Who We Are
The Social Justice Philanthropy Collaborative is a growing network of national organizations within the field of philanthropy that calls on grantmakers and donors to increase and deepen their commitment to funding social change. These national organizations express support of social justice philanthropy explicitly through their mission, values and programming.
The work of the Collaborative involves building the network to include more allies and partners, identifying activities and events that will convene a broader coalition of organizations in the Collaborative, and building power and influence in the field of philanthropy. Each organization signifies their commitment through participation in ongoing conversations, thinking, and time of their executive leadership and a trustee or board member.
This network embraces strategic relationship building among like-minded groups working for change in philanthropy. Meet our members:
