The foundation is singularly focused on electoral and democracy reform work, funneling almost all of its resources into campaign-focused organizations that influence redistricting, campaign finance, and voter mobilization. It makes very large, concentrated grants to national policy actors and targeted mid- to small-size disbursements to state-level advocacy and party-aligned campaign infrastructure. The giving is tactical and electoral in orientation rather than general civic or nonprofit capacity-building.
Highly concentrated, dominated by a single very large grant to a national advocacy group, supplemented by a few mid-size grants to civic action organizations and several small, targeted campaign grants; funding is campaign-oriented and focused on electoral outcomes rather than broad program grants.
National Redistricting Action’s recent giving is dominated by campaign support for election-law and democracy groups, with a single 2023 grant of $10,991,000 to End Citizens United and a $1,657,000 grant to Center for Civic Action. That pattern shows a funder built for political timing rather than broad operating support: nearly every listed grant is labeled campaign support, and the recipients are organizations working in redistricting, campaign finance, voter mobilization, and ballot strategy. The foundation’s 2023 portfolio also reaches state-level campaign infrastructure. It gave to Florida-based Floridian Democracy Project, Alabama House Democratic Caucus Inc, and The Democracy Project II in Raleigh, along with national advocates such as America Votes, Collective Future, and Ballot Initiative Strategy Center. The grant list suggests a tactical approach that combines large checks to national actors with smaller awards to state projects tied to specific campaign efforts. Its mission is consistent across the recent record: support organizations engaged in electoral and democracy reform work, especially around redistricting, campaign finance, and pro-democracy campaigning. The grants are project-restricted and time-limited in character, with the foundation acting as a concentrated source of campaign funding rather than a general grantmaker.
Campaign finance reform is a central theme. In 2023, National Redistricting Action gave $10,991,000 to End Citizens United for campaign support, aligning the foundation with anti-Citizens United advocacy and election-law work. Redistricting and democracy protection also appear in the recent grants list. It awarded $1,657,000 to Center for Civic Action in Albuquerque for campaign support, alongside smaller campaign grants to Collective Future in Washington, DC and America Votes in Washington, DC. State-level electoral infrastructure is another clear lane. The foundation gave $50,000 to The Democracy Project II in Raleigh, $30,000 to Floridian Democracy Project in Orlando, and $25,000 to Alabama House Democratic Caucus Inc in Montgomery, each for campaign support. It also backed ballot strategy through a $5,000 grant to Ballot Initiative Strategy Center in Washington, DC.
National Redistricting Action makes concentrated campaign-support grants, with a typical grant size of $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $40,000 at the median, and $76,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent list shows a highly skewed distribution: one very large grant accounts for much of the year’s giving, while the rest are smaller project awards. The grants shown are all from 2023, so the available record points to one-year, time-limited support rather than recurring multi-year awards. The foundation is organized as a public charity, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The listed grants are all labeled campaign support.
