Ideal Applicant
A community-based or advocacy organization running civic participation, voter education, enrollment, or outreach programs that can deliver event-based or enrollment outcomes and partner under MOUs or subgrant agreements.
Good Fit
- • Operates voter mobilization, civic engagement, enrollment, or community outreach programs.
- • Capacity to run events or campaigns (e.g., Party at the Polls, enrollment drives) and to execute MOUs or subagreements.
- • Project budgets in the typical observed range (~$10K–$60K) and ability to report program outcomes.
- • Located in or serving states that appear often in the portfolio (for example NC, GA, PA, MI, DC).
Geography
The latest observed grants reached 18 states, the foundation is based in DC but about 90% of dollars went out of state, and the largest single-state share was roughly 14%, indicating a multi-state/national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The most recent year shows 93 distinct recipients (many independent) with only seven repeat recipients across the observed years, so the portfolio is broad in institutional variety for the funder's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence from the latest year shows 86 new recipients (about 92% new), which strongly suggests unfamiliar organizations can enter the portfolio despite the absence of formal application guidelines on the website.
