Democratic Philanthropy

In October 1994, the Bert and Mary Meyer Foundation organized SPF’s founding members who had a vision of instituting social change through a system of democratic philanthropy governed by grassroots community leaders. The 18 grassroots organizers and leaders who crafted SPF’s mission, purpose, and structural model recognized how historical and institutionalized discrimination systemically oppressed their communities. After four years of convening and dialogue between BAMMF and southern organizers, Southern Partners Fund was formally incorporated in 1998.

SPF Core Beliefs and Values
SPF also believe that the individuals and organizations that must be centrally engaged in uprooting and overturning these injustices are too often absent from the forums in which important decisions are made. These same individuals and organizations are often left out of the ‘solutions’ that are crafted by many foundations, think-tanks, and government agencies.
