Social+Justice+Fund

The Social Justice Fund provides grants of $100-$900 for campus activism, social justice projects, or community organizing. We are particularly excited to fund students or campus groups doing work at the Tufts campus, but we are not limited to that and are always excited to hear about new ideas and initiatives. For questions, email socialjusticefund@gmail.com

Make a donation to [|Tufts] and in additional comments about the gift specify 'Social Justice Fund' as the intended allocation. Please send us an email to let us know that you have donated!
 * For Donors:**


 * For Grant-Seekers:**

The Social Justice Fund provides grants of $100-$900 for campus activism, social justice projects, or community organizing, with a focus on projects that impact both the Tufts campus and the larger community. We welcome proposals detailing creative new approaches, ideas, and initiatives. However, in order to make the most of limited resources, the Social Justice Fund targets funding to those proposals that have an explicit social justice focus and are action, rather than research, oriented. At this time, we are unable to fund expenses associated with travel. Please submit your application to sjf@tuftsprogressives.org.

Those receiving awards of $500 or more will be required to fill out a one-page report at the completion of the project. To keep the Social Justice Fund going for future Tufts activists, grantees will be asked to support the Fund later on as alumni. Seniors may not apply for activities occurring after graduation. For more information on how the Social Justice Fund makes its decisions, please consult the.


 * Application:**

To apply, email your completed application to sjf@tuftsprogressives.org.

Deadlines: February 15, & October 15. We will consider urgent applications at other times of the year on a case by case basis.
