Mary’s Pence Grantees Are

WOMEN LED —

for the benefit of cis women, trans women, non-binary people and their families.

COMMUNITY CENTERED —

emerging from a need identified within the community, and collaboratively developed by members of the community, flexible enough to meet new, changing or emerging needs.

Working to enact long term sustainable change at the community level —

shifting public opinion about justice issues; forming alliances and collaborations across diverse populations; creating change in unjust structure or policies; or building capacity by building leadership, organizing or other social justice skills.

Focused on social justice actions —

human dignity, the common good, the right to economic security and dignified work, care for the earth, participation, subsidiarity (decisions are made at the most local level possible and involve those most impacted) and nonviolence.
