About Streisand Foundation
The Streisand Foundation uses invitation-only grantmaking to back a mix of advocacy, research, and service organizations, with recent support reaching voting access, reproductive health, investigative journalism, civil liberties, climate, veterans’ services, and community needs. The foundation says it does not accept unsolicited requests and does not make grants to individuals, so its relationships appear to be curated rather than open-application based. Recent awards show a pattern of flexible support. The Tides Foundation received $115,000 for operations, while Vote Riders was granted $40,000 for operations and Planned Parenthood Federation of America received $30,000 for election-related work. The foundation also supported media and public-interest organizations such as Pro Publica, Mother Jones, and the Women's Media Center, alongside policy and advocacy groups including the League of Conservation Voters Education Fund and the Brennan Center for Justice. Grant descriptions point to both general operating support and issue-specific funding, including public education, consumer protection, and civic participation. The grantee mix suggests a funder that works across several connected fields rather than through a single narrow program. Its support reaches national nonprofits and intermediary organizations, as well as institutions tied to education and public affairs.
What Streisand Foundation Funds
A major thread in The Streisand Foundation’s recent giving is civic participation and elections. It gave $40,000 to Vote Riders for operations and $30,000 to Planned Parenthood Federation of America for work that “promotes accuracy, transparency and verifiability of elections.” It also funded New Venture Fund for “promote fair and equal justice,” linking democracy work with broader public-policy advocacy. Media and public-interest research are another clear area. Pro Publica received $35,000 to “educate the public concerning issues of importance to working families,” while Mother Jones received $40,000 to “advance liberal and progressive goals.” The Good Information Foundation also appears in the recent list with operating support. Environmental grantmaking shows up through multiple organizations. The League of Conservation Voters Education Fund received both $35,000 and $30,000 for services provided by the organization, and the Center for American Progress received $30,000 to support protection of public health and environment.
