Ideal Applicant
Organizations working in social justice, community organizing, advocacy, or economic justice with an operational scale and networks that make them visible to funder staff or nominators.
Good Fit
- • Provides general operating support to advance advocacy or organizing
- • Has track record and visibility within regional or national movement networks
- • Can absorb multi-year unrestricted support and demonstrate organizational capacity
- • Is active in states and issue areas the foundation has recently funded
Geography
Observed grants span roughly 31 states with the large majority of dollars going to out-of-state recipients, showing a national multi-state footprint rather than a narrow local focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows well over 100 distinct grantees (182) and historically hundreds of unique recipients across multiple years, with a mix of sizes and purposes dominated by general operating support and organizing.
New Applicants
The foundation publicly states an invitation-only / preselected process, which limits unsolicited applications, but the observed grant history shows substantial new entrants each year (about 105 new grantees in the latest year), so new organizations can enter the portfolio—likely via nomination, outreach from trusted intermediaries, or direct engagement with staff.
