Social Justice Fund

Social Justice Fund

"Founded in 1978, Social Justice Fund NW (formerly A Territory Resource) is an organization dedicated to addressing the root causes of social, economic, and environmental inequities. Each year, Social Justice Fund NW raises funds from its members and friends, and then grants that money to non-profit social justice organizations in the Northwest and Northern Rockies. Using an extensive, thoughtful process, we annually give over $720,000 to strategic and effective community-based organizations in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming. Our approach allows you to assist many different social change causes with a single contribution backed by the experience and research of our staff and members."
