A pooled resource grantmaker, donor adviser, and donor education organization focused on supporting voter engagement and community organizing, empowering local community-rooted groups with funding, tools, and networking to build long-term civic engagement and leadership.
Clean and Prosperous America’s grantmaking is built around pooled resources that move donor-directed money to community-based organizations doing voter engagement, community organizing, and climate-related civic work. A defining feature is the scale of its organizational support: the recent grants list includes a $2,235,000 grant to Capa Pac in Tumwater, Washington, alongside large support for Focus for Democracy Fund in Washington, DC, and Nebraska Railroaders for Public Safety in Hemingford, Nebraska. That pattern points to a funder that concentrates on infrastructure for civic and political organizing rather than individual projects. The foundation’s active programs show how that strategy is organized. Its Rapid Deployment Fund was designed to move late-cycle electoral resources quickly into grassroots voter engagement, including phone banking, canvassing, rides to polls, text outreach, and ballot curing. Another track, the Youth Community-Oriented Campaign, supports youth-led civic and climate education, voter registration, and peer-to-peer outreach in battleground and competitive geographies. Across these vehicles, the emphasis stays on community-rooted groups with underutilized capacity, year-round organizing, and direct engagement with voters.
Voter engagement is central to the foundation’s work. One recent grant went to Center for Common Ground in Ruther Glen, Virginia, for organizational support, aligning with the funder’s broader emphasis on direct voter engagement and civic participation. Climate engagement appears through grants that combine civic education with climate education. The Youth Community-Oriented Campaign supports youth-oriented organizations conducting climate education, civic leadership, voter registration, and get-out-the-vote activity, while the Education Fund supports community-led 501(c)(3) organizations working on civic and climate engagement. The foundation also backs advocacy and community organizing. It gave $400,000 to Global Impact Social Welfare Fund in Alexandria, Virginia, for direct lobbying, and its pooled grantmaking structure prioritizes groups rooted in the communities they serve and conducting person-to-person outreach. That orientation is reinforced by recurring support for organizational capacity rather than narrowly defined project grants.

Typical grant size sits at $15,000 at the 25th percentile, $25,000 at the median, and $46,840 at the 75th percentile. The recent grants table also shows a long tail of much larger organizational-support awards, including seven-figure and six-figure grants. This is a donor-advised, pooled-resource style funder rather than a foundation making grants from an endowment alone. The grant list suggests recurring relationships: some recipients appear multiple times, including Retire Career Politicians, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Organizing Empowerment Fund, and Ohio Organizing Campaign. Grant programs include both unsolicited mechanisms, such as Rapid Deployment Fund RFPs and the Youth Voting Grants, and donor-directed pooled grants through CaPA Connector and the Strategic Grassroots Empowerment Fund.
Giving is national, with all listed recipient-country data in the United States. By count, Georgia is the top state for grants, even though the headquarters is in Tumwater, Washington. Recent recipients include organizations in Washington, DC; Youngstown and Cleveland, Ohio; New York, New York; and McFarland, Wisconsin. The recipient mix also includes cities such as Atlanta, Detroit, Phoenix, New Orleans, and Arlington, showing a broad spread across battleground and organizational hubs rather than one local region.
It funds community-based organizations working on voter engagement, community organizing, civic engagement, climate advocacy, leadership development, and progressive policy advocacy. The program descriptions also emphasize organizational capacity strengthening, general operating support, and advocacy or lobbying support.
Some programs do. The Rapid Deployment Fund and Youth Voting Grants are marked as accepting unsolicited proposals, and CaPA Connector / pooled grants are also listed as accepting unsolicited grants. The Clean & Prosperous America Education Fund grants are marked differently and are not an unsolicited channel.
The typical grant size is $15,000 at the 25th percentile, $25,000 at the median, and $46,840 at the 75th percentile. The recent grants list also shows larger organizational-support awards, including several grants above $100,000.
The funding pattern leans toward advocacy and organizing infrastructure. Recent grant purposes include organizational support and direct lobbying, and the active programs center on voter engagement, community organizing, progressive policy advocacy, and year-round person-to-person outreach.
Its scope is national, with grants to recipients across the United States. Georgia is the top state by grant count, and recent grants also reached Washington, DC; Ohio; New York; Wisconsin; Virginia; Arizona; Louisiana; Nebraska; and Michigan.
