About social justice grants

Social justice grants fund nonprofits advancing racial, economic, gender, and systemic equity through advocacy, community organizing, policy reform, and direct services. Funding is concentrated in private philanthropy, with funders such as the Ford Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and the Open Society Foundations supporting movement-building and structural change.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grants are available for social justice work?

Social justice grants support community organizing, policy advocacy, leadership development, litigation, and programs that address the root causes of inequity. Funders increasingly offer flexible general-operating and multi-year support, and many prioritize organizations led by people from the communities most affected by injustice.

Who funds social justice nonprofits?

Private foundations lead social justice funding, including the Ford Foundation's equity-focused grantmaking, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation's work on racial equity, and the Open Society Foundations' support for justice and democracy. Donor collaboratives, community foundations, and progressive funding intermediaries also direct significant resources to this field.

How do social justice organizations find the right funders?

Start by identifying foundations whose stated priorities match your issue area and approach, since social justice funders often focus on specific causes, populations, or strategies. Reviewing funders' published grant lists, building relationships before applying, and clearly articulating both your theory of change and community accountability all strengthen your chances.
