About Majority Forward
Majority Forward’s recent grantmaking is dominated by seven-figure transfers to election and advocacy groups in Washington, DC, including a $53,750,000 grant to Smp in 2024 and a $40,870,000 grant to America Votes the same year. The foundation is organized as a pure DAF provider and reports annual grants of $138,901,116 against total assets of $17,655,980 in its latest 990 year on file. Its work is tied to civic engagement, elections, political advocacy, and voter mobilization, with support framed as general support, unrestricted support, and core organizational support across the recent grants list. That pattern shows a funder built around large, flexible awards rather than small project grants. The recurring relationship with Smp stands out: the group received $23,000,000 in 2023 and then $53,750,000 in 2024, both for general support. Other sizable recipients include Duty and Honor at $7,051,000 in 2024 and Priorities USA at $3,495,616 in 2023. These grants place Majority Forward in the center of coordinated electoral and social welfare-related advocacy funding, with most awards staying within Washington, DC organizations.

Smaller grants to Equislabs and Strategic Victory Fund, both classified as social welfare in 2024, indicate continued support for organizations operating in the political advocacy ecosystem.
