2025 Sponsorship

SJF Sponsorship

At Social Justice Fund NW, we utilize sponsorships as a way of building bridges. We hope that organizations utilize this resource to fund their most ambitious, innovative projects that are often not supported by other funders. If you are not currently an SJF grantee or haven’t received a grant from us in over 5 years, sponsorship is a great way to get more connected to the organization.

Sponsorships are available to grassroots organizations based in ID, MT, OR, WA, and WY. If you do not have 501c3 or 501c4 status, you will need a fiscal sponsor.
