Key takeaways

The Krupp Family Foundation funds social and racial justice work, so it fits best with frontline grassroots groups led by those most affected, Jewish grassroots groups working in allyship, movement infrastructure organisations, and inside game organisations that work to protect rights and advocate for policy change.
Its partners include 501(c)(3) organisations and fiscally sponsored groups, and its filing gives its priority geographic focus as Massachusetts and Los Angeles.
Because it does not accept unsolicited requests, an organisation should not send a cold application; the foundation builds relationships with local and national movement groups first and then invites applications through JustFund.
About 8 in 10 of its 136 grants fall between $5,500 and $150,000, half were $25,000 or less, and the largest was $360,000, so a modest request fits well.
In its latest filing, 79% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in an earlier filing, so a relationship with the foundation matters.
