Who We Are
Mission: To support community-based efforts that promote social, racial, and economic justice, empowering marginalized individuals and communities to create lasting, systemic change.
The Social Justice Fund for Ventura County is a nonprofit organization committed to addressing inequality and promoting fairness across the county. By supporting grassroots organizations and community leaders, the fund aims to advance social, racial, and economic justice through advocacy, education, and systemic change. The organization focuses on empowering marginalized communities and fostering long-term solutions for a more equitable society.
What We Do
Since our founding in 2004 the Social Justice Fund for Ventura County has been fortunate to work with thousands of donors, community stakeholders, and organizations working on the front lines for social justice. We have learned that in order to truly create systemic change we must support efforts focused on the following:
- Educating and building awareness about the prevailing issues in social justice and training on best practices to overcome them.
- Convening stakeholders and providing a platform to magnify the impact of those leading the charge in the social change movement
- Grantmaking to grassroots organizations for strategic support and fostering deeper connections between donors and practitioners
