About Organizing Empowerment Project
Organizing Empowerment Project Inc’s largest recent grants went to Organizing Empowerment Pac for general support, at $1,225,000 in 2024 and $1,210,000 in 2023. That repeated support points to a funder centered on sustained infrastructure rather than one-off project awards. The organization’s stated vision is a world where communities use personal relationships to build support for social justice, equity, and the freedom for everyone in America to thrive. Its work is tied to relational organizing, civic engagement and voter mobilization, organizational training and capacity building, organizing technology and platforms, and progressive movement support. The foundation also runs an active program that provides free access to organizing tools for approved 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations and labor groups, with affordable access for state parties and candidates. The program includes organizer and activist smartphone apps, web tools, training, and support. In practice, the grant record and program design show a funder built around movement infrastructure, digital organizing capacity, and voter engagement tools for U.S.-based civic and political organizing efforts.
What Organizing Empowerment Project Funds
In relational organizing, the foundation backs technology and support that help organizers work through personal networks. Its active program provides free access to organizer and activist smartphone apps, web tools, training, and support for approved organizations and labor groups. In civic engagement and voter mobilization, the taxonomy points to expanding the electorate, voter registration, voter education and turnout, public participation in issue advocacy, and building civic power in communities. Organizational training and capacity building is another clear theme, reflected in the program’s training and support component. Progressive movement support appears in both the stated focus areas and the broader mission to help communities use relationships to advance social justice and equity.
How Organizing Empowerment Project Gives
The two recent grants on file are both very large general-support awards: $1,210,000 and $1,225,000. The typical grant size is tightly clustered as well, with a p25 of $1,213,750, a median of $1,217,500, and a p75 of $1,221,250. The grant record shows repeat support across 2023 and 2024 to the same recipient, which suggests ongoing backing rather than isolated giving. Organizing Empowerment Project Inc is a regular funder, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Unsolicited applications are not accepted through the active access program.
