MYWIRELESSORG is a Washington, DC–based funder focused on technology policy and free‑market public policy advocacy. Its grants concentrate on think tanks, policy institutes, and advocacy groups that work on telecommunications, digital innovation, taxpayer oversight, and regulatory reform, with recurring support for both centrist and conservative/libertarian organizations. The foundation also funds targeted civic and sectoral groups (Asian American, Native American, Hispanic, and LGBT technology organizations) that intersect with digital inclusion and policy engagement.
Concentrated, repeat giving to policy and advocacy organizations: many mid‑sized recurring grants across a stable portfolio of think tanks and advocacy groups rather than one‑off small gifts. Mix of program/partner support and membership dues, with most dollars going to a handful of high‑profile policy centers.
Mywirelessorg’s recent giving is defined by repeated general-support grants to policy institutions working on telecommunications, digital innovation, and regulatory reform. The largest awards in the record went to The Free State Foundation Inc., which received $110,000 in both 2024 and 2025 after a $100,000 grant in 2023. Information Tech & Innovation Foundation also appears across three consecutive years, with $60,000 grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern shows a funder that favors steady support rather than one-off project bets. The foundation’s portfolio also includes groups tied to taxpayer advocacy and free-market policy, alongside organizations focused on technology engagement within Asian Pacific, LGBT, and other civic communities. Several grants are labeled general support, while a smaller share is tied to partner support or membership-style backing. The presence of recurring grants to policy and advocacy organizations suggests a relationship-based grantmaking approach centered on sustaining institutions that shape debate over technology and public policy. Across the recent grants list, the same core themes reappear: tech policy research, regulatory restraint, and civic participation in digital issues.
Technology policy research is a major thread in Mywirelessorg’s giving. The foundation gave $60,000 in 2025 to Information Tech & Innovation Foundation for general support and $40,000 in 2025 to Digital Progress Institute for general support, both of which align with digital innovation policy. It also backs organizations focused on tax and regulatory issues. In 2025, American for Tax Reform received $50,000 for general support, while Citizens Against Gov't Waste received $30,000 for general support the same year. Those grants fit a broader pattern of support for free-market and oversight-oriented advocacy. A third area is technology-related civic engagement. Asian Pacific American Advocates received $35,000 in 2025 for general support, and Lgbt Technology Institute received $45,000 in 2025 for general support. Digital Promise Global also received $30,000 in 2024 for partner support, showing that the foundation sometimes uses collaboration-oriented funding alongside unrestricted grants.
Typical grants fall in a mid-five-figure band: the p25 is $10,000, the median is $20,000, and the p75 is $28,750. The recent record is dominated by general support, with a smaller number of partner support awards and membership-style support. Recurrence is a clear feature: several recipients appear in multiple years, including The Free State Foundation Inc., Information Tech & Innovation Foundation, and American Consumer Institute. Mywirelessorg is classified as a pure DAF provider, and the available grant list does not show individual or program-related investment activity.

Grantmaking is overwhelmingly U.S.-based, with 89 grants going to U.S. recipients in the recent dataset. Washington, DC appears frequently among recipient locations, alongside Potomac, Maryland; Staunton, Virginia; Mountain Brook, Alabama; and other U.S. cities. By grant count, Arizona is the top state where the foundation gives most often, even though 69% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state of DC. The recipient-country distribution in the data is entirely domestic.
The recent grants point to technology policy and public-policy advocacy groups, including think tanks, policy institutes, taxpayer advocacy organizations, and civic groups tied to Asian Pacific, LGBT, and digital engagement work. Many awards are labeled general support, with some partner support and membership-related funding.
The grant-size distribution centers on moderate awards: p25 is $10,000, median grant size is $20,000, and p75 is $28,750. In the recent list, many grants cluster between $25,000 and $60,000, with a few larger general-support awards above $100,000.
Yes. Several organizations appear in multiple years, including The Free State Foundation Inc. in 2023, 2024, and 2025; Information Tech & Innovation Foundation in 2023, 2024, and 2025; and American Consumer Institute in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That suggests recurring support is common.
The data shows four recurring themes: telecommunications and digital policy research, free-market and regulatory reform advocacy, civic technology engagement for Asian Pacific, Native American, Hispanic, and LGBT communities, and online-safety or industry partnership support. The recent grants align with those themes through general support and partner support awards.
