About Hopewell Fund
Hopewell Fund’s recent giving is marked by large-scale support for civil rights, social action, and advocacy infrastructure, including an $18,446,580 grant to Global Impact in 2024 and an $11,045,000 grant to New Venture Fund in 2025. Those awards sit alongside multimillion-dollar support for groups such as Sixteen Thirty Fund, Voteamerica Inc, and Vote Forward, showing a pattern of funding organizations that move money and capacity into advocacy efforts rather than individuals. The foundation is a public charity and a regular funder that also makes program-related investments, which fits its role as a fiscal sponsor and project incubator for donors, social entrepreneurs, and other changemakers. Its recent grants also include health-focused support, such as awards to Americans for Contraception and A Preferred Women’s Health Center, but the dominant thread is issue-based organizing and policy work. Across the grant list, the foundation backs organizations involved in civil rights advocacy, ballot-measure campaign funding, and advocacy technology and innovation, often at levels above $1 million and frequently through repeat support to the same intermediaries over multiple years.
What Hopewell Fund Funds
A major share of Hopewell Fund’s grantmaking supports civic and electoral advocacy. In 2025, it gave $7,050,000 to Voteamerica Inc for civil rights, social action, and advocacy, and $4,758,391 to Vote Forward for the same broad purpose, reflecting a clear emphasis on organizing and participation-related infrastructure. It also funded ballot-measure work, including $2,542,000 to Floridians Protecting Freedom in Miami for ballot measure-related civil rights, social action, and advocacy. Health is another visible area in the recent grants list: the funder gave $4,766,580 to Americans for Contraception in Washington, DC, and $2,492,221 to The Hope Clinic for Women Ltd in Granite City, Illinois. The presence of awards to organizations such as Fair Democracy and Future Now Action points to policy-oriented advocacy as a continuing theme.
