About Gender Justice
Gender Justice’s recent grantmaking shows a clear pattern of legal and policy advocacy built through intermediaries and alliances. The largest recent grant went to Gender Justice Action for education and policy advocacy aimed at strengthening gender equity and reproductive justice in the organization’s state. That sits alongside alliance-based support to organizations such as Women’s Law Project and Southwest Women’s Law Center, each funded through the Alliance for Legal and Policy Advocacy for similar work. A smaller award to Prairie Action Nd extends that approach to legal and policy advocacy in North Dakota. The organization’s stated purpose is to advance gender equity through the law by dismantling legal, structural, and cultural barriers that contribute to gender inequity, with a focus on bodily autonomy, safety, health, and opportunity for people of all genders. The grant list suggests a funder that supports state-based advocates, legal practitioners, and coalition partners rather than individual applicants. Its giving centers reproductive rights, transgender equity, gender equity, LGBTQ+ rights, civil rights litigation, policy advocacy, community education and trainings, and coalition-building. All listed recent grants were made in 2024 and were awarded in the United States.
What Gender Justice Funds
A strong thread in Gender Justice’s work is reproductive justice. The foundation gave $250,000 to Gender Justice Action for education and policy advocacy to strengthen gender equity and reproductive justice in the organization’s state, indicating support for organizing and policy work rather than direct services alone. Legal advocacy is another recurring focus. It awarded $39,833 to the Women’s Law Project through the Alliance for Legal and Policy Advocacy for work tied to gender equity and reproductive justice. A similar $39,833 grant went to Southwest Women’s Law Center through the same alliance, pointing to a coordinated field-building strategy. The foundation also backs state-level policy work through smaller grants. Prairie Action Nd received $15,000 for legal and policy advocacy to strengthen gender equity and reproductive justice in its state. Across these awards, education, advocacy, and coalition-linked legal work are consistent tools.
How Gender Justice Gives
Gender Justice’s typical grant size is tightly clustered at $39,833, with the p25, median, and p75 all at that same level. The recent list also includes one much larger award of $250,000 and a smaller $15,000 grant, showing a mix of anchor support and smaller field grants. The foundation is a regular funder and a pass-through funder, with grants described as subgrants through Gender Justice or through the Alliance for Legal and Policy Advocacy. The 2024 list does not show repeat recipients across multiple years in the provided data.
