The Bay Area Justice Funders Network (BAJFN) is pleased to announce the release of our first paper, Funding Movement Building: Bay Area Approaches. The report provides a summary of data collected from our survey of Bay Area Social Justice Philanthropies and highlights three of the most effective strategies BAJFN members use to advance their shared vision of movement building: integrating movement building into grantmaking guidelines and practices; strategically aligned funding; and pooled funding.  Download the report here.
