Social Justice Fund is pleased to announce the round one awardees of our 2025 Seed Grant cycles!
Seed grants will provide small unrestricted funds to new groups who are in the early stages of building their community work but do not yet meet all of SJF’s community organizing criteria, and may not yet qualify for our regular grants.
