Highlighting Workers’ Dignity
Our mission is to work for a more equal society by supporting community organizations led by people unjustly relegated to the fringes of social, economic, and political self-determination.
Our Beliefs
We believe in collective action. We believe that community organizing is a powerful way to secure lasting social change because it enables the people most directly affected by injustice to build power and engage in decision-making processes within their own communities. We aim to combat exploitation, abuse, and discrimination by providing grants to community projects that help transform structures of inequality.
The Freya Project
We seek to partner with organizations that share our commitment to fighting intersecting forms of social inequality through non-sectarian, non-violent, community-based organizing.
We Prioritize
Racial Justice
Women's Justice
LGBTQ+ Justice
Immigrant Justice
Economic & Housing Justice
Education Justice
Art for Justice
