The Millstreet Foundation concentrates its funding on democratic participation and Middle East peacebuilding, with an overlay of support for Jewish civic education and local higher-education needs. Grants are sizable and targeted—often multi-year or repeated gifts—to organizations that work on Israeli–Palestinian reconciliation, progressive Jewish advocacy/education, and boosting voter registration and turnout in the U.S. The portfolio mixes international policy/peace-focused nonprofits with domestic democratic engagement efforts and a notable gift stream to Stanford University for campus needs.
The Millstreet Foundation Inc has built a repeat-giving pattern around Israeli-Palestinian peacebuilding and democratic participation, with recurring support for organizations that work on conflict resolution, voter engagement, and Jewish civic education. In the latest grants list, Just Vision received the largest awards, including $140,000 in 2025 and another $140,000 in 2023, both for helping Israelis and Palestinians pursue freedom, dignity and equity for all. Stanford University also appears as a recurring recipient, with grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025 to support the needs of the Stanford community. That mix shows a foundation that funds both international dialogue work and local institutional needs. The portfolio also includes advocacy and public-interest groups tied to civic life, such as J Street Education Fund, Vote.org, and the Voter Participation Center, alongside organizations working on leadership development, public education, and community dialogue. Several recipients appear across multiple years, suggesting sustained relationships rather than one-off awards. The funding levels are often substantial enough to support ongoing programs, with grants commonly repeated over time to the same organizations.
In Israeli-Palestinian peacebuilding, the foundation backed Just Vision Inc, Telos Group, Encounter, Encounter Programs, and American Friends of the Parents Circle. Those grants were framed around conflict resolution, ending violence, and helping Israelis and Palestinians pursue freedom, dignity, equity, and political agreement. For civic education and democratic participation, it supported J Street Education Fund for nonpartisan education and advocacy on important national issues, Vote.org for simplifying political engagement and increasing voter turnout, and Voter Participation Center for helping members of the New American Majority register and vote. The foundation also made grants connected to philanthropy infrastructure and movement-building, including Forward Global, The Philanthropy Workshop, Women Donor Network, and Neo Philanthropy Inc. A separate grant to KQED supported television, radio, digital media, education, community dialogue, and the arts.
Typical grant size clusters around a median of $22,500, with a p25 of $10,000 and a p75 of $50,000. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. The Millstreet Foundation Inc is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its latest 990 year on file is 2025.
