Working Families Organization

About Working Families Organization

Working Families Organization Inc channels large-scale political and organizing support into candidates, coalitions, and movement infrastructure built around working people’s power. Its recent grants include $2.2 million to Wf Party Building Account and $2 million to Right to the City Alliance, alongside major support for party-building accounts, national committees, and state-level organizing vehicles. The pattern points to a funder that mixes electoral work with public-policy and movement support rather than a narrow issue-only grantmaker. The foundation’s grantmaking also reaches groups working on racial justice, worker rights, democracy, youth organizing, and local power. In the recent-grants list, it backed organizations such as Children and Teachers Foundation of the Ctu, Democracyfirst, and Black Organizing for Leadership & Dignity, while also supporting regranting and intermediary structures that move resources into state and local campaigns. Its summary statement describes a goal of building a multiracial party and movement to elect people-powered candidates and win policies for higher wages, racial and economic justice, stronger public services, and a more democratic society. That mission shows up across both its electoral and community-organizing grants.

What Working Families Organization Funds

Electoral politics is a core lane. In 2025, Working Families Organization Inc gave $1.5 million to Wfp National Party Building for party-building work, and in 2024 it gave $1 million to Wf Party Building Account. Those awards sit alongside other support for committees and PAC-related accounts, showing a sustained role in political infrastructure. Worker rights and wages appear through labor and allied organizations. The foundation gave $700,000 to Children and Teachers Foundation of the Ctu for a 501(c)(3) general support grant, and $505,650 to 9to5 in 2023. It also supported grassroots democracy and organizing vehicles such as Democracyfirst with $575,000 in 2025. Racial and Indigenous justice shows up through movement intermediaries and community funds. Grants include $325,000 to Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples for a contribution-exec / C3 subgrant and $325,000 to Allied Media Projects for the Decolonizing Wealth Project. Youth organizing also appears in the taxonomy and beneficiary profile, including youth-led and faith-based youth groups.
