Supported purposes include assistance for people in need; youth and families; civil and human rights; education; health and scientific research; arts, culture, and humanities; civic and community affairs; and environmental preservation. Its fiscally sponsored projects work on social change, democracy, economic equality, and climate and sustainability.
Examples of supported organizations illustrate the range of work funded. Way to Rise describes its mission as funding sustained, nonpartisan civic engagement led by state-based organizations and national groups supporting state-based partners. All Voting Is Local says it works on voter access and election safeguards. Other supported organizations include Tides Foundation, which describes its work as advancing equity by shifting resources and power to historically denied communities, and Transgender Law Center, which works to change laws, policies, and attitudes so people can live safely and free from discrimination based on gender identity or expression.
