About Foundation for A Just Society
Foundation for a Just Society centers grants to women, girls, and LGBTQI people, with a pattern of multi-year general operating support and accompaniment for organizations and networks advancing gender and racial justice. The foundation’s recent records show repeated seven-figure commitments to feminist infrastructure: Urgent Action Fund - Africa received $1,100,000 in 2025 for general operating support, and Fondo De Accion Urgente Para America Latina Y El Caribe received the same amount in 2025 for general operating support. Those grants fit a broader model that prioritizes flexible, unrestricted funding rather than tightly scoped project awards. Its portfolio also includes movement-building intermediaries and funds that channel resources to grassroots organizers. In 2025, Borealis Philanthropy received $1,000,000 to support the Black-led Movement Fund, while the Black Feminist Fund received $850,000 through Amalgamated Charitable Foundation in 2025. Another large commitment went to the Girls First Fund via Capital for Good USA, reflecting support for girls’ rights alongside women’s and LGBTQI rights. Across the grant list, the foundation repeatedly backs organizations positioned to strengthen local leadership, collective safety, and advocacy capacity.
