FAITH-BASED
NON-PROFITS
SJDI supports a large group of diverse, faith-based nonprofits who serve the community in accord with their faith tradition. Motivated by religious principles and often within long-standing institutions, these nonprofits serve the poor, educate students, and promote a just and equitable society.
We understand the unique needs of faith-based nonprofits and the institutions and traditions they serve within. We proudly assist large and small Dioceses’ Catholic Schools (especially those serving lower-income families), religious orders, and youth and young adult ministries.
COMMUNITY-BASED
NON-PROFITS
SJDI serves community-based nonprofits across the United States who creatively address the social needs of their communities. Motivated by civic principles and specific causes, community-based nonprofits serve the common good by filling gaps or complementing municipal services.
We have experience with large, complex, social-serving organizations addressing multiple social issues, as well as small organizations who focus on single issues such as education, immigration, affordable housing, job training, and small business development.
FOUNDATIONS
SJDI assists foundations in selecting and vetting worthy grant recipients. We also help recipients strengthen their operations and strategic orientation in preparation for and execution of the foundation’s grant.
We understand the complexities of managing philanthropic funds and using them for transformational change in the community.
SMALL BUSINESSES
SJDI works with foundations and community partners to assist small businesses in becoming more profitable and ultimately more sustainable and resilient.
When shutdowns disproportionately impacted Latino business owners during the early days of the pandemic, we teamed up with Raza Development Fund and VeraCruz Advisory to meet this urgent need. Together, we provided seminars and assistance for businesses to access PPP loans and EIDL funds.
