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!

[Wallace Global Fund @WallaceGlobal]

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.

[Wallace Global Fund @WallaceGlobal]

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.

[Wallace Global Fund @WallaceGlobal]

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.

The #climate crisis demands far greater action than what emerged from #COP29. @fossiltreaty brought together 125 climate champions to launch an open letter urging a plan to #EndFossilFuels. We need action. We need a Fossil Fuel Treaty.
