*Study of Foundation Support for Social Justice Grantmaking*
The first study of foundation support for social justice grantmaking found that at the largest foundations in the United States, 11 percent of grant dollars support structural changes aiding those who are least well-off economically, socially and politically. According to “Social Justice Grantmaking: A Report on Foundation Trends”, support spans all areas of foundation activity, from promoting economic development in distressed areas to ensuring access to healthcare for disadvantaged populations to encouraging diversity in education.
