About Arc of Justice
Arc of Justice makes a small number of large, targeted grants to progressive activist and international solidarity organizations. Their giving emphasizes political advocacy, peace/anti-war activism, and funding intermediaries that enable grassroots campaigns rather than general service delivery. Grants are high-dollar and strategic, aimed at national and international advocacy efforts.

About Arc of Justice
Arc of Justice’s recent grants show a strong preference for general support to advocacy groups working on peace, legal rights, immigration, and international solidarity. In 2023, the foundation made several large awards, including $500,000 to Grassroots International and $500,000 to Social Good Fund, both for general support. It also backed Code Pink with $355,350 and the Center for Constitutional Rights with $200,000, signaling support for organizations that combine public advocacy with legal and policy work. The pattern suggests a funder that uses flexible dollars to strengthen campaign infrastructure rather than narrowly defined project work. The foundation’s portfolio includes both direct movement organizations and intermediaries. Grants to Social Good Fund and Solidaireproteus Fund indicate support for fiscal or donor-advised structures that can channel money toward activist campaigns. Alongside those intermediaries, Arc of Justice funded organizations focused on anti-war activism, constitutional litigation, and international justice, such as World Beyond War, Jewish Voice for Peace, and Greenpeace. Most awards in the recent list are described as general support, underscoring a preference for core capacity and unrestricted backing.
What Arc of Justice Funds
One clear theme is peace and anti-war organizing. Arc of Justice gave $355,350 to Code Pink for general support and $100,000 to World Beyond War for general support, while also supporting No More Deaths with $10,000. These grants point to sustained interest in movements tied to conflict, militarism, and border violence. Another area is legal and civil liberties advocacy. The foundation awarded $200,000 to the Center for Constitutional Rights, $20,000 to Aclu, and $20,000 to Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless, each for general support. It also gave $10,000 to Lawg and $20,000 to Public Citizen Foundation. International solidarity appears as well. Arc of Justice provided $500,000 to Grassroots International and $20,000 to Yemem Relief and Reconst Fdn, both as general support, and supported Partners in Health with $20,000.
How Arc of Justice Gives
Recent grants cluster around small-to-mid sized awards, with a p25 of $10,000, a median of $10,000, and a p75 of $20,000. The list also includes a few much larger general-support grants, creating a pattern of concentrated high-dollar support alongside a broader tier of smaller awards. The 2023 grants shown are all general support. Arc of Justice appears to favor flexible funding and core support rather than project-specific restrictions. The recent list includes fiscal sponsors and intermediaries such as Social Good Fund and Solidaireproteus Fund. The grant history shown here is concentrated in 2023, so recurring multi-year patterns cannot be inferred from the provided list.
