Those investments have sustained many organizations and initiatives across the region. To this day, we continue to be grounded in the belief that those most impacted by injustice are in the best position to know where grant funds will have the biggest impact and create the most change. Our Grantmaking Committee of activist organizers is unique amongst our peer foundations. They granted out $439,000 in 2018-19 and $520,050 in 2017-18, for a total of $959,050 to the groups listed below. We are proud to be in movement with each and every grantee and are thankful for their leadership and work.
