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

Grassroots racial justice organizing and Black-led movement infrastructure
Worker power, labor organizing, and economic security for low-wage workers
Regranting intermediaries and fiscal sponsors that move money to movements
Voter engagement and state-level democracy work in the South and Southwest
Climate justice tied to jobs and frontline communities
Food security, cash transfers, and benefits access technology

Typical grant

The median grant is $42,000 and half of all grants fall between $15,000 and $108,000, so most of the 4,367 grants are modest. The seven-figure checks go almost entirely to intermediaries and pooled funds like Tides, Kindle Project, Thousand Currents, Common Counsel, Proteus, Borealis, and New Venture Fund, plus a handful of national movement anchors such as Transgender Law Center and Highlander. With 4,367 grants to 3,449 recipients, repeat giving is common but usually means two or three touches rather than a long annuity.

Their words

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

“General operating support and project support”
“General operating support”
“Project support”

Positioning adjacent work

Ask in the $25,000 to $100,000 band unless you carry a national organizing network; seven figures goes to regranters.
Connect adjacent research to their worker power, climate jobs, or benefits-access clusters rather than framing it as academic study.
Lead with general operating language; their own descriptions favor unrestricted support over narrowly scoped projects.
Partner with or route through a fiscal sponsor like Tides, NEO, or Social Good Fund, which they fund heavily.

Worth knowing: This is a donor-advised fund sponsor, so most giving reflects individual advisors' relationships rather than a central program, and the biggest checks flow to other intermediaries that redistribute the money. California, New York, and DC take roughly half the recipients, and university grants are rare, with Rutgers and NYU the notable exceptions in the top tier.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
