Proteus Fund

Proteus Fund partners with foundations, advocates, and individual donors to advance democracy, human rights and peace.

For more than a quarter-century Proteus has deployed creative and bold strategies to organize funders around the resourcing of social justice movements through our Donor Collaboratives,

nurture and support a wide variety of social change initiatives through our Fiscal Sponsorships, and partner with funders through our Donor Advised Funds. Through these dynamic efforts,

we strive to change hearts and minds, public policy, law, and culture while also working to evolve philanthropic practice.

To date, Proteus Fund, and its associated organizations, including the Proteus Action League, have distributed approximately $250 million in grants and also provided other essential tools to

support activists and advocates, experienced and emerging leaders, organizations, networks, coalitions, and issue-specific campaigns at the local, state, and national level. Proteus Fund’s

deep experience in philanthropy, coupled with our collaborative field-facing approach with grantees and Fiscally Sponsored Projects, have enabled us to identify gaps, challenges, and

opportunities to fuel effective progressive work and play a critical role in achieving pivotal social justice victories.
