In 2018 Social Justice Fund will lead over 100 people through a process of learning, community building, fundraising and grantmaking for social change through our 2018 Giving Projects. We’re excited to offer the following Giving Projects in Seattle and Portland. Our Giving Project model continues to be incredibly successful in developing leadership and moving money to social justice organizing. Each Giving Project guides members through a deep process of learning about race, class, fundraising, and social change. We hope you will consider joining a Giving Project in 2018!

Getting involved is easy – just sign up online and an SJF staff person will set up a time to meet with you!
