About Grove Action Fund
Grove Action Fund’s largest recent grants center on Arizona election work and state-level civic infrastructure. In 2025, it gave $750,000 to America Votes for general support and Arizona operations, following a $680,000 grant in 2024 for the same organization’s Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada work, including Native Voters Alliance support. That pattern points to a funder that backs coordinated civic and advocacy efforts rather than isolated projects. The foundation’s recent awards also show sustained support for organizations working in Arizona and New Mexico, including Arizona Wins, Center for Civic Action, Better Future for New Mexico, and Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada Action Fund. Several grants are explicitly tied to operations, project support, or named state initiatives, which suggests a preference for funding organized campaigns, coalitions, and infrastructure. Its scope is broad across advocacy and social welfare issues, with active programs in civic engagement, Black-led power building, immigration, reproductive health, and safety net work. Grove Action Fund also operates as a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization affiliated with Grove Foundation, supporting advocacy and lobbying consistent with its mission to advance resources, respect, belonging, and democratic power for marginalized communities.
