What JustFund is
JustFund is a web-based grantmaking platform for funders and nonprofits seeking values-aligned funding. Its process uses the JustFund Common Application, and each grant cycle can include up to three optional questions and three attachments. Funders can review submissions with collaboration tools, scoring, and team review features. The platform also offers a searchable database of more than 22,000 organization profiles, with dozens of filters, and lets funders see what other funders support and coordinate opportunities. Real-time impact data and analytics are available, along with a service for distributing grant funds. Listed capabilities include advanced review workflow and reporting and compliance, basic application intake and award management, and a full grantee portal. The Core, Core+, and Core+Wallet plans have pricing on request; there is no free plan. Support includes phone, email, chat, a knowledge base, and applicant onboarding. JustFund says it uses TLS 1.2 in transit, AES-256 at rest, role-based access controls, and security monitoring. It backs up data daily and lists an 8-hour Recovery Time Objective and 24-hour Recovery Point Objective. JustFund says it is a 501(c)(3) public charity founded in 2017.
