Intro:
Originally set up by Atlantic Philanthropies as part of its Human Rights legacy in Northern Ireland, the Social Justice Fund is more than a fund and has a programme element attached. It supports local community groups with projects and initiatives that contribute to peacebuilding, tackle the impact of poverty and austerity measures and/or give voice to excluded groups. Contributing to building a culture of rights within and between communities, particularly those most marginalized from decision making and supporting communities and marginalized groups to find solutions to contentious issues are core elements of this fund alongside the strengthening of local capacity to advocate by building relationships/connections between communities, policymakers, politicians and funders.
