What is Social Justice Philanthropy?
Social justice philanthropy is a sector of the philanthropic world that is dedicated toward ensuring equal rights for all and generating justice for those who were treated wrongly.
‘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.
