Social Justice

Introduction

Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life – Nelson Mandela

Social justice is about tackling structural inequality at its roots. It means confronting the deep, systemic and historical injustices that continue to marginalise people, and working to ensure that everyone—regardless of race, gender, class, sexuality, or geography—has equal access to rights, resources, and opportunities.

We believe the most powerful change happens when funders learn and act together. That’s why we bring foundations, intermediaries and partners into spaces where they can share insights and collaborate on solutions. By working collectively, funders can turn their investments into long-term impact that can be transformative for civil society.
