‘Social justice’ or ‘social change’ philanthropy is defined as that which focuses on the root causes of injustice and inequity with a view to effecting structural or systemic change.[1] This Special Issue of Giving invites contributions focusing on philanthropic endeavors that move beyond supporting charities and social institutions to play a role in advancing social causes, policy initiatives and political movements. In this sense ‘social justice’ / ‘social change’ philanthropy moves beyond the ‘charitable’ in that it addresses the causes rather than the symptoms of injustice or inequity.[2]
