About Fund for A Better Future
Fund for a Better Future Inc has made a $21.3 million grant to Climate Power, one of the largest awards in its recent record, signaling a preference for large, strategic support tied to climate and environmental advocacy. The foundation’s giving also shows repeated backing for national advocacy infrastructure in Washington, DC, including Priorities USA, Indivisible Project, and Sixteen Thirty Fund. Across recent years, it has supported organizations working on climate action, election integrity, social and economic justice, healthcare, and immigration rights. Its grants are aimed at advocacy and policy change, capacity building, and project-based operational support rather than direct aid to individuals. The recent pattern includes both one-time awards and repeated support for the same organizations over multiple years, which points to an ongoing relationship with several recipients. Environmental protection and democratic participation appear alongside civil rights and public-interest communications as core parts of the portfolio. The foundation’s public giving record is national in scope, but the concentration of large grants in Washington, DC organizations stands out as a defining feature of its recent activity.
What Fund for A Better Future Funds
Climate and environmental advocacy is a major part of the portfolio. In 2024, the foundation gave $2 million to US Megafire Response Action Fund in Calabasas, CA, and another $500,000 in 2025 to Clean Air Action Fund in Philadelphia, PA. It also backed Texas Campaign for the Environment with $530,000 in Austin, TX. Civil rights and civic engagement is another recurring area. The foundation awarded $1.5 million to Sixteen Thirty Fund in 2025 for civil rights and civic engagement, after giving the same organization $250,000 in 2023. It also gave $1 million to Indivisible Project in 2023 and again in 2024. Social welfare activities appear in several large grants, including $8.155 million to Priorities USA in 2023 and $1 million more in 2025. Democracy Forward received $500,000 in 2025 for the same category.
How Fund for A Better Future Gives
Typical grant size is substantial: the 25th percentile is $105,000, the median is $250,000, and the 75th percentile is $1,225,000. That spread suggests a mix of mid-sized and very large awards, with several seven-figure grants at the high end. The record also shows repeat support across years for multiple recipients, including organizations that received funding in both 2023 and 2025. Fund for a Better Future Inc does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The recent record is consistent with operating support, fiscal sponsorship spin-off support, and project- or program-based support for organizations rather than one-off small grants.
