Description
Social Justice Fund Northwest (SJF NW) provides grants to grassroots organizations in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming that are advancing social justice through community organizing. The fund prioritizes organizations led by those most directly affected by the issues, building leadership from within, addressing root causes, and working to create systemic change. Most grants are for general operating support, offering flexibility and self-determination to recipients. SJF NW uses a democratic, volunteer-driven grantmaking process and especially supports organizations committed to racial justice, rural groups, and those with limited access to mainstream funding. Grant cycles focus on a variety of issue areas and strategies, adapting each year to movement needs.
