About Threshold Foundation
Threshold Foundation’s recent grantmaking shows a strong emphasis on land stewardship and reproductive justice, with one of its largest awards going to Ekvn-Yefolecv in Weogufka, Alabama for project-related conservation and forest conservation. The foundation also made a sizable award to Groundswell Action Fund in San Francisco for advance reproductive justice, alongside repeated support for organizations working on democratic participation, soil health, and community-led land work. Threshold Foundation is a regular funder with national reach, and its grants often combine general support with project-related support. That mix appears across environmental, civic, and movement-focused organizations, including Mileston Cooperative Associat in Tchula, Mississippi and the New Israel Fund in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The pattern suggests a funder that backs both place-based initiatives and national intermediaries, using flexible support as well as funding tied to specific programs or campaigns. Recent grants also show recurring relationships with several recipients over multiple years, indicating ongoing alignment rather than one-off awards.
What Threshold Foundation Funds
Within land and climate work, Threshold Foundation funded Earth Island Institute in Berkeley, California for the Healthy Soils National Network, linking its environmental giving to soil-health organizing. It also supported Sogorea Te Land Trust in Oakland, California with general support, alongside grants to Wimberley Valley Watershed in Wimberley, Texas and Calhoun County Resource in Seadrift, Texas. In reproductive justice, the foundation gave to Groundswell Action Fund in San Francisco for advance reproductive justice, and to Way to Rise Philanthropic in New York for the same focus area. Democratic participation is another clear theme: Alliance for Youth Action in Washington, DC and Alliance for Youth Organizing in Washington, DC both received general support. The foundation’s portfolio also includes community and litigation-oriented work through groups such as Partnership Policy Integrity in Pelham, Massachusetts and the New Israel Fund in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
