Makes large, strategic grants to research, policy, field-building, and capacity-building organizations; often supports technical work, fellowships, prototypes, and talent pipelines rather than broad general operating support alone.
Show clear evidence of high expected impact, rigorous theory of change, and a strong fit with one of their priority cause areas. Proposals are strongest when they are specific, technically credible, and oriented toward field-building, policy influence, research, or scalable interventions rather than small local projects.
