About Sofi Tucker Foundation

About Sofi Tucker Foundation
A $13,000,000 grant to New Voices Foundation anchors The Sofi Tucker Foundation’s recent giving and shows how concentrated its philanthropy is. The foundation backs organizations that amplify Black women and Black cultural leadership, with a visible preference for mission support rather than restricted project funding. Its recent grants also point to an interest in media and voice-building, leadership development, arts visibility, and community-oriented Black-led institutions. The largest awards are paired with much smaller grants, but the pattern is still deliberate: a handful of recipients receive most of the dollars, while the foundation’s support helps sustain the organizations doing the work. Two other recipients help define the funder’s profile. Madam Cj Walker Institute received both a $402,557 grant in 2025 and a $400,000 grant in 2024, indicating repeated support over time. Prizm Art Fair LLC received $100,000 in 2024 for mission support, extending the foundation’s interest in Black arts platforms. Across the recent list, the foundation appears focused on strengthening organizations that build visibility, capacity, and cultural infrastructure for Black communities.
What Sofi Tucker Foundation Funds
In Black women-led media, the foundation gave $13,000,000 to New Voices Foundation to support organization mission. That award fits a broader pattern of funding platforms that expand visibility and careers for women journalists and other Black cultural voices. In entrepreneurship and leadership, the foundation supported Madam Cj Walker Institute with $402,557 in 2025 and $400,000 in 2024, both for mission support. Those repeated grants suggest sustained backing for an institution-oriented effort rather than a one-time project. The foundation also funds arts visibility. Prizm Art Fair LLC received $100,000 in 2024 to support organization mission, aligning with support for Black arts showcases and market access. A smaller $50,000 grant to Otis and Rosie Brown Foundation shows that community-based Black-led foundations also fit within its giving pattern.
