Population-Focused Funds

Population-focused funds are giving vehicles established by and for members of racial, ethnic, tribal, gender- and sexual-orientation-based communities to address critical issues within those communities.

D5′s directory contains entries for over 400 population-focused funds throughout the United States, serving African American, Arab American / Middle Eastern, Asian / Pacific Islander, Hispanic / Latino, Native American, women, and LGBTQ communities. Data is sourced through the Foundation Center and supplemented with data from D5 research.

This project was managed by Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors in partnership with the Foundation Center. Funds currently in the directory have been identified through ongoing research and outreach. If you are a fund that meets the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the directory and would like to be added, contact us.
