About Community Justice Project
Community Justice Project directs most of its funding through subgrants to grassroots civic power-building groups in Miami and across Florida, with a clear emphasis on racial justice, immigrant and worker organizing, and climate/environmental justice. The foundation frequently channels multi-year or repeated support to community-led nonprofits, faith congregations, and intermediary organizations that do local organizing, mutual aid, and policy advocacy. Grants skew toward operational and program support for organizing campaigns rather than capital projects or pure research. Its portfolio blends hyper-local neighborhood groups with state and regional networks to build civic power and policy influence.

About Community Justice Project
Community Justice Project Inc channels most of its grantmaking into subgrants for grassroots organizing groups, with especially large support for Miami-based civic power work. The single largest recent grant was $578,745 to The Smile Trust in 2025, followed by $204,500 to Miami Workers Center in 2024, both tagged as subgrants. That pattern fits a funder that backs community-led groups rather than individual recipients, and the portfolio repeatedly points to organizing, mutual aid, and advocacy infrastructure. The foundation’s recent grants also show sustained support for Florida networks that connect local campaigns to broader policy work. Miami Climate Alliance, Catalyst Miami Inc, Florida Immigrant Coalition, Florida Rising Together, and Struggle for Miamis Affordable Hous appear in the recent list, alongside faith-based and coalition partners in Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and other Florida cities. The grant sizes in the recent record move from five figures into six figures, suggesting a mix of larger anchor subgrants and mid-sized operating support. Across the portfolio, the foundation’s work is tightly linked to racial justice, immigrant rights, worker organizing, climate justice, and community-led democratic participation.
What Community Justice Project Funds
A major strand of Community Justice Project Inc’s giving is climate and environmental justice. It gave $85,000 to Miami Climate Alliance in 2024 and $54,000 to Earth Ethics Inc in 2023, while also supporting Southeast Climate Energy Network with both $50,000 in 2023 and $41,405 in 2024. Immigrant and faith-based organizing is another visible line of support. In 2024, Florida Immigrant Coalition received $41,405, and Iglesia Episcopal Jesus De Nazaret received $92,000 in 2023 and $41,105 in 2024. The foundation also backs Black-led social justice and youth organizing. Recent grants include $92,000 to National Coalition of 100 Black Wom in 2023, $41,105 to the same group in 2024, and $50,000 in 2023 plus $41,105 in 2024 to Alliance for Youth Organizing. Housing and food policy work appears as well, including $28,573 to Struggle for Miamis Affordable Hous and $10,600 to Florida Food Policy Council.
How Community Justice Project Gives
Recent grants cluster around a median size of $41,405, with the 25th percentile at $34,172 and the 75th percentile at $50,000. The pattern shows a mix of repeated subgrants and larger one-time awards: several groups reappear across 2023 and 2024, including Catalyst Miami Inc, Florida Rising Together, and Struggle for Miamis Affordable Hous. That points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated transactions. The foundation is organized as an operating nonprofit rather than a donor-advised fund, and it does not fund individuals or program-related investments. The recent list also labels grants as subgrants, indicating an intermediary or movement-support role in how funds are deployed.
