About Netchoice
NetChoice gives as a public-policy advocacy funder tied to online companies and consumers, with support aimed at convenience, choice, and the free marketplace on the Internet. Its recent grants show a strong preference for general support rather than project-restricted awards, including a $2,110,000 grant to 45Committee in Herndon, Virginia, and multiple six-figure awards to policy and research organizations. The largest grants in the record also point to a sustained emphasis on Internet policy, free speech online, and data/privacy policy, alongside work on e-commerce and cross-border digital trade. The foundation’s support reaches a mix of think tanks, advocacy groups, and public-interest organizations. In the latest filing year, it backed Tech Freedom in Washington, DC with $365,000, following earlier grants of $450,000 in 2023 and $250,000 in 2024. Other recipients include the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Phoenix Center for Advanced Legal and Economic Public Policy Studies. Across these awards, the pattern is consistent: broad organizational support for groups advancing policy arguments in the digital economy and related free-speech and market-competition debates.
What Netchoice Funds
Internet policy appears to be the core thread in NetChoice’s grantmaking. The foundation gave $365,000 to Tech Freedom in Washington, DC for general support, after earlier grants of $450,000 in 2023 and $250,000 in 2024. It also awarded $100,000 to the Internet Education Foundation in Washington, DC, reinforcing a policy-and-education orientation around online issues. Free-market economic policy is another recurring area. NetChoice gave $125,000 to the Competitive Enterprise Institute in Washington, DC in 2025, following a $150,000 grant in 2023 and $100,000 in 2024. The foundation also provided $100,000 to the American Enterprise Institute in 2025 and $50,000 in 2023 and 2024. Its portfolio includes legal and advocacy groups as well. The foundation awarded $50,000 to Protect the First Foundation in Washington, DC and $90,000 to the James Madison Institute in Tallahassee, Florida, both on a general-support basis.
How Netchoice Gives
NetChoice’s typical grant size sits at $16,250 at the 25th percentile, $35,000 at the median, and $53,750 at the 75th percentile. The recent record also includes very large awards above that range, suggesting a small set of high-dollar general-support grants alongside a broader base of lower-amount awards. The same recipients appear across multiple years, including Tech Freedom, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Phoenix Center, which points to recurring support rather than one-off giving. The foundation is structured as a grantmaker that does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its support is described in the records as general support, unrestricted support, or core organizational support.
