The SJF Committee

--- Hello Tufts Progressive Alumni,

We are writing today with an exciting update. As you may know, the Social Justice Fund (SJF) is an alumni-led fund whose aim is to support social justice activism on the Tufts campus. For over 10 years, SJF has provided funding for progressive issues and activities such as Radix, Justice for Janitors, the Tufts Social Justice Arts Initiative, and much more. By funding a few projects every year, we help keep the progressive voice alive at Tufts. We help students pursue their passions and make important changes at Tufts and in the community. The work students do on campus shapes who they become, and we have seen our grantees graduate and go on to do powerful, world-changing things.

Today, we have the opportunity to continue the legacy of the Social Justice Fund. One of our generous alumni has donated $500, and will match $1,000 that we raise. This is HUGE for the Social Justice Fund. Without this, we would have been closing our fund in the next couple years. But, with this generous challenge, we will be able to revitalize the fund and make sure that we support future Tufts activism in this crucial way. Many of you have been supported by the Social Justice Fund, and we asked at that time for you to give back to the fund in the future. That time is now.

Please go to [] and make a generous donation today. We need your help!

Thank you, Cindy Chang (LA'03), Eva Skillicorn (LA'06) and the SJF committee


 * Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)**
 * Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)**

Your donation to the Social Justice Fund is held temporarily in a Paypal account, and then will be transferred over to the Trustees of Tufts University. The Social Justice Fund is a separate account at Tufts but is managed with the Tufts endowment.
 * Where is my SJF donation being held?**

You can make sure by either donating through the [|Chipin page] or specifying "Social Justice Fund" if you write a check directly to Tufts. Our faculty contact, Gary Goldstein, receives a report on SJF funds and administers the grant checks.
 * How can I make sure my donation is being used for the Social Justice Fund?**

Good question! Well, first we have this amazing opportunity right now to match your gift, but the only way we can do this is if you donate to our [|Chipin page]. Second, donating to the Social Justice Fund will ensure that your donations are going to the truly progressive issues you care about (and cared about when you were on campus), and not to the potentially un-progressive whims of the Dean or other administration.
 * Why should I donate to the Social Justice Fund and not just to Tufts?**

We would love more alumni on our grantmaking committee, and want to hear from you! Please contact socialjusticefund@gmail.com to learn more!
 * I want to get more involved in the SJF grantmaking process. How do I do that?**
