We’re more than a funder—we work across a many areas to provide our grantees with the support they deserve. Besides grants, we collaborate w/ other philanthropy orgs to expand resources for critical grassroots movements. Intersectional movements deserve comprehensive support!

The movements we support are people-powered #Grassroots efforts on the local, national, and global scales. Many of our grantees are led by women and young people. These inspiring leaders are fighting for a more #Sustainable and equitable future that leaves no one behind.

Our investing is mission-aligned, meaning we intentionally invest in transformative social and environmental change rather than destructive industries like #FossilFuels. This makes a positive impact and we see excellent returns.

Henry A. Wallace is our founder, a visionary progressive leader who was VP to FDR. Wallace championed #Equality and #HumanDignity—paving the way for our work supporting people-powered movements that advance democracy, protect human rights, and fight for a healthy planet.
