Since 2013, Janji has been exploring ways to use running as a force for good.

Janji Grants is the next step forward, a giveback program reinforcing our commitment to inspire wonder through movement, for all.

Each month Janji will award a grant to a grassroots organisation building community, reducing barriers to participation, and welcoming new runners to the sport.

The first recipient will be announced in March 2026. Stay tuned!
