Empowering Change Through Technology

The Social Impact Grant is part of Thomson Reuters’ broader commitment to social responsibility, particularly in advancing justice, transparency, and equity. The Thomson Reuters Social Impact Institute is dedicated to supporting organizations making a tangible difference in the world, and we are honored to be included. 

This grant builds on a growing strategic relationship with Thomson Reuters. Earlier this year, Thomson Reuters featured JTA in its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report, where we were recognized for our innovative approaches to advancing justice through technology, and an Institute case study.  

Thank you to Thomson Reuters for their generosity and belief in our mission, and for their continued dedication to social impact and justice. Together, we are creating a more just and equitable world through technology.
