Social Justice Sponsorship Fund

About SJSF

The Social Justice Sponsorship Fund (SJSF) enables ESC to support even more nonprofits and social justice missions by further reducing financial barriers to accessing our programs and services. In 2020, through the generosity of some of our dearest contributors, we were able to raise seed funds to launch the SJSF. ESC continues to replenish this fund thanks to generous supporters like you.

The SJSF provides sponsorship funds to nonprofits whose mission, or an element of their programming, is intended to improve the lives of black and brown people impacted by systemic racism.

We provide sponsorship funds to support leaders that are Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) —either individually, in a customized cohort or in an existing institute.

All sponsorships made through the SJSF are privately funded and will partially offset the cost of an ESC program or service for a qualifying nonprofit.

The SJSF offers assistance to nonprofits who would otherwise be unable to afford our high-quality training and consulting. It furthers our commitment to access, equity, inclusion, and impact to ensure all nonprofits and communities have the opportunity to thrive.

The social Justice Sponsorship Fund Allowed me to work with ESC. This is something our organization would not be able to afford otherwise.
