Wallace Global Fund

Wallace Global Fund is dedicated to supporting people-powered movements that advance democracy, protect human rights, and fight for a healthy planet. We are inspired by the legacy of our founder, Henry A. Wallace, the visionary progressive leader who served as the 33rd Vice President of the United States under Franklin D. Roosevelt, and who championed a strong government that advances equality and human dignity for all.

“Democracy must put people first and dollars second. Stand up and fight for your rights!”
– Henry A. Wallace

Wallace Global Fund believes society’s changes are fundamentally interconnected, and so our approach to philanthropy must be intersectional. We are committed to supporting transformative change by partnering with social movements and allied organizations to catalyze solutions to critical issues including democracy, environment, corporate accountability, and women’s rights.

To address the urgency of the moment, we pursue an integrated approach using all of the foundation’s assets – grants, investments, and our advocacy voice – in service of our mission. We have accelerated our pace of giving to meet the urgent challenges of our time.
