Social Justice Fund for Ventura County | "Creating Change, Not Charity"

SJF promotes fairness, equality and human rights. We strengthen social justice by creating change, not charity.
We invest in community organizing – the process of bringing people together and helping them develop their voices, realize their power and collectively act to create real change in their lives and communities.
