About Omidyar Network Fund
A defining thread in Omidyar Network Fund Inc’s grantmaking is its repeated support for research and policy work on the digital economy. The foundation has backed the Santa Fe Institute of Science three times across 2023, 2024, and 2025 for the Emergent Political Economies: Rules, Dynamics and Diversity Research Theme, showing a sustained interest in how digital systems shape economic outcomes. It also funds institutions working on public-interest infrastructure around technology and society, including the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development’s ID4D Multi Donor Trust Fund and The Aspen Institute’s Aspen Digital project. Their portfolio reaches beyond research into worker power, journalism, civic infrastructure, and AI governance. Recent grants also show attention to coalitions and pooled vehicles, such as Amalgamated Charitable Foundation’s BuildUS Fund and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors’ Pop Culture Collaborative and Trust for Civic Infrastructure projects. The foundation’s program-related investments and regular-funder status align with a grantmaking model that combines direct grants with collaborative funding structures.
