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
- Water access, sanitation and watershed resilience, mostly outside the US
- Circular economy and plastic waste collection, recycling, reclaimer integration
- Employee matching gifts routed through American Online Giving Foundation
- Workforce development, youth employment and women-owned small business growth
- Atlanta civic institutions, greenspace and Westside community campaigns
- Disaster relief and anticipatory action after hurricanes, floods, drought
Typical grant
Median grant is $200,000 and the middle half sits between $100,000 and $392,500, so most of the list is in the low six figures. The $1M to $5M checks go almost exclusively to global NGOs and multilaterals running multi-country water or plastics programs: WWF, IUCN, UNDP, Conservation International, the World Bank, Millennium Water Alliance. Repeat funding is the norm at the top; WWF, CARE, Conservation International, Global Water Challenge and the Emergency Assistance Foundation all appear multiple times, and phase two grants are explicitly named in the descriptions.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “circular economy”
- “climate resilience”
- “Workforce Development”
- “Water and Sanitation”
- “Anticipatory Action”
Positioning adjacent work
- Attach adjacent work to their two anchors: plastics circularity or watershed and WASH resilience in a named region.
- Ask $200,000 to $500,000 unless you carry a multi-country implementing partner; $1M+ goes to established global NGOs.
- Name the geography and communities in the project title, as their funded grants do consistently.
- Frame outputs as community resilience and jobs, not research findings; they fund almost no standalone academic work.
Worth knowing: Two structural facts distort the list: monthly matching gift payments to American Online Giving Foundation total roughly $9M across 2024 alone, and Atlanta institutional giving (Woodruff Arts, Shepherd Center, Beltline Partnership, Westside Future Fund, United Way of Greater Atlanta) reads as long-standing corporate relationship money rather than open competition. The large DC count reflects international NGO and multilateral headquarters, not DC programming, so a strong non-US project with a US-registered partner fits the pattern better than a US-only proposal.
