Seeding Justice Fund
Background and Overview
Our Seeding Justice Fund grants, made through our General Fund, provide mission-aligned, grassroots organizations in Oregon and Washington with quickly deployed finding to respond to emergencies and opportunities.
This year our grants focused on supporting immigrant and refugee communities, identity and reproductive justice, LGBTQ+ justice, and democracy resilience. They went to grassroots organizations across Oregon and Washington who continue to organize and mobilize in response to threats against our most vulnerable communities. The grants totaled $336,000.
