About Bread & Roses Community Fund

Bread & Roses Community Fund is a social justice fund and the Philadelphia region’s leading funder of grassroots organizing for racial, gender, and economic justice. Our slogan is, “change, not charity,” and our goal is radical transformation of society. Since 1977, we have been connecting donors and community organizers to move money to grassroots organizations creating real change. We also provide training to support movements for change, and work to build community across differences of race, class, and gender. Each year we raise every dollar that we give out in grants, and community members decide where that money goes.
