Details:
This year’s SJF Giving Project is focused on Immigration Justice, funding movements led by immigrants, refugees, and migrant workers most affected by an immigration system built to dehumanize the people caught in its cyclical violence. The Giving Project will make grants to support community organizing work that aims to build collective power and undo the overlapping and intersecting systems of oppression and domination, including colonialism, imperialism, anti-Blackness, Islamophobia, ableism, classism, and xenophobia.
This 2025 Immigration Justice Grant seeks to support organizations working to end the systemic discrimination, criminalization, detention, deportation, and harassment of immigrant, refugee, and migrant communities to build a future where borders do not dictate where and how people live, thrive, love, access joy, heal, and make community and family.
Priority Considerations
- Black, Indigenous, and people of color-led organizations (51% or more).
- Organizations conduct most of their work within reservation communities, and/or in rural areas (SJF defines rural as any locations in the five state region outside of the Seattle and Portland metropolitan areas).
Funding Information
$25,000.
Grant Period
1 year.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligible organizations must meet the following criteria:
- Organizations that work within SJF’s community organizing framework
- Nonprofit organizations, tribal agencies, or groups sponsored by a nonprofit organization or tribal agency
- This grant can fund:
- Organizations with 501(c)3 or 501(c)4 status as determined by the IRS
- American Indian/First Nation/Native American tribal government or agency
- Organizations that are fiscally sponsored by 501(c)3 or 501(c)4 organizations or by tribal governments/agencies
- Organizations can apply without a fiscal sponsor but must confirm a fiscal sponsor if awarded a grant;
- This grant can fund:
- Organizations that carry out their work in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and/or Wyoming.
Ineligibility
SJF does NOT fund:
- Individuals, endowment funds or capital campaigns.
- General operating requests from organizations that primarily provide direct services to individuals and families. Direct service organizations can apply for project-specific funds for projects that fit our definition of community organizing.
- Publications, reports, workshops, classes, conferences, media events, arts, theater productions, research, or litigation efforts unless they are part of an ongoing community organizing effort.
- Environmental work unless it is aimed at achieving social justice goals (i.e. undoing environmental racism, cultural resource conservation projects). For example, Social Justice Fund generally does not fund environmental efforts that don’t involve a racial justice analysis, but we do fund community organizing projects addressing environmental threats that disproportionately harm communities of color or low-income communities.
- Projects sponsored primarily by a government agency. For example, the Social Justice Fund would not fund a project led by a public school district. However, we would fund a project led by communities of color that partners with public schools to address the academic achievement gap for students of color. The project must be community-driven and led by those most directly affected by the problem.
