NEEDMOR CO THE NORTHERN TRUST COMPANY
About this foundation
The Needmor Fund for Social Justice funds grassroots, membership-based community organizing and is committed to racial, social, economic, and gender justice. The fund provides general operating support and runs a Core Grants program focused on community organizing. Needmor launched a Midwest Strategy (2019) prioritizing eight Midwestern states and supports groups that are democratically led, engage in direct action, and serve BIPOC or traditionally excluded communities. Needmor also runs named awards (e.g., the Frank I. Sanchez Award) and accepts applications through an online grantmaking system.
