Social Justice Funders Group
A place for funders to work together to maximise impact
The Social Justice Funders Group creates a community for all funders committed to creating a more just society to come together to share what works and explore how legal advice can amplify every pound invested in social change.
We’re united by the understanding that legal advice isn’t separate from social justice work, it’s essential to making it effective and sustainable.
When funders coordinate their support for legal advice services, communities get consistent, comprehensive support that addresses their real needs.
Join the group
Connect with other funders who are integrating legal support into their social justice work, share insights, and learn from collective experience.
Why join us
“We’ve seen housing campaigns succeed because multiple funders supported both community organising and legal advice. We’ve watched immigration communities thrive when collaborative funding provided both settlement support and specialist legal guidance. We’ve supported disability advocacy that changed policy because funders backed both grassroots activism and strategic legal challenges.”
Get insights from funders who’ve successfully integrated legal advice into their social justice work. Hear about approaches that delivered real impact, challenges that taught valuable lessons, and emerging opportunities that could strengthen your strategy.
Your experiences, both successes and challenges, help other funders make better decisions. We create space for honest conversations about what works in grant making, where we’ve hit obstacles, and how we’ve found solutions.
Find partners for joint funding initiatives that tackle shared priorities. Whether you’re focused on housing justice, immigration support, disability rights, or any other area of social change, connect with funders who share your vision and can multiply your impact.
No one benefits when funders work in isolation. Our updates keep you connected to developments across the field, help you avoid duplication, and reveal gaps where your funding could make the biggest difference.
What we do together
We meet quarterly and use these meetings to:
- Dive deep into key issues affecting the communities you fund, with insights from advice providers who see the challenges first hand.
- Explore best practice around designing, managing, and evaluating advice funding that creates real change.
- Identify opportunities for coordinated activity where our shared interests can create bigger impact.
