Celebrating our collective power to #resetphilanthropy, for good

Dear JustFund Community,

Thank you for being a valued partner as we work together to change the way we give, so that communities can thrive.

We start 2024 with over 140 funds using the JustFund Common Application™ and collectively moving over $265M through a solution that is rooted in equity and built on trust.

We are excited to work with you to continue building core products and features that further align philanthropy’s grantmaking practices with our collective core values – and continue helping to move more money to movements!

Wishing you and yours the best in this new year!

Iara Peng, Founder & CEO
