The Sillerman Center: Informing and advancing social justice philanthropy
In a world where traditional philanthropy often prioritizes the interests of the wealthy, Social Justice Philanthropy is emerging as a more meaningful and equitable approach. This movement is transforming traditional giving by addressing root causes of social issues and empowering those most affected to create lasting, systemic change. Join the Sillerman Center as we challenge the status quo and share best practices in Social Justice Philanthropy. Together, we can reimagine philanthropy to ensure it works for all.
At the Sillerman Center:
- We create accessible publications that guide funding in social justice areas and explore just, socially responsible philanthropic practice.
- We design and host free educational programming, webinars, strategy sessions and other gatherings for funders, their advisors and nonprofit leaders.
- We teach courses, fund fellowships, mentor students and host guest speakers for the Heller-Brandeis community.
- We collaborate with numerous community-based groups, university-based philanthropy centers, social justice funders and national networks to build strategy, co-sponsor events and long-term projects and to support and learn from each other’s work.
