‘Social justice philanthropy’ has been a recurring theme in Alliance – but what does it look like in practice? This was the question raised by some members of the Woburn Place Collaborative (WPC). WPC is a self-selecting, inclusive gathering of foundations in the UK interested in the role of philanthropy in promoting a more just and sustainable society. For some members of WPC, the term ‘social justice’ might be seen by trustees as overly radical, or perhaps just woolly.
