Faith in Action Network predominantly funds faith-rooted community organizing and civic power-building networks that advance racial, economic, and social justice through state and local coalitions. The foundation favors national intermediaries and state “Faith in…” affiliates, providing sizable grants and regrants to infrastructure organizations that run voter engagement, leadership development, and local organizing campaigns. Its portfolio is distinctive for supporting networked, faith-based civic power rather than standalone service providers.
Concentrated, strategic support to a relatively small set of network and intermediary organizations: large multi-hundred-thousand-dollar grants to national/state hubs plus repeated grants to core partners and regranting funds. Grants are programmatic and organizationally focused (national initiatives and regrant pools) rather than many one-off small gifts, with geographic spread across multiple states through affiliated chapters.
Faith in Action Network’s recent giving is defined by large, network-level grants to faith-based civic organizing groups. The biggest awards in the file went to The Foundation for Social Impact for $1,849,730 and Community Initiatives for $1,766,408, both labeled national initiatives, which signals a preference for infrastructure that can move resources across multiple places rather than single-site service programs. The same pattern appears in support for Pico California at $1,500,000 and the Faith in Action Fund at $1,500,000, alongside Force Detroit Inc at $902,715. These grants point to a portfolio centered on faith-rooted organizing, coalition building, and civic power work. The foundation also backs state affiliates and regional hubs, including Faith in Florida, Faith in Nevada, and Faith in New York, suggesting that it funds both national intermediaries and local organizing vehicles. Across the recent grants list, the emphasis is on organizations that can coordinate campaigns, train leaders, and regrant to community partners within broader racial, economic, and social justice efforts.
Faith in Action Network gives heavily to faith-based organizing infrastructure. In 2023, it awarded $1,500,000 to Faith in Action Fund for a national initiative, and $422,884 to Faith in Action Bay Area for another national initiative. It also supported Faith in Indiana with $133,635 and Faith in Texas with $114,000, both tied to statewide civic organizing. A separate cluster goes to intermediary and regranting organizations: Community Initiatives received $1,766,408, and The Foundation for Social Impact received $1,849,730, each marked national initiative. Regional coalitions are part of the mix as well, including Vermont Interfaith Action at $102,000 and Live Free Chicago at $156,073. The pattern suggests support for organizations that build organizing capacity across faith communities, states, and metro areas.
Typical grants sit at a median of $91,500, with a lower quartile of $38,750 and an upper quartile of $188,471. The recent list shows both very large national-initiative awards and smaller general-assistance or regranting grants, indicating a mix of multi-year infrastructure support and flexible operating support. Recipients also appear in more than one year: Faith in Florida, Faith in Nevada, and Nm Comunidades En Accion Y De Fe each show awards in 2023 and 2024 or 2025. Faith in Action Network is a public charity, not a private foundation, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
