Social Justice Fund is pleased to announce the awardees of our 2024 Environmental Justice Giving Project!
This Giving Project focused on making grants to support organizing work that aims to achieve equitable access to a clean and healthy environment for frontline communities most impacted by the climate crisis, environmental racism, and environmental injustice.
The “environment” in the context of the environmental justice movement is defined as the spaces where we live, work, learn, play, pray, and heal. This grant went to rural and urban organizations working at the intersection of environmental, racial, and economic justice to create sustainable, self-determined and just communities:
