A 501(c)(3) public charity that supports policies and organizations advancing healthcare access (including preserving Medicaid), reproductive rights, and economic justice for working families.
A single $91.5 million grant to Our American Future Action anchors this foundation’s recent giving and shows the scale at which it works. Our American Future Foundation pairs that large charitable award with a smaller, parallel pattern of general-support grants to policy and advocacy groups focused on healthcare access, reproductive rights, worker power, and economic justice. The foundation’s recent grant list also includes support for organizations working on Medicaid preservation, abortion access, early childhood education, family supports, and legal advocacy. Its grantmaking is concentrated in the District of Columbia, with all listed recipients located in the United States and many awards made to groups in DC and nearby policy ecosystems. The foundation’s profile points to a public charity funding broad, portfolio-style work rather than a single issue or one-off campaign. In the recent grants, recipients range from health policy organizations to family and education groups, suggesting a mix of issue-area and coalition support. Our American Future Foundation’s structure also includes a related award to Our American Future Action for expanding economic opportunity, reinforcing a focus on policy and advocacy as tools for low-income communities and economically disadvantaged individuals.
In healthcare access, the foundation gave $25,000 to Consumers for Affordable HC for general support and $20,000 to Committee to Protect HealthCa for general support. Those grants sit alongside larger support for policy work tied to Medicaid preservation and broader health access. Family and early childhood priorities also appear in the 2025 awards. Maryland Family Network Inc received $60,000 for general support, while Maine Childrens Alliance received $20,000 and Maine Womens Lobby Ed Fund received $20,000, both for general support. The presence of these groups points to family supports and child-focused advocacy within the portfolio. The foundation also funds reproductive rights and legal advocacy. Southwest Womens Law Center received $20,000 for general support, and Towards Justice of Colorado received $35,000 for general support. Together with the health-related awards, these grants show a preference for policy-oriented organizations rather than direct-service programs alone.

The median recent grant size is $4,725,000, and the p25 and p75 are the same, which indicates a highly clustered distribution around one large award size. The recent record is also mixed: one very large grant in 2025, one matching-sized award in 2024, and a set of much smaller general-support grants in 2025. That pattern suggests a combination of major strategic funding and smaller portfolio grants. The foundation is a public charity, not a funder of individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. The available data shows repeated support for related organizations in the same policy network, including Our American Future Action across two years.
Grantmaking is local and entirely U.S.-based in the recent sample, with 100% of grants going to recipients in the United States. DC is the top recipient state by grant count, and Washington, DC appears repeatedly among awardees. Other recent grants reached Baltimore and Denver, along with Augusta, Albuquerque, Chicago, Charleston, Grand Rapids, and Maine and Colorado-based policy organizations. The geography suggests a concentrated policy footprint with some support to aligned groups outside DC.
Recent grants align with healthcare access, Medicaid preservation, reproductive rights and abortion access, worker power and economic justice, early childhood education and family supports, and legal and policy advocacy. The named awards include health policy groups, family-network organizations, and advocacy groups working on these issues.
The recent grant-size distribution is tightly clustered: p25, median, and p75 are all $4,725,000. The recent list also includes a much larger $91.5 million grant, showing that the foundation combines a flagship award with smaller general-support grants.
The grantmaking is local, and every listed recent recipient is in the United States. DC is the top state by grant count, and Washington, DC recipients appear in the recent grants list alongside organizations in Maryland, Colorado, Maine, New Mexico, Illinois, West Virginia, and Michigan.
No. The profile indicates that it funds organizations rather than individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. The recent awards are all organizational grants, many labeled general support.
Yes. Our American Future Action appears in both 2024 and 2025, with a $4,725,000 award in 2024 and a $91.5 million award in 2025. That suggests at least one recurring organizational relationship in the foundation’s recent giving.
