Robusteciendo la Justicia Social Logo

Robusteciendo la Justicia Social (Strengthening Social Justice) is a project supporting long-term sustainability for seven organizations focused on social justice issues related to housing, land use, the environment and civic engagement.

With this and projects like Learning to Listen and Colección de Voces y Datos we continue testing and exploring the evolution of philanthropic practices to include flexible funding, multi-annual grant support, peer learnings, high quality feedback and self-diagnostic tools.

Impact Details

The 3-year project will be divided into the following major components:

Organizational Assessment

Through an organizational mapping tool (OMT) and facilitators’ support, organizations identify and prioritize their strengthening needs in key areas like strategy, leadership, finances, and systems.

Cohort Meetings

Through facilitated sessions, the seven cohort members will meet periodically to share learnings and challenges, and to maximize their individual efforts.

3-year grants

Results from the OMT will allow cohort participants to define areas of improvement and development, and the budget needed to achieve their goals.

[Community of Practice] Cohort Meeting Recaps

2021-2024 Cohort

These seven organizations will strengthen their structures while participating of the cohort to find areas of interest that can be leveraged by the collective.
