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

  • Voter turnout, registration and mobilization infrastructure, mostly national
  • Abortion clinics and independent reproductive health providers
  • State-level advocacy groups in battleground states
  • Ballot measure campaigns on reproductive freedom
  • Fiscal and tax policy centers at the state level
  • Civic media, election administration and voting technology

Typical grant

Median grant is $82,500, with the middle half falling between $25,000 and $250,000. The very large checks, $1 million to $11 million, go to a small set of national intermediaries and turnout operations like New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, VoteAmerica and Vote Forward, plus statewide ballot campaigns. The smaller five and six figure grants go to state policy centers, clinics and local organizing groups, and 898 grants across only 623 recipients means a meaningful share of grantees get funded more than once.

Their words

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

  • CIVIL RIGHTS, SOCIAL ACTION, ADVOCACY
  • HEALTH
  • BALLOT MEASURE

Positioning adjacent work

  • Tie work to voter participation, election administration or reproductive access, the three themes absorbing nearly all dollars.
  • Ask $50,000 to $250,000 for a first approach; seven-figure sums go to established national intermediaries.
  • Name specific states, especially NC, WI, MI, PA, OH, AZ, NV, where their state-level giving concentrates.
  • Frame research as directly usable by advocacy or ballot campaigns rather than as academic output.

Worth knowing: This is a fiscal sponsor and intermediary itself, and much of the money moves to other intermediaries and c4-adjacent operations rather than through open solicitation, so entry is relationship-driven. Giving is heavily concentrated in DC and California organizations, and the 2024 record is dominated by election-cycle spending, which means the pattern in a non-federal-election year will look different.

Top recipients

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