State Power Caucus concentrates funding on state and local civic power-building organizations that mobilize low-income, Black, Latinx and faith communities to influence policy and elections. They favor multi-state grassroots organizing networks and state-specific civic engagement groups that provide training, field operations and coalition-building rather than service delivery. The foundation’s grants emphasize capacity for voter engagement, community organizing and rapid-response advocacy across battleground and emerging states.
State Power Caucus repeatedly backs state-level civic power infrastructure, with a $127,500 grant to Social Transformation Project in both 2023 and 2024 and $75,000 grants to Grassroots Power Project in both years. That pattern points to a funder that favors sustained support for organizations building organizing capacity, rather than one-off event funding. Across the recent grants list, the foundation appears to prioritize state and local groups that can mobilize low-income, Black, Latinx, immigrant, and faith communities around policy and elections. The grant portfolio also shows support for multi-state civic networks and state-specific education funds.

Taken together, these grants suggest a consistent focus on organizing, coalition-building, training, field work, and advocacy capacity across multiple states.
