Disclaimer
Inan effort to assist small progressive organizations with limited staff time, RESIST has compiled the following
list of criminal justice funders and resources. Some of the following organizations are progressive foundations,
others are more mainstream; some seek out criminal justice-related projects, others are willing to support
criminal justice reform as a vehicle to address their other interests. This list is not exhaustive, nor is it an
endorsement of any sort. Contact the resources here directly for further information on their grant-making
interests and restrictions.
