to fund
organizing in their communities and by shifting the organizing landscape through donor
organizing and education.
