Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems by providing partners access to funding, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.
Stand Together Chamber of Commerce Inc backs large, often unrestricted grants to a small set of repeat partners. The clearest signal in the recent record is its support for Americans for Prosperity, which received $130,000,000 in 2024 and $121,000,000 in 2025 for general operating support, after a $60,000,000 grant in 2023. A second major recipient is Americans for Prosperity Action, which received $26,500,000 in 2023, $25,000,000 in 2024, and $22,800,000 in 2025. Those awards show a pattern of sustained funding at very large scale rather than one-time project grants. The foundation also funds a broader set of nonprofit partners across education, policy, community development, workforce, media, and addiction and mental health. Several recent grants are framed as general operating support or general support, and the list includes recurring support for organizations in Virginia, Washington, DC, California, New York, Arizona, and Texas. Its overall approach centers on providing partners with funding and organizational support rather than individuals or program-related investments.
In policy and advocacy, Stand Together Chamber of Commerce Inc funded People United for Privacy with $345,000 in 2023 for general support, and Better Organizing to Win Legalization with $45,000 in 2024 for general operating support.

Education appears in the recent record through $2,800,000 to Yes Every Kid in 2023 for general support and $128,500 to Per Scholas Inc in 2024 for general operating support. For entrepreneurship and social capital, the foundation gave $25,000 in 2024 to The Clapham Group LLC for a social capital campaign.
