About Wallace Genetic Foundation Ii
Wallace Genetic Foundation II Inc has made its largest recent grant to New Venture Fund for the AFDA Project, and that pattern points to a funder that prefers to support work through fiscal sponsors rather than direct operating grants. In the recent-grants record, New Venture Fund appears repeatedly across 2023 through 2026, with awards ranging from mid-six figures to more than $1.5 million, suggesting sustained support for a project housed inside a larger intermediary. The foundation also backs environmental and public-health initiatives through other intermediaries and operating organizations. Catholic Relief Services received multiple grants for WASH in healthcare facilities, while Ceres Inc was funded for a federal policy education program. These grants sit alongside support for Water Engineers for the Americas, the University of North Carolina, and the Santa Fe Community Foundation, showing a mix of advocacy, research, and implementation-oriented funding. The foundation’s stated grantmaking areas include conservation of natural resources, sustainable agriculture, biodiversity protection, reduction of environmental toxins, clean drinking water, and global climate issues, and the recent awards reflect those priorities through both policy and service-delivery projects.
What Wallace Genetic Foundation Ii Funds
A major cause area is WASH in healthcare facilities. Catholic Relief Services received $410,000 in 2025 and again in 2026 for WASH in healthcare facilities, and earlier awards of $307,000 in 2023 and $305,000 in 2024 show the same theme over multiple years. The foundation also supports research and advocacy around the same topic: the University of North Carolina received $180,000 in 2026 for the Water Institute’s research, advocacy, and COP for WASH in healthcare facilities. Another recurring focus is policy education and advocacy. Ceres Inc received $300,000 in 2026, $250,000 in 2025, and $200,000 in 2024 for its federal policy education program. Water and environmental protection also appears through grants to the Santa Fe Community Foundation for a fund to protect New Mexico air, water, and federal public lands, plus a fund for children and the environment.
How Wallace Genetic Foundation Ii Gives
Typical grant size is $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $75,000 at the 75th percentile, though the recent-grants list also shows larger project awards in the hundreds of thousands and over $1 million. The pattern is repeated support rather than isolated one-off gifts: New Venture Fund, Catholic Relief Services, Ceres Inc, Santa Fe Community Foundation, and University of North Carolina each appear in multiple years. The foundation is a regular funder and funds individuals, but the grant record shown here centers on institutional and fiscally sponsored recipients. All recorded giving in the recent-grants list went through organizations rather than a public application process, and the active programs are marked invitation-only.
