About Wallace Global Fund Ii
Wallace Global Fund II backs people-powered movements across democracy, human rights, climate, and corporate accountability, and its recent grants show that approach in practice. In 2025, it gave $300,000 to the American Economic Liberties Project for government and corporate accountability, and $300,000 to Windward Fund for democracy work. It also supported climate and energy justice with $250,000 to Greenfaith for work on energy access and $250,000 to Stand.earth for climate movement building. The foundation’s grantmaking combines core support and project-specific grants, with movement partners appearing across multiple issue areas rather than a single narrow theme. Its funding also reaches gender justice, reproductive rights, disinformation, and environmental justice in Africa, reflecting an integrated portfolio rather than separate, siloed programs. The recent-grants record includes both large awards and recurring support for intermediary organizations that channel resources to broader movement work. That pattern fits a funder that uses grants, investments, and advocacy together to support organizations working at national and global scale.
What Wallace Global Fund Ii Funds
On democracy and civic engagement, Wallace Global Fund II funded Windward Fund, New Venture Fund, Neo Philanthropy, Greenpeace, and Institute for Policy Studies with grants ranging from $180,000 to $500,000 for work to protect and expand democratic systems.

The foundation also supported reproductive health and rights through a $250,000 grant to Planned Parenthood Keystone, and environmental justice in Africa through $200,000 to Earthlife Africa.
