Tzedek Social Justice Fund:

Making Change Through Social Justice Philanthropy

The Tzedek Social Justice Fund supports vital social justice organizations and leaders working in the areas of  LGBTQ Justice, Racial Justice, and Dismantling Antisemitism.

Rooted in Social Justice

While not religious, Tzedek’s work is grounded in Jewish social justice values. These include justice (Tzedek), equitable giving (Tzedakah), repairing the world through social action (Tikkun Olam), and leadership (Hanhagah). These values call us to action.
