Summary

The Progressive Multiplier Grants support U.S. based nonprofits and subsidiaries focused on generating independent revenue through innovative projects. These grants aim to empower organizations working towards democracy, justice, and environmental restoration, fostering civic engagement and equality. By funding campaigns and civic mobilization, the program seeks to build sustained progressive power, avoiding direct service or public education initiatives. Interested parties can submit letters of inquiry on a rolling basis when funding aligns with grant criteria.

Overview

NOTE: We accept LETTERS OF INQUIRY on a rolling basis and invite applications when we have funding available that matches the grant criteria. Types Of Projects That We Fund We support our grantee partners in implementing various independent revenue-generation projects. From optimizing online donation forms to selling climate justice walking tours on AirB&B Experiences to embedding peer-to-peer fundraising in relational organizing, our partners are experimenting with endless ways to grow their revenue. Our Program Areas REALIZING DEMOCRACY We support work that creates informed and engaged communities, sparking civic participation and empowering them to hold companies and lawmakers accountable for the fair and equitable treatment of all people and communities. ACHIEVING JUSTICE We support work that addresses the barriers to equality that people face because of who they are, what they believe, a condition they have, something they have done or are trying to do, or a role they have (i.e gender justice, racial justice, LGBTQ rights, religious freedom, HIV/AIDS, immigration rights, economic justice, parental rights, education, incarceration, etc) RESTORING THE ENVIRONMENT We support work that protects and restores our earth and addresses the right that all people have to a clean and healthy environment.

Eligibility

You can learn more about this opportunity by visiting the funder's website. The Progressive Multiplier awards grants to U.S based nonprofits and subsidiaries with 501 (c)(3)s, 501(c)(4)s, projects housed in these entities, or LLCs in which a 501 (c)(3) or (c)(4) are the only members. Our goal is to grow the revenue generation capacity of groups that spend most of their resources doing work that adds up to government, corporations, or courts making decisions to affect widespread change. We believe this is the most efficient path to building sustained progressive power. This work includes running campaigns, organizing, litigating, or doing civic engagement and mobilizing to educate decision-makers. At this time, we are not able to fund organizations that are primarily doing direct service or public education.
