Increasingly, funders who consider themselves “progressive” are leaning into social justice frameworks in their grantmaking. But what does that mean, and how can foundations adopt social justice philanthropy practices more intentionally?

Social Justice Philanthropy is catching up. Here is a very thoughtful and impressive “Putting Equity First” strategic framework (https://lnkd.in/eHqquVKK ) by The Funders Network (https://lnkd.in/eyk5QGFH) – a robust network of more than 170 foundations as well as state, regional and national funders.
