Description

The Foundation aims to catalyze a transformative approach to justice that is community-led, restorative, and racially justice. The Foundation supports nonprofits nationwide whose missions are directly related to transforming the criminal and youth justice system in the United States. Grants are awarded in the following categories: 1) organizations developing innovative, transformative approaches to youth and adult criminal justice reform; 2) Black-led movement building focused on dismantling the structures that have caused generations of harm to Black people, building power among local black community members, and advancing efforts to reinvest in communities; 3) organizations focused on investing in community-based solutions that reduce the over-reliance on mass incarceration; and 4) reframing the narrative and fostering greater transparency and urgency around the U.S. criminal justice system through storytelling, journalism, and other media. The Foundation also offers targeted grantmaking for organizations in the jurisdictions of Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, and Oklahoma, as well as Jackson, Miss., Milwaukee, Wis., and Washington, D.C. that address adult and/or youth criminal justice. Additional information and application instructions can be found on the Web site.
