SJF Executive Director Mijo Lee accepts the Outstanding Philanthropic Organization award.
SJF Executive Director Mijo Lee accepts the Outstanding Philanthropic Organization award.

On November 1, Social Justice Fund was honored as the 2018 Outstanding Philanthropic Organization at the National Philanthropy Day event in downtown Seattle. More than 600 people were on hand, and SJF Executive Director Mijo Lee spoke to the crowd about the importance of taking risks, and how what we in philanthropy call “risk” pales in comparison to the life-and-death risks that our grantees take everyday. 

Thanks to AFP Advancement Northwest and the selection committee for this special award. Under our previous name – A Territory Resource or ATR – SJF also won the Outstanding Philanthropic Organization award back in 1995.
