Borealis is a social justice philanthropic intermediary that resources grassroots movements for transformative change. We build bridges between funders and organizers to support movements creating a future that works for all of us.Founded in 2015, Borealis has grown to include nine collaborative funds working to enhance our collective impact within and between movements across the country. From Black-led movement-building, to queer and trans liberation, to disability justice, our work is rooted in the understanding that in order to upend oppressive systems, we must support the people most impacted by those systems.
