Introduction

Just Futures Inaugural LOI We are thrilled to announce the first round of grantmaking for the newly launched Just Futures Initiative at Borealis Philanthropy. This bold new opportunity builds on Borealis’ longstanding investments in community safety and justice to resource frontline power-building organizations, coalitions, and emergent formations advancing community safety, democracy protection, and belonging in communities most impacted by criminalization. We are investing in strategies that transform the systems that entrap people through criminalization and exclusion. Instructions: Please complete the Just Futures Eligibility Quiz found on the next page. Organizations that meet the eligibility requirements will be granted access to the Letter of Interest (LOI) form.
