The Concord Fund is a politically focused philanthropic vehicle that makes large, general‑operating grants to conservative and Republican-aligned advocacy, electoral, and issue organizations. Their giving concentrates on national and state-level partisan infrastructure, judicial and rule-of-law initiatives, and faith-oriented civic mobilization groups, with repeated multi-million dollar gifts to a small set of core organizations. Grants are typically unrestricted and intended to support organizational capacity and political mobilization rather than specific program pilots or service delivery.
The Concord Fund’s recent grantmaking is marked by very large general-operating awards to conservative and Republican-aligned advocacy organizations. In 2024, it gave $8.8 million to Susan B Anthony List Inc for general operating support, $6 million to the Republican Governors Association, and $4 million to the Republican Attorney Generals Assoc, showing a pattern of funding partisan infrastructure at scale rather than project-specific pilots. The foundation also backs state-level issue operations such as Protect Women Ohio Action and Bluegrass Freedom Action, alongside groups involved in judicial and rule-of-law advocacy. Across its recent grants, the foundation repeatedly supports organizations that work on electoral infrastructure, issue mobilization, and civic advocacy. Its gifts are typically unrestricted and aimed at organizational capacity. Recipients include Heritage Action for America, Catholic Vote Civic Action, Foundation for Fair Courts LLC, Faith Freedom Coalition, and Independent Womens Voice. The mix of grantees suggests a funder that favors established organizations with the ability to deploy resources in political and policy campaigns, often through multi-million dollar general grants.
A central theme in The Concord Fund’s giving is Republican electoral infrastructure. It awarded $6 million to the Republican Governors Association and $2.55 million to Republican State Leadership in 2024, while also giving $4 million to the Republican Attorney Generals Assoc. These grants point to support for statewide partisan capacity and coordinated political organizing. The funder also backs issue advocacy tied to conservative policy campaigns. It gave $1.577883 million to Heritage Action for America in 2024 and $1.685 million to Americans for Limited Govt in 2023, both as general operating support. Judicial and rule-of-law work appears as well through $1.5 million to Foundation for Fair Courts LLC in 2024. Faith-oriented civic mobilization is another visible area. The foundation gave $1.7 million to Catholic Vote Civic Action in 2023 and $1 million to Faith Freedom Coalition in 2024, indicating sustained support for organizations that combine religious identity with political engagement.
The Concord Fund’s recent grant sizes are large: the typical grant falls at $100,000 at the 25th percentile, $500,000 at the median, and $1 million at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows repeated support to the same recipients across multiple years, including People United For Privacy, Republican State Leadership, Republican Attorney Generals Assoc, Heritage Action for America, Catholic Vote Civic Action, Foundation for Fair Courts LLC, and Susan B Anthony List Inc. The foundation appears to operate as a grantmaking vehicle focused on general operating support rather than program-restricted awards. No individual-funding or program-related investment activity is indicated.
