The Wild Gifting Project concentrates large, targeted grants to grassroots, activist-led organizations working on racial justice and health equity in the DMV (DC–Maryland–Virginia) region. Their giving prioritizes prison abolition advocacy and community-led solutions to maternal and infant health disparities affecting Black families, favoring organizations that combine organizing, advocacy, and direct-support models.
The Wild Gifting Project’s recent grantmaking is marked by large awards to grassroots groups working on prison abolition, Black maternal health, and related racial justice issues, especially in the DMV. A 2024 grant of $361,125 went to Who Speaks for Me for advocacy and activist-driven prison abolition work in the DMV, while Mamatoto Village received $250,000 the same year for creative solutions to racism and health disparities affecting Black mothers, babies, and families. Those two grants capture a pattern the foundation uses across its portfolio: support for organizations combining organizing, advocacy, and direct support. The foundation also backs harm reduction, immigrant legal defense, reentry-related housing, and community-led health work. Its grants often go to organizations serving women, girls, transgender and nonbinary LGBTQ people of color, Black families, returning citizens, immigrants, and people impacted by drug use or sex work. Recent awards also show support for food justice, Black agrarian sustainability, queer Muslim organizing, and arts-based programming for Black boys and young men. The Wild Gifting Project funds both established and emerging grassroots efforts, with several recipients operating in Washington, DC and other nearby cities in the DMV.
In prison abolition and alternatives to incarceration, The Wild Gifting Project gave $200,000 to Ct Bail Fund for work to reduce harms caused by criminalization, incarceration, and deportation while building power among impacted families. It also awarded $168,122 to Who Speaks for Me Project for the Housing for All program for returning citizens, women, girls, and LGBTQ people of color. For Black maternal and infant health, the foundation gave $250,000 to Mamatoto Village to address racism and health disparities for Black mothers, babies, and their families in the DMV. In direct health services, it awarded $200,000 to Wawc Healthcare for prenatal, reproductive, and additional healthcare services for at-risk populations in greater Tuscaloosa, plus Medicaid and referral support. The Wild Gifting Project also funds harm reduction and community survival work. Fringe Public Health received $200,129 to provide harm reduction resources for communities impacted by drug use and sex work in Columbus, Ohio. The Healing Underground received $180,900 for grocery and food distribution mutual aid for low-income, queer, and BIPOC community members.

The Wild Gifting Project’s typical grant sizes cluster at $31,250 at the 25th percentile, $55,000 at the median, and $100,000 at the 75th percentile.

The active grant programs indicate unsolicited proposals are accepted, though the organization is currently paused on new projects and plans to reopen for proposals in Summer 2026.
Grantmaking is national, but it is most concentrated in Georgia by grant count, while 26% of grants go to recipients in Connecticut. The strongest city-level cluster is Washington, DC, including multiple awards to organizations there such as Who Speaks for Me, Mamatoto Village, Street Health DC, and Life Pieces to Masterpieces. Other repeated recipient locations include New Haven and Hartford in Connecticut, plus Brooklyn and New York City in New York. All recorded recipient grants in the data are to US organizations.
The portfolio centers grassroots groups working on prison abolition, Black maternal and infant health, harm reduction, reentry housing, immigrant legal defense, food justice, Black agrarian sustainability, and LGBTQ+ organizing.

The stated distribution is $31,250 at the 25th percentile, $55,000 at the median, and $100,000 at the 75th percentile. Recent awards also include several six-figure grants, such as $361,125 and $250,000.
