Annex C: Principles of social justice

  1. Access to resources: refers to the extent to which different socioeconomic groups receive equal access to give everyone an equal start in life.
  1. Equity: how individuals are given tools specific to their needs and socioeconomic status in order to move towards similar outcomes (as distinct from ‘equality’).
  1. Participation: refers to how everyone in society is given a voice and opportunity to verbalise their opinions and concerns and have a role in any decision-making that affects their livelihood and standard of living.
  1. Diversity: countering discrimination on the basis of factors such as race, gender, ethnicity, sex, age, sexual orientation, religion, or disability.
  2. Human rights: one of the most important principles of social justice which form a foundational part of the concept.

Annex E: Social justice grants broken down by thematic issue category

With the caveats listed above in the Methodology and The Data sections, here is the breakdown of the social justice grants in the Funding Justice 3 dataset across thematic issue categories.

These figures are not a reliable indicator of the total philanthropic funding being directed to each issue, much less an indicator of how much civil society capacity there is on each issue (whether funded by philanthropic or other sources). Changes in the composition of the funders in the dataset also make comparisons with earlier years difficult, particularly where climate mitigation is concerned. We include these figures simply to give readers a sense of the blend of grants within the Funding Justice 3 data.
