Defending the Dream

The Hill-Snowdon Foundation is a social justice foundation that at its core believes in the leadership of low income communities of color as primary actors to reinvigorate our democracy and create a fairer and more just society overall.

As the nation welcomes a new Administration and a new decade, the Defending the Dream Fund has decided to pause our grantmaking at this time. We have been honored to support many grassroots organizations throughout the U.S. who helped defend and protect vulnerable communities and fight for social and economic justice. We are very proud of the amazing accomplishments of all our grantee partners, all achieved under extremely challenging conditions. We realize that there remains a lot to do to revoke and repair the tremendous harm caused by the previous Administration’s policies and practices.

We’d like to thank all those who helped us ensure the success of the Defending the Dream Fund – all our philanthropic partners, past and present, the dedicated and extremely responsive staff at JustFund and Amalgamated Foundations, and most of all, the many organizations who applied and worked with us.  It was a privilege to partner with you all.
