LGBTQ+ Equality

We envision a U.S. South where LGBTQ+ people can safely and authentically pursue full lives, free of discrimination, inequality, and structural racism.

Higher Education in Prison

We envision a U.S. South where all people are liberated from the inter-generational harm of structural racism and mass incarceration

STORIES FROM OUR COMMUNITY

We are a progressive family foundation rooted
in the South and committed to justice.

We are helping build a world where everyone, especially those pushed to the margins, is liberated from intergenerational harm, living in balance with the earth, and included equally and fully as a part of our human family.

About us

We redistribute resources to repair, rehumanize, and
transform relationships, institutions, and systems.

Our grantees are building collective power to advance justice across the South. In addition to our grantmaking, we advance their work to address broken systems by serving as a connector and organizer to enhance collaboration and collective action. 

We currently have 91 grantee partners in 10 states throughout the U.S. South.
