Based on grants this organization reported to the IRS for tax years 2021–2024. This is what they filed, not a complete record of their giving, and recent years may be incomplete because filings lag.

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

Criminal justice reform, especially the Safety and Justice Challenge jail-reduction network
Climate mitigation: methane, clean energy state policy, just transition funds
Local news and accountability journalism, US and Nigeria
Chicago civic infrastructure, arts, immigration, violence prevention
Democracy, elections, voting access, and civic participation groups
Homelessness, housing instability, and Indigenous-led land and rights work

Typical grant

Median grant is $100,000 and half of all grants fall between $3,000 and $250,000, so the bulk of the file is small and mid-sized. The seven-figure checks go to intermediaries and coordinating bodies inside named initiatives: Community Solutions at $21 million on homelessness, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors at $10 million on AI governance, CUNY Research Foundation at $6.5 million and $4.5 million for Safety and Justice Challenge data and research. Repeat giving is heavy, with Field Foundation of Illinois, Chicago Community Foundation, New Venture Fund, and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors each appearing multiple times in a single year.

Their words

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

“AS PART OF THE SAFETY AND JUSTICE CHALLENGE”
“IN SUPPORT OF GENERAL OPERATIONS”
“ADDRESS RACIAL AND ETHNIC DISPARITIES”
“TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE”
“LOCAL NEWS ORGANIZATIONS”
“FOR FLEXIBLE SUPPORT”

Positioning adjacent work

Tie criminal justice work explicitly to reducing unnecessary jail use and racial and ethnic disparities in local jurisdictions.
Frame research as data, coordination, or technical assistance serving a jurisdiction network, not a standalone academic study.
Ask $250,000 to $1 million for a defined project; reserve multimillion asks for coordinating an existing initiative.
Climate proposals should target state and subnational policy advocacy or methane, not general environmental research.

Worth knowing: Illinois recipients outnumber all others nearly four to one, and DC and NY absorb most of the large national checks, so a Chicago tie or a national intermediary role matters. A large share of the money flows through fiscal sponsors and pooled funds like New Venture Fund, Windward Fund, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, and Chicago Community Foundation, which signals long relationships rather than fresh entry points.
