● Grantmaking is seamless funders and applicants.

The Emergent Fund

“The usual mechanisms of philanthropic funding have been failing social movements and impacted communities for far too long. Way to Win was founded to shift power back to communities and upend philanthropy as usual.

JustFund works seamlessly with our existing teams and allows us to focus on our transformative eﬀorts to advance racial and economic justice.”

Increase Funding Opportunities.

“Having a portal like JustFund rewrites us into history and makes it possible to know what Native peoples are dreaming, planning, and organizing in the 21st Century. Less than 1% of philanthropy is going to Indian Country. Unless there are vehicles like JustFund, we don’t have a space to share the innovative and incredible work going on at the grassroots and tribal level.”
