What is Social Justice Philanthropy?
‘Social justice philanthropy is the granting of philanthropic contributions to [non-governmental] organizations … that work for structural change in order to increase the opportunity of those who are least well off politically, economically, and socially.’ -2005 Foundation Center, Social Justice Grantmaking: a report on foundation trends
It is also in place so that people who are more well-off can use their resources in order to aid others who are not as well-off. Philanthropy is a beautiful thing that shows the true decency in the populace--it is an acknowledgment of privilege and utilizing it to better the world.
