We envision a world in which all people have the resources, respect and sense of belonging to live and contribute fully as themselves, in safety, and with joy.
The Grove Foundation has used large, repeated grants to move money through coalition vehicles and field organizations working on immigrant rights, reproductive justice, and civic engagement. One of the clearest examples is Neo Philanthropy Inc., which received multiple seven-figure awards tied to the Black Migrant Power Fund, the Four Freedoms Fund, the State Infrastructure Fund, and related projects across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern shows a funder comfortable supporting pooled strategies as well as named operating partners. The foundation also backs organizations that anchor specific movements and service systems. Immigrant Legal Resource Center received several major grants for general support, the New Americans Campaign, immigration training and technical assistance, policy advocacy, and civic engagement. International Rescue Committee Inc. was funded for both immigration-related work and Northern California services, including career-based training scholarships and pathways to citizenship. Advocates for Youth was another recurring recipient for sex education and related youth-health work. Across the portfolio, the Grove Foundation supports advocacy, organizing, legal services, direct assistance, and capacity-building rather than a single-service model.
Immigration-related work appears across several grants and years. The foundation gave $660,000 in 2024 to Immigrant Legal Resource Center for general support, the National Immigration Legal Services Collaborative feasibility study, and the New Americans Campaign, then added $645,000 in 2025 for general support and the New Americans Campaign. In reproductive health, rights, and justice, the Grove Foundation funded Advocates for Youth with $780,000 in 2025 for general support, FOSE, and Working to Institutionalize Sex Education (WISE). It also supported abortion-focused infrastructure through pooled vehicles such as Amalgamated Charitable Foundation Inc. and Neo Philanthropy Inc. Civic engagement and voting rights show up through One Arizona, which received $340,000 in 2023 for general support, the Arizona Fair Elections Act ballot table coordination effort, the AZ AANHPI for Equity Coalition, and the Arizona Democracy Resource Center. Environmental and air-quality work also appears through a $350,000 grant to Social & Environmental Entrepreneurs for the Central Valley Air Quality Coalition.

Typical grants cluster around $60,000 at the 25th percentile, $100,000 at the median, and $160,000 at the 75th percentile, with several much larger awards to national intermediaries and coalition funds. The recent record shows multi-year relationships rather than one-off gifts: Neo Philanthropy Inc., Immigrant Legal Resource Center, Advocates for Youth, International Rescue Committee Inc., and One Arizona each appear in more than one year. The Grove Foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it also makes program-related investments. Its grants include operating support, project support, scholarships, litigation, and donor-advised or pooled-fund transfers.
Grantmaking is national, but California receives the largest share of awards. In the recent grants list, California recipients include San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Redwood City, East Palo Alto, Daly City, El Granada, Pescadero, Emeryville, Calabasas, and Durango is a non-California outlier in the West. Outside California, repeated grant activity appears in Washington, DC; New York, NY; Phoenix, AZ; East Point, GA; and Washington, DC-based intermediaries. The foundation’s recipient-country footprint is entirely U.S.-based in the data provided.
It funds organizations working on immigrant rights, reproductive health and justice, civic engagement and voter participation, Black-led organizing and power building, and safety-net services in specific California communities. The recent grants also show support for environmental health and air quality, plus coalition vehicles that move money to multiple partners.
Yes. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Neo Philanthropy Inc., Immigrant Legal Resource Center, Advocates for Youth, International Rescue Committee Inc., and One Arizona. The pattern includes repeated general support as well as continued funding for named campaigns and collaborative funds.
The typical grant size is $60,000 at the 25th percentile, $100,000 at the median, and $160,000 at the 75th percentile. Recent awards also include larger seven-figure grants to intermediary organizations and coalition funds.
No active program listed accepts unsolicited applications. The foundation’s current programs for reproductive health, safety net, civic engagement, immigration, black-led power building, and the transitioned environment program all state that they do not accept unsolicited proposals.
California is the top state by grant count, and 48% of grants go to recipients in California. Recent California recipients include organizations in San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Redwood City, East Palo Alto, Daly City, El Granada, Pescadero, Emeryville, and Calabasas.
