About: - The Libra Foundation is an independent private family foundation founded in 2002 that advances racial, gender, and environmental justice by channeling multi-year, unrestricted general operating support to grassroots organizations. Grounded in principles of trust-based philanthropy, the foundation centers frontline movement-building led by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. Its grantmaking strategy focuses on three core program areas: Community Safety & Justice (advancing abolitionist, decarceral, and transformational justice frameworks), Environmental & Climate Justice (anchored in Just Transition principles), and Gender Justice (supporting self-determination and equity for women, girls, queer, and trans communities). Additionally, The Libra Foundation co-founded and anchors initiatives like the Democracy Frontlines Fund to organize peer grantmakers to move resources directly to frontline social justice movements.
