Impact Fund Grants Support Indigenous Rights, Students’ Civil Rights, and Environmental Justice
During the Impact Fund’s winter and spring grantmaking cycles, we granted a total of $315,000 to support impact litigation brought by communities challenging systemic injustice across a wide range of issue areas. Our new grantees are doing incredible work across North America to advance Indigenous land rights, protect transgender students, challenge segregation in public schools, advocate for climate action, and more. We are so excited to be able to support these important cases.
Impact Fund Fall Grants of $150K Support Impact Litigation for Communities Seeking Justice
As many in our community anticipate the challenges of the months and years ahead, we are grateful that we have impact litigation as a tool to push back against injustice and seek accountability for harmful practices. Our newest grantees are doing amazing work on behalf of incarcerated people, immigrant detainees, agricultural workers, rural communities, and people of color. In our fall grantmaking cycle, we granted $150,000 to support seven impact lawsuits challenging injustice across the country. We are excited to share their inspiring stories.
