Acerca de Bertha Foundation
Bertha Foundation supports activists, investigative journalists, filmmakers, lawyers, and artivists working on urgent social and economic justice issues worldwide. Its funding is highly programmatic and cohort-based, with a strong emphasis on narrative change, movement-building, and legal or investigative work that exposes power imbalances around land, labor, water, food, migration, and gender justice. The foundation also backs creative and convening spaces that give social justice practitioners time, community, and visibility to develop ambitious projects.

Cómo acercarte a este financiador
Watch for annual openings for the Bertha Artivism Awards, but note that the Challenge and Accelerator are often curated and may not accept unsolicited proposals. Strong applicants should align tightly with a specific social justice issue, show an investigative or arts-based strategy for public impact, and be ready to demonstrate community engagement and cross-sector collaboration.
