While we are proud of all our grants, there are a few that we consider exceptional for one of three reasons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">First, we want to spotlight our \u201cfirsts\u201d \u2013 those grants where we were either the first funder to step up to support the project or we initiated the project ourselves. These grants are our <strong>Pioneering Grants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Second, we want to highlight those grants from our portfolio that exemplify the diversity of our grantmaking to support sustained collaborations, i.e. the exploration and\/or implementation of nonprofit mergers, back-office consolidations, alliances, and joint programming. These grants are our <strong>Exemplary Collaboration Grants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Third, we want to highlight our investments in special projects and project areas that, although outside of our main focus areas of philanthropy and collaboration, have resulted in substantial impact. These grants are our <strong>Special Project Grants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Before describing these grants, we want to mention what we consider to be our greatest achievement, one that doesn\u2019t fit neatly into one of the three above-referenced categories \u2013 our groundbreaking work in facilitating a movement to promote sustained nonprofit collaboration as a critically important capacity-building tool for the sector. When we established Lodestar\u2019s founding strategy of supporting nonprofits seeking to explore or implement sustained collaborations, we were the only foundation in the country employing this strategy. Today, more than two (2) decades later and after forming a national partnership with SeaChange Capital Partners and subsequent partnerships with like-minded funders around the country, Lodestar is part of a network of over 115 funders in ten (10) communities around the country providing resources to nonprofits to facilitate sustained collaborations. Through leverage, project initiation, public speaking, and scholarship, we are building a field of practice that has the capacity to transform the way nonprofits build sustainability and impact. The Sustained Collaboration Network, described below in our Pioneering Grants, is the culmination of our work in sustained collaboration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0Additional information for many of these grants may be found in the grants database, accessed by clicking the link at the end of the applicable grant summary.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69ef725946f07 {margin-bottom: 100px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69ef725946f07\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69ef725946f2c {margin-top: 70px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69ef725946f2c\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"light\">PIONEERING GRANTS<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69ef725946f7a {margin-top: 35px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69ef725946f7a\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_tta_accordion style=&#8221;flat&#8221; active_section=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Giving Tuesday&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1585630900910-6940f897-a204&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]In 2012, Lodestar was the first foundation to provide a grant to support a new initiative, started by Henry Timms at the 92nd&nbsp;St Y, to designate the Tuesday after Thanksgiving as a day of giving, analogous to the shopping days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. That early investment helped solicit greater institutional grants and catalyze what has become the global phenomenon known as GivingTuesday<strong>.<\/strong> Today, GivingTuesday is an inclusive and pluralistic community of millions of givers, with activity in most every country in the world. In 2025, an estimated $4 billion in donations was given by people in the United States, up 13 percent over the previous year. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodestarfoundation.org\/site\/our-grants\/givingtuesday-a-national-philanthropy-day\">Link to grant<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Alliance for Middle East Peace (ALLMEP)&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1585630900930-7dea8903-e264&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]<a href=\"http:\/\/www.allmep.org\/\">The Alliance for Middle East Peace<\/a>&nbsp;(\u201cALLMEP\u201d) began in 2006 as an all-volunteer fledging network of grassroots organizations comprised of Palestinians and Israelis working together.&nbsp; In 2008, Lodestar was asked to make a grant to support the network; we instead offered, and provided a grant, to retain a consultant to assist in professionalizing the network, transitioning it from an all-volunteer structure to a staffed organization capable of scaling to meet its growth. Lodestar has supported the organization ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Today, it\u2019s a coalition of more than 180 organizations that promote people-to-people coexistence between Arabs and Jews, Israelis, and Palestinians.&nbsp; ALLMEP raises awareness about the work of the member organizations as well as cultivates new and expanded resources to support the overall \u201cgrassroots\u201d peace movement. Importantly, it also advocates for the interests of ALLMEP members before US agencies, Congress, foreign governments, and foundations. As one example, in 2020, it successfully lobbied Congress for a $250 million grant to be used for economic developments created by Palestinian\/Israeli partnerships. In many ways, ALLMEP stands as a case study in how strategic coordination and philanthropy can transform a scattered set of efforts into a movement with real influence and scale.