JustFund is what philanthropy needs. The portal helps us reach mission aligned funders, and more importantly, the common application saves us time so we can focus on the work at hand. Through JustFund we were able to uplift and share our youth organizing and healing justice projects to invested funders at a time of critical need.

My experience with JustFund is a great example of how marginalized communities can more easily become empowered when funders operate in a way that allows advocacy organizations like FRRC to focus the majority of the attention on liberation.

As part of Defending the Dream Fund, a pooled fund set up in 2017, Hill-Snowdon was excited to be one of the 'early adopters' of JustFund. Not only have we used it for the past four years for DDF, but we also decided to use JustFund for an internal HSF-only initiative called Democracy's Promise. JustFund has been easy to use for us, as well as for our grantee partners, and has even helped leverage additional resources for some of them.

Partnering with JustFund has freed up time for us and our grantees to focus on the core of the work -- supporting Black, Indigenous, and people of color led organizations to build power toward racial justice and equitable development -- instead of spending hours each day managing unnecessary grant and reporting 'paperwork.' We are grateful that the JustFund team is here to support values-driven practices for racial justice funders.

The usual mechanisms of philanthropic funding have been failing social movements and impacted communities for far too long. Way to Win was founded to shift power back to communities and upend philanthropy as usual. JustFund works seamlessly with our existing teams and allows us to focus on our transformative efforts to advance racial and economic justice.

JustFund helps reduce the burden on grantees applying to multiple funders, so they can do what they do best: organize communities, build movements and change the world. JustFund helps us move resources quickly to the organizers who need them, when they need them most

Having a portal like JustFund rewrites us into history and makes it possible to know what Native peoples are dreaming, planning and organizing in the 21st Century. Less than 1% of philanthropy is going to Indian Country. Unless there are vehicles like JustFund, we don’t have a space to share the innovative and incredible work going on at the grassroots and tribal level.
