Become an Organisational Supporter of The Commons

How organisations can help The Commons Social Change Library make progressive movements smarter and stronger.

Why Support?

The Commons Library is a small not-for-profit with a big impact.

Annual support from organisations makes a significant difference to our capacity to respond to the learning needs of civil society and social movements.

Does your organisation use resources on The Commons Library to:

  • skill up your team and supporters?
  • plan advocacy and campaigns?
  • inform your training sessions?
  • or a myriad of other ways?!

We welcome you to become an Organisational Supporter and help keep the library thriving for all!

You will get priority access to the Commons librarians for advice, staff development sessions, and resource kits. Australian supporters gain access to The Commons Directory of MPs and Senators.

Supporters are acknowledged on The Commons website and in the Annual Report.

Rarely a week goes by that I don’t use The Commons Library to find useful historical case studies of campaign successes and learnings, resources and tools for organising and campaigning, and articles from very smart campaigners on campaign strategy and movement building. – Inari Saltau, Campaign Organiser, Amnesty International Australia.

The radical commitment to sharing our knowledge is why I love the Commons. It’s about knowing that we will go further, faster, better if we support each other not to make the same mistakes. We have a lot of people who want to create change, who are coming up with the same ideas that have already been tested and tried in other areas. We can learn from that, adapt it to our context, and then share back in a sense of mutual aid and reciprocity. – Te Raukura Oโ€™Connell Rapira, Director, 350 Australia