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodestarfoundation.org\/site\/our-grants\/coalition-to-strengthen-middle-eastern-ngos\">Link to grant<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Human Services Campus&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1585631199739-070c5799-7a0e&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]The Phoenix &nbsp;Human Services Campus (now named the Keys to Change Campus) emerged in response to a growing crisis in downtown Phoenix, where the loss of single-room occupancy housing left many individuals experiencing homelessness on the streets and highlighted the inefficiency of a fragmented service system. In the late 1990s, Lodestar\u2019s founder, together with Phoenix lawyer and homeless advocate, Bryan Murphy, established the Alliance Linking Poverty and Homeless Agencies (ALPHA), an early collaboration intended to foster greater coordination among the many organizations serving people experiencing homelessness and poverty. Although it existed only from 1996 to 1998, Alpha initially attracted most of the area&#8217;s homeless agency leaders and many of the leading homeless advocates and reflected an early recognition that a more aligned and collaborative service delivery model was needed. By 2002, civic and government leaders, including Maricopa County Manager David Smith, community leaders Marty Shultz, Mike McQuaid and others, advanced the idea of a centralized campus where major homeless-serving agencies could operate together.&nbsp; Local government offered land and financial support but wanted private participation.&nbsp; Lodestar stepped up by providing an initial planning grant and then serving as the lead private-sector funder, ultimately providing and securing more than $4 million toward what became a $26 million public-private collaboration. That effort resulted in the Human Services Campus where 13 different co-located homeless support agencies have made access to care more efficient, coordinated, and comprehensive for thousands of individuals experiencing homelessness.&nbsp;In 2025, Keys to Change served 21,009 unique individuals on their housing journeys in Maricopa County. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodestarfoundation.org\/site\/our-grants\/collaboration-of-nonprofits-serving-the-homeless\">Link to grant<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Global Forum for Media Development&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1585683597464-64ea3402-c8a5&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]Although there are several hundred NGOs working to support independent print, broadcast and internet media in the developing world, there had never been a substantive opportunity to share information and resources, either informally or through a cooperative association. In 2004, The Lodestar Foundation provided an initial planning grant to convene a small group of globally recognized media support leaders to shape the vision for the first <a href=\"http:\/\/gfmd.info\/\"><strong>Global Forum for Media Development<\/strong><\/a> (GFMD), followed by seed implementation grants of $150,000 (which led to approximately $1,500,000 more in grants from other foundations) to launch the first collaborative conference of independent media support NGOs from around the world, which was hosted in Amman, Jordan, by King Abdullah II, and which created the GFMD.&nbsp; Since then, the GFMD has become a permanent ongoing collaborative organization with currently 224 member organizations, a secretariat office in Brussels, and seven regional operations around the world. <span class=\"TextRun SCXW148865047 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW148865047 BCX0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodestarfoundation.org\/site\/our-grants\/collaboration-of-ngos-supporting-third-world-independent-news-agencies\">Link to grant<\/a><\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Cancer Support Community Arizona, formerly known as The Wellness Community&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1585683660506-45dc46a1-e68f&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]In 1982, Harold Benjamin, a Beverly Hills attorney whose wife had developed breast cancer, became frustrated by how little patients were involved in their own treatment. He left his profession to pioneer a new model centered on patient empowerment and created The Wellness Community in California. This innovative nonprofit provided a place where cancer patients and their loved ones could learn about their diagnosis, actively participate in treatment decisions, engage in a multitude of therapeutic programs, and receive emotional and psychological support\u2014all at no cost. In 1999, cancer survivor Susana Della Magdelena brought this model to Phoenix. With a series of grants and ongoing support from The Lodestar Foundation, The Wellness Community in Phoenix was established and grew into a vital resource for individuals and families navigating cancer.&nbsp; Its 2024 report says for that year, it provided more than 100 programs directly for 2,500 individuals and provided referrals and other assistance to more than 12,000 inquirers.<\/p>\n<p>Lodestar continued to play a catalytic role in strengthening the field more broadly.&nbsp; As further described in the section on exemplary collaboration grants, in 2010 Lodestar supported and facilitated the merger of The Wellness Community, which had grown to 25 locations, and Gilda\u2019s Club, another national provider of no-cost cancer support services, which resulted in the formation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancersupportcommunity.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cancer Support Community Arizona<\/a>, now part of a global network serving communities around the world.&nbsp; As of 2026, the broader Cancer Support Community network has grown to more than 200 locations worldwide.&nbsp;Link to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodestarfoundation.org\/site\/grants\/merger-of-two-national-cancer-organizations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grant<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;The Lodestar Dispute Resolution Center&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1585683721636-90524824-fc0a&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Believing that the widespread and ever-growing use of litigation is hugely wasteful and has fostered a breakdown of civility in our business and personal lives, Lodestar, in 2000, partnered with the Sandra Day O\u2019Connor College of Law at Arizona State University (ASU) to create <a href=\"https:\/\/law.asu.edu\/centers\/lodestar-dispute-resolution\">The Lodestar Alternative Dispute Resolution Center<\/a>. The Center encompasses the training of both lawyers and non-lawyers in various forms of dispute resolution, performing scholarly research in the field, and providing mediation services in various forums. Notable among the accolades received by the Center are the two Dispute Resolution Education Awards bestowed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (the inaugural award in 2005 and a subsequent honor in 2019) for its development of innovative curriculum, research and service in the area of alternative dispute resolution.