A publication of Justice & Power CollectiveHow the Collective decides what to fund
Member organizations propose the work. JPC weighs it and puts money, fundraising, and advocacy behind it. Here is how that process runs.
Justice & Power Collective is built on a simple idea: the people closest to a problem should lead the solution, and they should not have to do it without resources.
That idea shapes how money moves through the coalition. Funding decisions start with member organizations, not with staff.
Three steps
- Members propose. Member organizations submit initiatives that fit JPC’s mission.
- JPC evaluates. Proposals are reviewed for alignment, potential impact, and strategic priority.
- The Collective backs it. Support can take the form of direct funding, a dedicated fundraising campaign, coordinated advocacy, or a mix of the three.
What gets priority
JPC looks for work that:
- addresses systemic inequities,
- strengthens community stability and safety,
- elevates the voices of the people most affected, and
- builds change that lasts.
The AAACT campaign is one example of the model in practice. The Collective is raising money to send advocates to Washington to press Congress on immigration legislation. Read our report on that campaign.
Getting involved
Grassroots organizations can apply for membership. Members can submit a funding request. Individuals can join as members or donate.
