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
- Transfers to other donor-advised fund sponsors and fiscal sponsors
- Climate, clean energy, and regenerative agriculture ventures
- Community wealth building and economic democracy for Black and Latino communities
- Indigenous-led organizations and tribal community projects
- Democracy, voting, and immigration policy and legal advocacy
- University research centers, health, and global humanitarian relief
Typical grant
Half of all grants land between $10,000 and $71,096, with a median of $23,200, so this is high-volume small-check giving. The very large checks are not program grants at all: $160.8M to National Philanthropic Trust and $86.0M to GiveClear are account-level transfers to other DAF sponsors, and the next tier ($1M to $11M) goes to fiscal sponsors and intermediaries like Hopewell Fund, New Venture Fund, Social Good Fund, and Possibility Labs. With 7,851 grants to 4,730 recipients across three years, most organizations get funded more than once, which reflects individual donors recommending the same groups year after year.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “GENERAL SUPPORT”
- “FBO”
- “Fund”
- “Collective”
- “Initiative”
Positioning adjacent work
- Treat this as a DAF sponsor, not a foundation. Identify and cultivate the individual donor-advisor, not ImpactAssets staff.
- Anchor to their strongest themes: climate solutions, Indigenous-led work, or community wealth building with a measurable investment angle.
- Ask in the $25,000 to $75,000 range for a first check; that matches their middle half.
- If you lack 501(c)(3) status, note a fiscal sponsor. They routinely fund through Possibility Labs, New Venture Fund, and Social Good Fund.
Worth knowing: Every grant is coded GENERAL SUPPORT, which tells you the money is donor-directed and there is no stated program strategy to align with. Roughly a quarter of all dollars simply move to other DAF sponsors, and recipients cluster hard in California, New York, and DC, so the practical target is a donor-advisor in those networks rather than an institutional decision-maker in Bethesda.
Top recipients
Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
