Public Wise Grants

Public Wise Grants aims to enhance democracy by providing unrestricted operational funding to organizations committed to voting rights. Established in 2019, Public Wise focuses on grassroots efforts to ensure equitable representation and access to the ballot, particularly in key states like Michigan and Georgia.

We accomplish this through education, research, organizing, funding, and partnerships that support more voting and more equitable representation.
Public Wise is a 501c4 formed at the end of 2019 with the mission to create a government that reflects the will of the people. We provide unrestricted, operational grants for organizations working on voting rights and democracy.
Grant Opportunities
Public Wise grants are specifically designated as unrestricted, operational funds for groups working on the frontlines of the voter rights fight, both at the grassroots and national level.
Our current funding supports efforts to ensure access to the ballot, help voters create voting plans, litigate against voter suppression, and build power in BIPOC communities.

Eligibility

We partner with 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations engaged in voting rights and democracy access work across the country. Our priority states for grant funding are currently Michigan, Arizona, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
