About Reset Tech Action
Reset Tech Action’s largest recent gift, $350,000 to Black Men Vote Civic Action Fund, shows a focus on digital media, civic participation, and the practical mechanics of online influence. The foundation backs organizations working where platform design, communications, and public-interest advocacy meet democratic participation. Recent grants also include $260,000 to Onyx Impact Inc. for digital threat work and $150,000 to Sumofus for Spanish-language outreach and content development, indicating support for both technical and audience-facing strategies. Other awards point to a broad but related set of concerns: platform and corporate accountability, support for AAPI communities, and efforts to strengthen legal and research capacity around online harms. The pattern is less about isolated issue grants than about funding organizations that can respond to misinformation, manipulation, and digital risk with advocacy, research, and organizing. The foundation’s grantmaking is concentrated in U.S. organizations, with repeated support for groups engaged in public-interest work around technology and democracy.
What Reset Tech Action Funds
A clear theme is digital safety and counter-disinformation capacity. Reset Tech Action gave $260,000 to Onyx Impact Inc. to deliver digital threat-related work, and $25,000 to Pluro Labs for research into instant messaging. It also supported Electronic Privacy Information Center with $22,373 to coordinate amicus strategy and file amicus briefs, linking research and legal advocacy. Another strand is communications and community outreach. Sumofus received $150,000 for Spanish-language outreach and content development, while Sixteen Thirty Fund received $150,000 for supporting AAPI-related work. Civic engagement appears as well: Voto Latino received $50,000, and Black Men Vote Civic Action Fund received $350,000 for executive support.
How Reset Tech Action Gives
Reset Tech Action’s typical grant size is tightly clustered at $22,373, with the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile all at that amount. The recent record shows both larger strategic grants and smaller capacity-support awards, but the distribution suggests a recurring standard grant level alongside a few larger exceptions. The foundation is a regular funder and does not fund individuals. Its 2024 and 2025 grants both went to U.S.-based recipients, and the recipient list shows repeated support for advocacy, communications, research, and legal work rather than one-off program-only awards.
