BEMC 4 ASSOCIATION concentrates almost all of its giving on civic engagement and electoral participation initiatives, funding national organizations that run large-scale voter contact and turnout programs. Grants are directed toward operational and program support for groups that deploy targeted voter outreach tools (mail, SMS, volunteer letter writing) and nonpartisan/issue-driven voter information efforts. The foundation’s portfolio indicates an emphasis on scalable, tech-enabled mobilization in the U.S. electoral context.
Highly concentrated: very few, very large grants focused on election-cycle impact. Favorable to operational/program support for national-scale organizations and technology-driven contact methods rather than small local groups.
