A conservative nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting President Trump’s America First agenda.
A $43 million grant to Citizens for Sanity Inc anchors Building America's Future’s recent giving and shows the scale at which it operates. The organization has paired that type of large award with repeated support for other political and policy groups, including Interstate Priorities Inc, And to the Republic, and Eu-us Forum Inc. Its grants are written broadly “to further the exempt purpose of the organization,” which fits a pattern of flexible support rather than narrowly earmarked project funding. The foundation’s recent portfolio also includes six- and seven-figure awards to groups working in conservative politics and public policy, such as Turning Point Action, The American Promise Inc, The Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy, and State Government Leadership Foundation. Several recipients appear in multiple years, indicating ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. Building America’s Future is a regional grantmaker with a wide spread across the United States and a clear concentration in advocacy-oriented organizations.
In political advocacy, Building America’s Future gave $10.1 million to Interstate Priorities Inc to further the exempt purpose of the organization. It also backed Republican Governors Public Policy Committee with $50,000 and Common Sense America Inc with multiple grants, including $250,000 in 2025 and $250,000 in 2024. In immigration and border-related work, the foundation awarded $1.375 million to Let’s Preserve the American Dream in 2025 and another $1.375 million in 2024. For policy research and statesmanship, it gave The Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy $300,000 in both 2024 and 2025. It also supported media and communications-adjacent advocacy through Citizens for Sanity Inc, which received the largest disclosed grant.
Typical grant size is $115,000 at the 25th percentile, $275,000 at the median, and $718,750 at the 75th percentile. The pattern includes repeated awards to the same recipients across years, including And to the Republic, Let’s Preserve the American Dream, Common Sense America Inc, State Government Leadership Foundation, New Generation Inc, The Family Leader Inc, World Golf Foundation Inc, and The Claremont Institute. Grants are generally described as support for the organization’s exempt purpose, and the foundation’s philosophy tags indicate general operating support, unrestricted or flexible funding, and organizational mission advancement.
