CS Fund is launching a new funding program on Just Transitions to advance social and ecological justice for a future grounded in justice, joy, belonging, and liberation for all beings. We are inspired by movement leaders in environmental justice, worker justice, climate justice, Indigenous Sovereignty, Black Liberation and more in their collective framing of Just Transition: “Transition is inevitable. Justice is not.” After hundreds of conversations with movement leaders, frontline organizations, and other funding allies around the globe, the message that CS Fund repeatedly received regarding how we can support work toward Just Transitions is to resource the building of translocal and transnational connective tissue and relationship between and across movement sectors and cultures. See the Request for Proposals (RFP) below for more details on eligibility, movement sectors, and geographic focus. Applications will open January 4, 2023.

Eligibility:

• Non-profit public charity or a fiscally sponsored project based in the US or internationally
• Place-based work in one or multiple of the following geographic regions: Central America
  and the Caribbean, South Asia, the United States, and West Africa
• Work centers social and ecological justice
• Have an explicit anti-racist and/or anti-casteist focus, and actively work to protect and
  build power for cultures and identities that are historically marginalized in your region
• Your organization is directly accountable to communities where you work, with active
  feedback to allow for critique, learning, and adaptation of your work
