Description
Social Justice Fund Northwest (SJF) provides grants to grassroots and community-based organizations in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming that use a community organizing approach to address systemic social injustice. The fund prioritizes organizations led by those most directly affected by the issues they address, especially groups working in communities of color and rural areas. SJF supports both established organizations and emerging startups, with most grants awarded as general operating support to maximize flexibility and self-determination for grantees. Grant decisions are made democratically by volunteer panels, reflecting SJF’s commitment to participatory philanthropy.
