The foundation is primarily a voter registration and civic engagement funder that invests heavily in state and community-based voter mobilization groups, especially organizations that reach Black, Latino, Native and young voters. Grants skew toward battleground states and local grassroots organizations while also supporting climate-aligned civic efforts and immigrant-advocacy groups that combine service with voter outreach. Funding is dominated by repeated, sizable awards to a set of core partners rather than one-off, small gifts. The portfolio emphasizes pragmatic turnout work over general policy grants.
Concentrated, strategic giving with multiple large grants to repeat core grantees; funding is targeted by state and demographic cohort (race/ethnicity and age) and blends direct voter registration operations with intermediary/supportive infrastructure funding.
Notable grantees: State Voices, New Georgia Project, Mi Familia Vota Education Fund, League of Conservation Voters Education Fund, UnidosUS
Voter Registration Project’s recent grantmaking is built around repeated, sizable support for voter registration and civic engagement organizations rather than small one-off gifts. The largest recent awards go to groups that work directly with voters, including $3,423,961 to NC A Philip Randolph Institute Inc for voter registration and $3,120,000 to Voter Formation Project for voter registration. The foundation also backs state-based turnout efforts in places such as Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Florida, and North Carolina, with several recipients appearing more than once across the recent grants list. That pattern points to a funder that supports ongoing field operations, registration outreach, and education work aimed at eligible voters who are not yet registered or are being engaged in advance of elections. Its portfolio includes organizations serving Black, Latino, immigrant, youth, and climate-oriented constituencies, and the grant sizes suggest a focus on substantial program support rather than narrow pilot funding. Across the recent awards, the foundation prioritizes practical civic participation work delivered through established advocacy and mobilization groups.
The foundation supports voter registration through several overlapping cause areas. In climate-related civic engagement, it gave $3,603,861 to League of Conservation Voters Education Fund and $1,213,600 to The Climate Reality Project, both labeled for voter registration. In Black voter mobilization, it awarded $3,423,961 to NC A Philip Randolph Institute Inc and $1,549,361 to Black Men Vote. Latino and immigrant voter outreach also appears prominently: Mi Familia Vota Education Fund received $2,623,792, while UnidosUS received $2,097,471, both for voter registration. Youth-focused engagement shows up as well, including $1,078,317 to Nextgen Education Fund and $998,147 to Jolt Initiative Inc for voter registration. The common thread is direct voter-facing work that builds turnout capacity within specific communities.
Typical grants are large, with a p25 of $149,178, a median of $264,284, and a p75 of $644,183. The recent list shows a strong repeat-grantee pattern: State Voices, UnidosUS, New Georgia Project, MI Familia Vota Education Fund, and Voter Formation Project each appear multiple times, which suggests ongoing support rather than isolated awards. Voter Registration Project is a Public Charity and a Regular Funder, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The portfolio is broad, but the recurring awards indicate durable relationships with a core set of organizations.
Grant recipients are entirely in the US, and the foundation gives most often in California. Washington, DC appears frequently among recipient locations, including State Voices, UnidosUS, and The Climate Reality Project. Other recurring hubs include Phoenix, Atlanta, Miami, and Austin, reflecting a strong presence in battleground-state and national advocacy ecosystems. The HQ is in Washington, DC, and 16% of grants go to recipients in DC.
