Social Justice Fund

Our Social Justice Fund currently makes 8 to 10 grants annually of up to $2,000 for grassroots activist projects in the US and around the world, giving priority to those with small budgets and little access to more mainstream funding sources.

Proposals for counter-recruitment projects should be submitted to the Counter Recruitment Fund.

Criteria:

The Muste Institute's Social Justice Fund considers proposals:

for new projects or campaigns, or efforts to expand existing work

for projects with expense budgets under $50,000

for projects which are local, regional, national or global in scope

from groups located anywhere in the world

from grassroots organizations with annual expenses of less than $500,000

from groups with limited or no access to more mainstream funding sources

from groups that may be unincorporated or incorporated

from groups with or without 501(c)3 status or a fiscal sponsor

from groups which have not received Social Justice Grants from us in at least two years

The Social Justice Fund's priority is to support:

direct grassroots activism and organizing

groups with diverse, representative and democratic internal leadership structures

groups which have or can obtain sufficient economic and in-kind support from a diversity of sources to carry out their regular work, but need additional support for a particular project

Although we value the work, we do NOT consider grant proposals for the following:

general support of ongoing operations

individual efforts or scholarships

schools or universities

organizations with significant access to government, corporate or mainstream charitable funding

academic or research projects

art, theater, film or video projects which are not directly tied to activism or organizing

economic development projects

capital campaigns or expenses

direct social services

legal defense or litigation

lobbying or electoral campaigns

projects geared toward participants’ personal improvement or business success

conflict resolution or violence reduction projects, unless they directly promote activism

Application Deadline; October & April.
