Social Justice Fund

Who We Are

Social Justice Fund NW (SJF) is dedicated to funding and supporting grassroots organizations that work towards progressive, systemic social change throughout the Northwest.

We engage our members in fundraising and grantmaking, focusing on organizations led by those most affected by social justice issues. We provide essential resources to initiatives in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming to strengthen grassroots efforts in the movement for equity and justice.

Our Approach

What sets us apart is our commitment to participatory grantmaking—a model that centers the voices and leadership of those directly impacted by injustice. We believe that lasting change comes from the ground up, and our role is to provide the resources and support that amplify community power.

What We Do

Our mission is to create long-term social justice solutions by empowering community-led organizations. Through our innovative grantmaking model, we ensure that funds are directed to organizations that use community organizing as their primary strategy. We work closely with grantees, members, and donors to build strong networks to address systemic inequalities and promote transformative social change.

Our Impact

Since our founding, we've supported hundreds of grassroots organizations across the Northwest, helping to build movements for racial justice, environmental sustainability, economic equity, and human rights. Our grantmaking process is designed to be accessible and responsive to the needs of communities working on the frontlines of social change.
