Social Justice Fund for Ventura County — GivingTuesday 2023

In our most recent cohort of our Fellowship program, the Social Justice Fund was able to fund seven Fellows – the most in the history of the Social Justice Fellowship program! Thanks to your donations, our Fellows have been able to track data on the clean up efforts of Oxnard beaches, create a new youth-led conservation program in Fillmore, and hold community events for disabled individuals in Ventura County. Additionally, thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we have made significant strides toward our fundraising goal of 100k. Your commitment to empowering social justice leaders has played a vital role in our success so far.

As we enter the final phase of our campaign, we have a remaining amount of

$15,000

to meet our target.

This GivingTuesday, we are reaching out to you to ask for a contribution – no matter the size – to help us successfully accomplish this last leg of our fundraising journey.

The impact of reaching our goal is immeasurable. Our Fellows receive training to help them build their skills in project management and community organizing as well as one-on-one mentorship to help them troubleshoot and map out their own strategies for success. With this level of support, our Fellows learn to develop their own skills while reimagining and transforming the conditions that create injustice. Your support of SJFVC plays a key role in making a lasting difference in the lives of emerging social justice leaders and the communities they come from.

We understand that everyone’s capacity to contribute varies, and we are grateful for your ongoing commitment to SJFVC. Thank you once again for your support and we look forward to celebrating the success of this campaign together!

Sincerely,

Kathryn Kinberg, SJFVC Program Manager

Michael Teasdale, SJFVC Chair
