The UPLift with Tzedek: Real Talk for Real Change
Welcome to The UPlift - Real Talk for Real Change! We're here to build authentic community relationships and help fuel social transformation in Asheville, NC, believing collective liberation is not only possible but probable as we share, listen, and learn together.
The Tzedek Social Justice Fund is a social justice philanthropy fund that redistributes money, resources, and power to support systems change and community healing in Asheville, North Carolina. Through adaptive, trust-based philanthropy, we resist oppressive systems and work to transform our collective home into a place where everyone flourishes. We fund mission-aligned work centering LGBTQ Justice, Racial Justice, and/or Dismantling Antisemitism; this means we give money to organizations and individuals invested in creating a more fair, equitable, and flourishing society.
We dream of a thriving Asheville where everyone's needs are abundantly met - where everyone is safe, respected, and celebrated. We believe that a community rooted in joy and love is possible - that is, if we can connect and build our shared vision on the value that liberation is for all.
Sound good to you? We hope so!
Let's be real. Let's go deep. Let's get liberated.

Breaking the Cycle - It's Not Rocket Science; It's Rockefeller
For Tzedek, the Brilliance Awards are one way to UPLift the UPLifters! Tzedek Brilliance Awards honor Asheville leaders who have engaged in impactful, intersectional efforts to further racial justice and LGBTQ equality or to combat antisemitism.
Listen in as our past Brilliance Award winners Marta Ligia Alcalá and Philip Cooper join in to speak truth and share experience. We're talking wealth generation and exploring how grantmaking to individuals serves Tzedek's mission to redistribute wealth in Asheville.
We'll see you same time, same place next month. Until then, peace.
