The Wild Gifting Project

The foundation's mission is to deliver grants that foster unique charitable projects, with an intentionally expansive scope. The organization seeks to find "unseen acts of grace and generosity that need encouragement (and some cash), regardless of focus," operating under the belief that "the world needs more obviously good things."

The foundation is especially interested in projects that are:

• Experimental: New approaches to tackling difficult problems
• Hard To Measure: Where "good" and "effective" results aren't always obvious or immediate
• Neglected: Benefiting people who are overlooked, under-served, or dehumanized
• Misfit: Needs that fall between standard charities or don't fit into normal giving categories or budgets

Current program areas include:

• Healing Justice Fund: Identifies and rectifies charitable needs and programs in areas of social justice impacting Black and Indigenous people that don't fit neatly into standard charitable programs. Delivers support for grassroots organizations and mutual aid work in the Southern and Midwest United States.

• Specific Moments of Charitable Need: Identifies and rectifies individual charitable needs that don't fit neatly into standard charitable programs. Delivers support for housing, utilities, food, transportation, and other basic needs to individuals, families, and children impacted by low income and/or temporary financial hardship.

• ReparationWorks: Supports white leaders and organizations in examining their relationship to capitalism and wealth and in moving toward reparations. Offers training and infrastructure for other organizations and groups to develop reparations policies and systems.
