Our Grants

We invest in creative thinkers who imagine a better future and in problem solvers who turn ideas into action. We promote constructive dialogue across difference, and we provide reliable, responsive, and strategic support to our partners. In 2024, the foundation awarded $631 million in grants, with nearly three-fourths of that total awarded as flexible funding. At any one time, we have about 3,000 active grants to organizations around the world. That includes support to organizations large and small — from research universities building public knowledge to community-based organizations meeting on-the-ground needs, from Bay Area artists engaging local audiences to African think tanks developing policy solutions. As of December 31, 2024, the foundation’s assets were approximately $13.9 billion.
