Mission
To create a more just and equitable region by challenging unjust systems, building pathways for connectedness and equitable opportunities, and fostering a community of passionate changemakers. We’re grateful for your support in helping us achieve this vision.
Begin to Build a Relationship
We know you care about where your money goes and how it is used. Connect with this organization’s leadership in order to begin to build this important relationship. Your email will be sent directly to this organization’s director of development and/or Executive Director.
I’ve been an SJPLA Partner since 2012, and for the last five years I’m proud to have also served as a Board Member. One of the reasons why I come back every year and dedicate time and resources to SJPLA is that I truly believe that if we create more spaces like this – everything will be better. SJPLA’s community is magic, and their leaders have ideas that will change the world.
Become a Partner in Social Justice Reform
Addressing our most pressing challenges requires deep, sustained investment and the participation of all of our devoted community. Social Justice Partners Los Angeles (SJPLA) tackles the underlying causes of Los Angeles’ most critical challenges, such as homelessness, mass incarceration, and economic inequity. SJPLA is raising $4 million to provide multi-year grants for 25-30 nonprofits over three years, complemented by trainings, peer-learning, and relationship-building.
As a donor, you become a member of SJPLA’s thriving Partner community. Your single gift joins SJPLA’s pooled fund of resources from individuals, foundations, and corporations, and supports a portfolio of community-selected nonprofits. Partners further their donation by contributing their time, skills, and networks to support grantees’ development.
Sharon Stratton, Partnerships Manager, says her dream is for SJPLA to serve as a “home” and living laboratory for those seeking to practice new ways of showing up as partners in social transformation.
Join SJPLA to create a new world and invest in bringing it to life.
