About Americans for Prosperity
Americans for Prosperity gave two large general-support grants to Mackinac Center Action across 2024 and 2025, totaling $550,000. That repeat funding stands out in a portfolio built around public policy and advocacy groups working on economic policy, health care policy, immigration policy, criminal justice reform, education policy, and civic engagement. The foundation’s recent awards also show support for organizations that operate in state-based policy and business advocacy spaces, including America Is Better, National Immigration Forum, Jersey First, and Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty. The pattern is broad but not diffuse: grants are framed as general support and flexible organizational support rather than project-specific awards. Several recipients appear in more than one year, which points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated transactions. The mix of recipients suggests a funder interested in policy-oriented nonprofits that shape debate and public action at the state and national levels. Across the recent grants list, Americans for Prosperity backs organizations that work on issues tied to regulation, immigration, business climate, and civic participation.
What Americans for Prosperity Funds
In public policy and advocacy, Americans for Prosperity gave $300,000 to Mackinac Center Action for general support and $150,000 to National Immigration Forum for general support. Those awards align with the foundation’s stated focus on public policy, advocacy, and immigration policy. State-level economic and business policy also appears in the portfolio. The foundation gave $75,000 to Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty for general support and $50,000 to Manufacturer and Business Association for general support. Related awards to ShowMe Prosperity and Ohio Works Inc suggest attention to organizations working in state policy settings. Civic and policy-aligned groups recur as well. Jersey First received $108,000 for general support, while America Is Better received $260,869 for general support. Each grant is framed flexibly, which indicates support for organizational capacity rather than narrow project funding.
How Americans for Prosperity Gives

Recent recipients appear across both 2024 and 2025, including repeated support for Mackinac Center Action, Jersey First, American Oil & Gas Alliance dba AOGA Inc, Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce Inc, and Manufacturer and Business Association.
