Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

  • Civic education and voter engagement infrastructure in US schools and communities
  • Higher education and research capacity building in Africa
  • International peace and security: nonproliferation, China, Middle East, Russia
  • K-12 school design, science curriculum (OpenSciEd), and teacher practice
  • Immigrant integration: ESL, legal services, naturalization, library programming
  • Journalism and public media on education and democracy

Typical grant

Median grant is $200,000 with the middle half between roughly $100,000 and $300,000. The million-dollar-plus checks go to donor collaboratives (Neo Philanthropy's Four Freedoms and State Infrastructure Funds), national civic education platforms, and flagship African fellowship programs; the $500,000 range covers university-based research centers and single-institution fellowship programs. Giving repeats heavily, with recipients like Middlebury, Columbia, Harvard, and African Population and Health Research Center appearing multiple times, though many awards are explicitly labeled "as a final grant," so multi-year support has a designed endpoint.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

  • core support
  • as a final grant
  • project support
  • early-career
  • civic education
  • doctoral and postdoctoral

Positioning adjacent work

  • Frame research as core support for an existing center or fellowship pipeline, not a one-off study.
  • If Africa-facing, tie to doctoral and early-career academic pipeline building at named partner universities.
  • Ask $500,000 to $900,000 for a university center; reserve seven figures for national coalitions.
  • Connect to civic education or deliberative democracy skills for young people, their most crowded 2024 theme.

Worth knowing: Money concentrates hard in DC and New York, with African institutions (Nairobi, Kampala, Cape Town, Accra, Johannesburg) the main exception. This is relationship-driven, invitation-shaped giving to institutions Carnegie has funded for years, including its own affiliated Carnegie entities, so a cold approach without a program officer connection is unlikely to land.
