Both organizations invest in experienced movement organizers and equip them with curriculum to train others in their communities.

Broad incumbents

• U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP): USIP is a federally funded think tank whose 2015 'Aid to Civil Society: A Movement Mindset' report coined the conceptual framing Rhize's 'Adopting a Movement Mindset' course is built on. USIP operates at a much broader policy and research scale but shares the same movement-mindset conceptual territory.
• Civicus: Civicus is a global civil society alliance and research/policy organization that monitors civic space and advocates for movement-friendly policies. Although it does not run movement-coaching fellowships like Rhize, it operates adjacent research and INGO-engagement programming.

Emerging players

• Do Your Own Thing: Do Your Own Thing (previously Proactive) is a UK-based organization that runs training programs for activists focused on organizing skills, well-being, and sustainability. Comparable target audience (activists and organizers) with a more wellness- and sustainability-tilted curriculum than Rhize's power-building focus.
