The Jessie Smith Noyes Foundation is a philanthropic organization that supports grassroots groups and movements in the United States, aiming to influence environmental, social, economic, and political conditions toward a more just, equitable, and sustainable society. It emphasizes the strategic use of donor advised funds to advance social justice by guiding donors toward vetted nonprofit partners and providing grantmaking expertise and technical assistance without charging for its advisory services. Based in New York City, the foundation focuses its funding on Environmental Justice, Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems, Reproductive Rights, and an environmentally sustainable New York City, with a particular emphasis on including a significant share of organizations led by people of color. The foundation has a long-standing history of addressing societal issues and offers guidance to donors seeking to align their giving with these priorities. A recent development noted in industry coverage is the launch of a program focused on reducing dissonance between grantmaking goals and investment outcomes, reflecting ongoing efforts to align its activities with its mission.
