About Pact
Pact Inc’s largest recent grant was $15,640,690 to the International Research and Exchange Board for a civil society and media-strengthened project. That award reflects a broader pattern in which the foundation backs systems-level work rather than one-off charity, with large grants flowing to organizations working on HIV prevention, children affected by HIV, governance, and natural-resource management. The foundation also supported The Asia Foundation with $4,728,356 for civil society and media-strengthened work, and gave $3,739,346 to the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative for peace building and judicial capacity development. Across the recent grants list, Pact Inc appears to favor established implementers that can deliver programs at scale in public health, civic institutions, and community development. Its grantmaking also reaches environmental and livelihoods work, including natural resources management projects and support for young women tech entrepreneurs. The pattern is consistent with an organization that funds evidence-rooted, data-driven solutions and combines direct service, institutional strengthening, and sector-specific innovation.

How Pact Gives
Typical grant size sits at a p25 of $59,291, a median of $215,214, and a p75 of $613,173, showing a mix of smaller awards and larger institutional grants. The recent record shows repeat support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Jhpiego Corporation, the International Research and Exchange Board, Palladium International LLC, World Resources Institute, University of Rhode Island, and The Asia Foundation. Pact Inc is classified as a regular funder, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. The available data does not show an application process, so the grant pattern is best understood through recurring institutional partnerships rather than open solicitation.
