Strategic Victory Fund

About Strategic Victory Fund

Strategic Victory Fund’s recent giving is defined by large, repeated investments in state-level progressive infrastructure. One of the clearest examples is its support for Progress Now in Lansing, Michigan, which received $9.7 million in 2025 for general support. The fund also made substantial general-support grants to Progress NC Action in Raleigh, PA Alliance Action in Philadelphia, and Millions of Michiganians in Lansing, showing a pattern of backing organizations that operate inside key states rather than through a single national intermediary. Across the recent grants list, the foundation consistently funds civic action funds, communications groups, and election-related organizations that support pro-democracy outcomes. Several recipients appear multiple times across different years, including State Victory Action, Michigan Civic Action, Progress Michigan, and Together Wisconsin Acts, suggesting sustained relationships rather than isolated awards. The fund also appears in issue-specific work, including Arizona of Abortion Access in Phoenix, indicating that its portfolio can extend beyond core infrastructure into targeted advocacy in battleground states. The structure of the awards points to substantial, program-wide backing. Many grants are labeled general support, while others are tied to accountability work or state investment contributions. That mix shows a funder focused on long-term state organizing capacity as well as immediate election-cycle needs.

What Strategic Victory Fund Funds

Strategic Victory Fund gives heavily to state-based communications and research networks. In Michigan, it awarded $9.7 million to Progress Now and $2.15 million to Progress Now Education, both in Lansing, reflecting support for messaging and education work alongside broader state infrastructure. It also backs voter engagement and civic action operations in battleground states. Make North Carolina First in Raleigh received $2.84 million in 2025, and Win Minnesota in St. Paul received $1.25 million in 2023 for general support and accountability work. In Wisconsin, Together Wisconsin Acts in Milwaukee received multiple grants across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including awards of $1.95 million, $1.925 million, $1.8 million, $1.89 million, and $1 million. Issue-specific advocacy appears as well. Arizona of Abortion Access in Phoenix received $2 million in 2025 for general support, showing that the foundation sometimes funds targeted policy work within its broader state-level strategy.
