Funding Style
About Allied Media Action Fund
Allied Media Action Fund’s largest recent grant was a $612,160 award to Kairos Action Inc for Project Spinout, a signal that the funder can move significant resources through media- and organizing-related infrastructure. Across the recent grants listed, the foundation backs work tied to media for liberation, fiscal sponsorship, arts and culture, community technology, storytelling and journalism, and convening. Its giving also reaches environmental justice and utility advocacy, including support connected to Great Lakes water protection and public power organizing in Michigan. The foundation’s recent portfolio shows a mix of direct donations, subgrants, reimbursement-based support, and consulting or services contracts. In Detroit, it funded Michigan Environmental Justice Coalition through both a grantor-grantee payout and later reimbursement requests for expenses, while another Detroit grant supported We the People Action Fund. The pattern suggests a funder that supports local grassroots groups and movement infrastructure, not only standalone project grants.

On the civic engagement side, it gave $10,000 to One Love Global Inc through a MAJIC subgrant, and $5,000 to Lead Exchange Network for Greater Grand Rapids NAACP work. These grants point to support for grassroots, coalition-based advocacy.
