About Multiplier
Multiplier’s recent giving is dominated by a clean-energy grid effort: its largest grant was $4,200,000 in 2025 to United States Energy Foundation for “Transmission Solutions for a Clean Energy Future.” That theme appears across multiple sizable awards to national policy, research, and advocacy organizations, showing a funder that backs coordinated work on infrastructure as well as movement-building. The foundation also pairs that with a separate ocean-focused grant, including $1,000,000 to Legacy Philanthropy Works for “Advocate for Sustainable Fisheries and Ocean Stewardship.” Across its portfolio, Multiplier supports initiatives tied to a healthy, sustainable, resilient, and equitable world. The grant list includes environmental groups, university-based recipients, and intermediary organizations that can move funding and ideas into action. In practice, the foundation appears to favor large, program-specific awards rather than a broad scatter of small gifts, with repeated support for several recipients over multiple years. The mix of energy, fisheries, climate, and equity work points to a strategy centered on systems change in sectors where policy, infrastructure, and stakeholder coordination matter.
What Multiplier Funds
Clean-energy transmission is the clearest throughline in Multiplier’s recent grants. It gave $2,395,400 to Americans for a Clean Energy Grid for “Transmission Solutions for a Clean Energy Future,” and $2,388,463 to American Council on Renewable Energy for the same effort. The foundation also funded Rocky Mountain Institute with $1,670,000 for that work. Ocean and fisheries stewardship is another distinct area. Multiplier awarded $1,000,000 to Legacy Philanthropy Works for “Advocate for Sustainable Fisheries and Ocean Stewardship,” signaling support for sector advocacy rather than direct service delivery. The portfolio also includes broader climate and conservation organizations such as National Audubon Society, which received $1,013,292 in 2024 and $1,000,000 in 2025, both for transmission-related work. These grants show that the foundation uses environmental groups as channels for policy, research, and narrative work.
How Multiplier Gives
Multiplier’s grant sizes are broad but tilted toward large awards: the typical grant size is $20,000 at the 25th percentile, $47,039 at the median, and $300,000 at the 75th percentile. Recent entries also show repeated support for the same organizations across years, including United States Energy Foundation, American Council on Renewable Energy, Rocky Mountain Institute, Gridlab, National Audubon Society, and others. That pattern suggests ongoing program relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is a Pure DAF Provider and does not fund individuals. Its operating style is consistent with channeling large, program-specific grants through intermediary organizations and established nonprofits.
