Freedom Together Foundation

The Freedom Together Foundation is a private American foundation, formerly known as The JPB Foundation, that focuses on protecting and expanding multiracial democracy. According to its official website, the foundation believes that protecting and expanding multiracial democracy is the defining challenge of our time and that philanthropy has a crucial role to play in this work. Its stated mission is to support people who have been denied power to build it, so they can change unjust systems and create a more democratic, inclusive, and sustainable society. The foundation's work centers on building a deeper and broader pro-democracy movement, with organizations led by working-class people from diverse backgrounds at the center. This movement aims to challenge structural flaws in the system and forge a truly representative democracy. The foundation describes bringing a deep well of hope to its work, rooted in what oppressed people have achieved throughout history when they come together to advocate for change. The Freedom Together Foundation organizes its grantmaking around several program areas: Community and Worker Power; Democracy, Gender, and Racial Justice; Faith, Bridging, and Belonging; Movement Infrastructure and Explorations; and Reproductive Health, Medical Research, and Community Grants. It publishes news and updates, including a President's Letter series. Deepak Bhargava is President of the Freedom Together Foundation, leading its mission. Before assuming the presidency in February 2024, he spent many years as a foundation grantee and board member, most recently as vice chair of the board. He brings over 30 years of expertise in social justice movements as a leader, campaigner, and strategist. Before becoming Freedom Together's President, he led the grassroots organization Community Change for 16 years, working to strengthen the community organizing field and launch coalitions that won major policy victories on issues such as poverty, health care, and immigration. He also served as a distinguished lecturer at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies and a Senior Fellow at the Roosevelt Institute, and co-founded a new institute at CUNY, Leadership for Democracy and Social Justice, that trains and supports early and mid-career activists. The foundation is headquartered in the United States and operates nationally. It is a private foundation, not a publicly traded company, and its website is freedomtogether.org.
