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

  • CDFI and community lending capital: housing funds, small-business loan funds, Native CDFIs
  • Regrants to other DAF sponsors and intermediaries (NPT, Fidelity, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors)
  • Climate and energy policy funders: Energy Foundation, ClimateWorks, Windward, WRI
  • Education pipeline nonprofits and major research university foundations
  • Youth and family services: Communities In Schools, StriveTogether, YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs
  • Arts institutions, hospitals and cancer centers, religious organizations

Typical grant

Median grant is $25,000 and half of everything falls between $10,175 and $100,000, so this is overwhelmingly a mid-size check operation across 10,756 recipients. The money is extraordinarily top-heavy: a handful of transfers and pooled commitments run $10M to $274M, including $274.1M to National Philanthropic Trust and $101.1M to Blue Meridian, while a $12M+ tier went to roughly fifteen community loan funds in 2024 alone. Repeat giving is common because thousands of individual account holders recommend to the same institutions year after year.

  • ARTS AND CULTURE

Positioning adjacent work

  • This is a donor-advised sponsor. Cultivate individual Goldman account holders and wealth advisors, not the fund itself.
  • Climate work should echo the Energy Foundation, ClimateWorks, WRI, RMI cluster: policy and systems, not local projects.
  • Ask in the $25,000 to $100,000 band from an individual advisor; seven-figure tiers are institutional commitments.
  • Community lending and Native CDFI framing drew the largest non-transfer checks in 2024. Connect there if plausible.

Worth knowing: There is no program staff making these decisions and no proposal path; the fund executes what thousands of separate account holders recommend, so every grant reflects an existing donor relationship. California and New York recipients account for over 6,100 of 19,135 grants, and the very large 2024 CDFI and climate commitments look like coordinated institutional placements rather than something a cold approach reaches.
