The Needmor Fund

The Needmor mission is to work with others to bring about social justice. The Needmor Fund supports people who work together to change the social, economic, or political conditions which bar their access to participation in a democratic society. Our work is informed by a vision of justice: We work towards a nation committed to democracy in which all persons are free and equal to determine the actions of government and thus assure their fundamental rights. These rights include justice, political liberty, and the basic necessities of life: food, shelter, safety, access to health care, an education which enables them to be contributing members of society, and the opportunity to secure productive work with just wages, benefits, and working conditions. We seek a society in which all citizens are free to exercise these rights regardless of race, ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability or religious persuasion. We strive especially to engage those whose participation in the affairs of the community has been systemically denied, because we believe our nation will operate most equitably when all of its people are actively involved in crafting the vision, values, and policies that affect their lives.
