Tzedek Grantee Community

Good vibes incoming! This month, we brought the mics to the Tzedek Connect table, digging into how our pasts impact who we are and how we show up in our social justice work today. Featuring voices from various backgrounds, these beautiful reflections illuminate the diverse paths that have led us to this moment. From favorite foods to family values, from "otherness" to overcoming, these childhood fragments influence our social change strategies and selves (whether we like it or not).

Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to our incredible grantees for sharing their stories and compassion in pursuit of genuine connection. In a philanthropic landscape where trust can be as scarce as it is vital, this openness is truly a gift to Tzedek and to community. 

Collectively, these conversations circle back to humanizing the philanthropy experience on all sides. The takeaway? Diversity crafts a richer, more inclusive path toward social justice. Keep lifting each other up and showing up — it's how we rise together! True story.


We'll see you same time, same place next month. Until then, peace.
