Do you enjoy supporting movement organizers, find joy in a well-organized
spreadsheet, and thrive in a collaborative work environment?

Bread & Roses Community Fund is a social justice fund and the Philadelphia
region’s leading funder of grassroots organizing for racial, social, 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 organizers to move money to grassroots organizing for real change. We
also provide training to movements for change, and work to build community
across differences of race and class. Each year we raise every dollar that we
give out in grants, and community members decide where that money goes.
