About Humanity Forward
Humanity Forward Inc’s largest recent grant was a $500,000 general operating grant to American Policy Ventures Action, a sign that the foundation supports policy organizations with substantial unrestricted funding. Its 2024 grants also include a $115,000 paid leave advocacy campaign for Patriot Voices and a $73,795 research grant to the Social Policy Institute at Washington University in St. Louis for child poverty work. Those three awards show a mix of advocacy, research, and operating support rather than a single program-only approach. The foundation’s stated agenda centers on evidence-based bipartisan policies for family economic security, including paid family leave, the child tax credit and child poverty, direct cash transfers, financial inclusion and cryptocurrency, small business competitiveness, workforce development, climate and energy policy, and democracy reforms. Beneficiaries named in its taxonomy include children living in poverty, low-income families, and working parents or caregivers. Humanity Forward Inc also runs an ongoing fellowship program that places part-time fellows in internal departments for about 14 weeks, with monthly stipends and assignments across policy, communications, development, operations, and administration.
What Humanity Forward Funds
In paid leave advocacy, Humanity Forward Inc gave $115,000 to Patriot Voices for a paid leave advocacy campaign. That award fits a broader policy orientation that includes paid family and medical leave and paid leave advocacy campaigns. For child poverty research, the foundation made a $73,795 grant to the Social Policy Institute at Washington University in St Louis for research on child poverty. Its focus areas also include the child tax credit and direct cash transfers, which place family economic security at the center of the portfolio. A different type of support appears in its $500,000 general operating grant to American Policy Ventures Action. Across these examples, the foundation uses advocacy, research, and unrestricted support to advance policy change.
How Humanity Forward Gives
Typical grant size sits at $94,398 at the 25th percentile, $115,000 at the median, and $307,500 at the 75th percentile. The 2024 top grants show one very large operating award alongside mid-sized advocacy and research grants, which suggests a spread from targeted project support to larger unrestricted support. The foundation is a regular funder and also accepts unsolicited applications for its Humanity Forward Fellowship Program. That fellowship is ongoing, runs about 14 weeks, and places part-time fellows in internal departments with monthly stipends. The recent grant list provided here shows 2024 awards only, so repeat recipient patterns are not evident in this dataset.
