The General Fund Grants by Seeding Justice aim to support grassroots organizations in Oregon that work towards systemic change by addressing the root causes of injustice. These grants focus on organizations that use community organizing, leadership development, base building, policy advocacy, among other strategies, to build collective power. The funds support efforts that are explicitly anti-racist, anti-oppression, and intersectional, and prioritize leadership from impacted communities. Grants can be used for general operating support or specific projects, typically for one year, with occasional multi-year funding for exceptional projects. Two types of grants are offered: Operating Support Grants for general expenses and Project Support Grants for specific projects or fiscally sponsored groups.
