About Bradley Impact Fund
Bradley Impact Fund Inc directs large gifts toward conservative public policy, civic institutions, education, and informed citizenship, using donor-advised fund structures and aligned grantmaking pathways tied to the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation. Its recent grants show both very large support and repeated backing for specific organizations across multiple years. The single largest grant on file is $27,141,275 to America First Legal Foundation for general charitable purposes, while Turning Point USA received $10,389,921 in 2025 and additional large grants in 2024 and 2023. That pattern points to sustained support rather than one-time awards. The fund also uses its portfolio to back organizations working on founding principles, public policy advocacy, and policy implementation at local, regional, and national levels. Grants to Alliance Defending Freedom, Leadership Institute, and County Citizens Defending Freedom USA Foundation Inc fit that pattern, as do awards tied to civic education and scholarship support. The organization’s grant programs include a Bradley Partnership Fund, Bradley Issue Funds, and the American Civics and History Initiative, which connects the funder’s thematic interests to named grantmaking channels. With annual grants of more than $157 million and assets above $200 million, it operates at a scale that allows both major operating support and targeted initiative funding.
What Bradley Impact Fund Funds
Constitutional Order and public policy advocacy are central to the funder’s recent giving. In 2024, Bradley Impact Fund Inc gave $3,350,500 to Alliance Defending Freedom for general operating support, and in 2025 it gave $3,014,050 to Leadership Institute for the same purpose. A separate 2025 grant of $2,475,000 went to County Citizens Defending Freedom USA Foundation Inc for general operating support. Education also appears through both advocacy and content-building. The fund gave $900,000 to Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc in 2024 for the Learning Engineering Tools Competition, and another $900,000 in 2025 for the same purpose. For civic education, the American Civics and History Initiative supports curricular materials, teacher training, and resources for teaching founding principles and American history. The funder also supports media and research organizations. Franklin News Foundation received $975,000 in 2024 for general operating support, while American Independent Media received $2,471,221 in 2023 for general charitable purposes.
