Our News & Perspectives
The St. Joseph Fund (SJF) is a mission-driven grantmaking organization rooted in love. We collaborate with values-driven partners to build healing-centered capacity that advances community power building, equity, and systems change. Together, with our partners, we center healing and justice and build positive community impact.
Celebrate our collective wisdom, share our partners’ successes, and strategize for the future. Our blog shares how we nurture healing-centered capacity building through a collective care lens, uplifting the well-being of community leaders while advancing a less extractive philanthropy, honoring community practices, and staying curious about new ideas and opportunities.
