Advance policies, campaigns, and funding to create and preserve affordable housing and end homelessness in the Bay Area through advocacy, voter engagement, and coalition-building.
NPH Action Fund’s 2025 giving is dominated by a single grant of $11,801,439 to Yes on 5 for committee support, placing ballot-measure advocacy at the center of its recent activity. The funder also backed other California political and housing-related committees, including a $1,000,000 grant to Million Voters Project Action and $307,510 to Bay Area Neighbors, both listed for committee support. That pattern points to a foundation that uses grants to move policy campaigns, voter engagement, and coalition efforts tied to housing and homelessness goals. The funder’s stated focus areas align with that approach: affordable housing development and preservation, homelessness solutions and supportive housing, public policy and ballot measure advocacy, voter engagement and resident services, and regional funding and planning for housing. Its most recent grants show those priorities expressed through support for campaign committees and advocacy organizations rather than direct service grants. Other recent awards include support for the California Democratic Party and Yes on Prop 1, suggesting a broad interest in statewide political and ballot-related efforts connected to housing policy. The foundation’s recent grantmaking also includes a smaller $10,000 grant to Affordable Housing-See Sch O for support of Measure A.

The foundation’s political and voter-engagement work extends beyond a single issue campaign. It gave $102,670 to the California Democratic Party for committee support, and $1,000,000 to Million Voters Project Action for committee support. Those awards place advocacy, electoral mobilization, and coalition activity alongside its affordable housing and homelessness agenda.
