Our mission is to support grassroots community organizations in the rural South seeking racial, economic, and environmental justice by providing them with financial resources, technical assistance and training, and access to systems of information and power.
OUR PRIMARY FOCUS AREAS
The fundamental constitutional protections of due process and equal protection embodied in our Constitution and Bill of Rights apply to every person, regardless of immigration status. Join us in supporting the rights of all immigrants by learning how we can help protect them.
We have the freedom to choose our leaders and engage on the issues that we care about. That means we can build power in our communities and create real change. Our right to vote gives us that power, so long as we protect it from those that wish to silence us. As the largest and most diverse generation in American history, we have the strength to defend our voices and our votes. Will you join us?
We are fighting to give learners at all levels the opportunity to shape their education. Our goal for education reform is to ensure that we create every opportunity possible to expose learners at all levels, from K through Career, to the best innovations America can provide, a goal we know from our history is boundless.
Climate change and the increasing frequency and severity of environmental disasters poses an alarming threat to human life, dignity, and economic development in the rural South. With the worst effects of climate change continuing to wreak havoc on the lower-income rural communities we serve, environmental justice was added as SPF’s fourth major initiative in 2024.
IMPACT
Democratic philanthropy is a critical element in Southern Partners Fund’s vision. We strive to incorporate the voices of our grantees, membership, and other grassroots organizations throughout the rural South. Promoting self-determination is highly valued in the organization’s decision-making process. We involve those affected by the issues at hand in community-based problem-solving.
