Philanthropy is changing, as it must. JustFund is the nation's first common grant application platform, built by funders and organizers of color to remove the barriers that keep money from moving where it's needed most. Since 2017, we've helped move $485M+ to nonprofits doing the work, with the majority of funding going to organizations with budgets under $500,000, and 26,000+ nonprofits now on our platform. We believe money should move at the speed of trust, to the organizations closest to the solutions. That means one common application profile instead of dozens, real-time visibility for funders and applicants alike, and infrastructure built for collaboration over competition. 1,100+ funders are already moving with us, pooling resources, sharing due diligence, and giving in ways that reflect their values instead of getting stuck in bureaucracy. We're a 501(c)(3) public charity ourselves, so we're focused on moving money, not making money.
