Mission + Vision
Our mission at The Just Trust is to ensure that the next chapter of justice reform in America is nimble, adaptable, well-funded, and able to make progress through the pendulum of politics and culture. By connecting diverse groups of donors with smart investments at the local, state and national level, we can help steward a generations-long effort for justice and safety into the lasting solutions communities want and deserve.
TJT’s vision is to transform the justice system into a fair and just engine that fosters public safety for all because we envision safe, thriving communities in every corner of the country, strengthened by the existence of a much smaller, more humane justice system that prevents crime, centers safety, and fosters real accountability, rehabilitation, and healing.
