See Social Justice Groups in Action!

This year we will award three Support Grants of $45,000 each, and two Capacity Building Grants of $65,000 each. Site visits are a critical part of our funding process, where members and staff go out into the region to meet face-to-face with organizations that have made it into the final round of our grant cycle. Each site visit will be led by a member of the Three-Year Grants Committee. Please don't miss this chance to meet with passionate, inspiring, and committed social justice groups-and to help our grant committee members make final funding decisions in April!

Our goal is to have all site visits scheduled by March 10th. To sign up for a site visit, go to our online site visit calendar after March 10th and follow the directions. You can download our site visitor training, and our travel reimbursement policy from the online calendar site. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Soya Jung Harris, Grants & Program Director at 206-624-4081 ext. 13.
