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

  • Global homelessness and housing projects regranted through CAF America
  • Community Progress Makers cohort grants to neighborhood economic development groups
  • CDFI and minority depository institution capacity building
  • Youth workforce, tech pathways and entrepreneurship training
  • Financial empowerment, banking access and summer jobs programs
  • Disaster relief and refugee resilience through large national NGOs

Typical grant

The median grant is $300,000, with the middle half between $200,000 and $500,000, and a very heavy cluster of round $400,000 and $500,000 checks. The $500,000 amount is the standard award for a housing or homelessness project abroad; $400,000 is the standard Community Progress Makers award to a US community organization. Seven-figure grants go to field infrastructure and intermediaries such as National Bankers Community Alliance ($3.75M), UNDP ($2M), the African American Alliance of CDFI CEOs ($2M), Urban Institute and Philanthropy New York ($1M each). With 546 grants to 206 recipients over three years, most grantees are funded more than once.

Positioning adjacent work

  • Tie research to the Community Progress Makers Learning Community, the role Urban Institute and Philanthropy New York were paid for
  • Ask $300,000 to $500,000; anything above $1M has gone to field intermediaries, not projects
  • Frame work as capacity building for CDFIs, MDIs or community lenders rather than as study
  • Emphasize youth economic opportunity, tech pathways and measurable placement outcomes over descriptive analysis

Worth knowing: The Virginia concentration is an artifact: Charities Aid Foundation America in Alexandria is the regranting vehicle for dozens of identical $500,000 international homelessness and housing awards, so the real geography is global plus Citi's US footprint cities of New York, Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Miami. Giving is cohort and initiative driven with named programs and standardized amounts, which means entry usually comes through an existing initiative or intermediary rather than a standalone proposal.
