Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems by providing partners access to resources including funding, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.
Stand Together Foundation’s recent grantmaking is built around a large, networked portfolio of nonprofit partners, with $93,347,889 reported in 2025 to “See Attached” in Arlington, VA and $35,981,955 in 2024 to the same recipient listing. That pattern fits its model: individualized funding paired with operational support, network connections, and management help for principle-based organizations working on education, economic opportunity, criminal justice and reentry, community development, health care, and public policy. A defining part of the foundation’s approach is the Catalyst Community, a network of more than 340 nonprofit partners it supports to expand reach and amplify impact nationwide. Within that community, Catalyst Ignite is a selective 12-month leadership and management experience for high-performing nonprofits. Recent grants also show sizable general operating support to organizations such as The Phoenix in Denver and Love Has No Limits Inc in Dana Point, indicating a preference for flexible support alongside partnership-based capacity building.
In community development and reentry-related work, the foundation gave $1,250,000 to The Last Mile in San Francisco for general operating support and $1,300,000 to Safe Families for Children Alliance in Chicago for general operating support. Its education-related giving includes $310,000 to Education Opens Doors in Dallas and $636,000 to Thread Inc in Baltimore, both as general operating support. The foundation also funds civic and public-spirited work: $250,000 went to Citizen University in Seattle, and $268,000 supported The One America Movement in Bowie, MD, each on a general operating basis. Workforce and economic opportunity show up as well, including $220,000 to Join FreeWorld Inc in San Jose and $1,595,000 to Rising Tide Capital in Jersey City.
Typical grants cluster at $25,000: the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile are all $25,000 except for a $100,000 upper quartile. The recent record also includes very large, individualized awards, showing a wide spread between standard support and flagship commitments. The funder is a regular grantmaker rather than a DAF, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. Its support model is partnership-based and often unrestricted or general operating support, with some pathways accepting unsolicited requests through “Partner With Us.” Recipients appear in a multi-year pattern, with major awards shown in both 2024 and 2025.