&nbsp; In 2026, the Center was ranked the 9th best dispute resolution center in the nation by U.S. News &amp; World Report 2026 \u201cBest Graduate School\u201d. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodestarfoundation.org\/site\/our-grants\/the-lodestar-dispute-resolution-center\">Link to grant<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Social Venture Partners Arizona\/Social Venture Partners International&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1585683769563-2cdad899-9e1c&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The increase in wealth of young professionals and baby boomers has provided a fertile environment for encouraging philanthropy in new ways. In 1999, Lodestar founded Social Venture Partners Arizona (\u201dSVPAZ\u201d) patterned on an innovative Seattle-based organization (Social Venture Partners) that had created a philanthropic giving circle with the dual mission of teaching strategic philanthropy to its giving circle members (mostly business entrepreneurs and professionals) and providing from its members, financial and business support to emerging nonprofits.&nbsp; Since its founding, SVPAZ has introduced to active philanthropy more than 600 Phoenix area philanthropists, and in 2024, its current 132 partners celebrated its <a href=\"https:\/\/svpaz.org\/25th-anniversary\/\">25<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;anniversary<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>During the initial development of SVPAZ, Lodestar and the Seattle organization leaders also worked together to refine the SVPAZ organization so it could be used as a model for what has become an international network of SVP organizations &#8211;&nbsp;Social Venture Partners International (\u201cSVPI\u201d)&nbsp; &#8211; that now includes more than 30 SVP affiliates, including 5 additional countries. Lodestar provided the initial funding for SVPI and received a &#8220;First Follower&#8221; award for its role in using the SVPAZ as a model for creating the expanded network. &nbsp;The 2027 annual meeting of SVPI affiliates will be in Mumbai, India. The value of philanthropic contributions across the network is more than $90 million.

In response, commencing in 2009 (and again in 2011 and 2017), Lodestar launched a national project called The Collaboration Prize to identify, collect, and elevate successful models of collaboration and demonstrate its powerful value as a capacity-building strategy. A group of nationally recognized social sector leaders were recruited as judges and prizes of up to $250,000 were awarded to the winning collaborations. The project received more than 650 applications, each detailing real-world collaborations, including ways that overcame obstacles and minimized risks. Lodestar then created the Nonprofit Collaboration Database, a broad-based database searchable by a wide variety of categories and characteristics and partnered with the Foundation Center (now Candid) to house the database on the Foundation Center\u2019s website for public access.&nbsp; However, in 2019 after the Foundation Center merged with GuideStar to form Candid, the database went offline.&nbsp; We are working to putting it back online. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodestarfoundation.org\/site\/our-grants\/nonprofit-collaboration-database-serves-as-repository-of-model-collaborations\">Link to grant<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Free Expression Legal Network&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1585683918623-bee6cd62-67d4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]In 2017, the protections around journalism and free expression were being tested in new and urgent ways. Across the United States, a number of law school clinics were already doing important to support journalists, but largely independent work with no formal structure connecting them. In response, Lodestar provided grants to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press who convened law school clinics from across the country to provide pro bono legal support for public interest journalism. Lodestar then underwrote the cost of a consultant with specialized nonprofit collaboration expertise to facilitate subsequent convenings and guide the process to develop a structured network. In 2019, those efforts culminated in the formal launch of the Free Expression Legal Network (FELN), a coalition of more than 20 law school clinics dedicated to providing legal support to protect journalists. More than 20 faculty leaders from these clinics have joined the Network to share best practices and promote collaboration to better address challenges facing free expression and transparency. Today, FELN is more than a network \u2013 it is a field building initiative that consists of 32 different clinics and other associations. FELN is housed at the University of Virginia. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodestarfoundation.org\/site\/our-grants\/free-expression-legal-network-brings-clinics-and-professors-together\">Link to grant<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Sustained Collaboration Network&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1594845034083-c6b7d1d5-d9b2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Starting in 2010, Lodestar began to promote sustained collaboration as a strategic form of capacity-building, primarily through conference engagements and writings. As the number of funder collaboratives grew, the need to more formally organize became apparent. In 2018 and 2019, Lodestar sponsored annual meetings for board members and staff of foundations participating in existing funder collaboratives supporting sustained collaborations, as well as for the consultants running the collaboratives. Also invited were representatives from cities interested in forming collaboratives. As a result of these meetings, and with significant support from Fidelity Trustees Fund and The Parsons Foundation in addition to Lodestar, the Sustained Collaboration Network, a multifaceted resource network for nonprofit funders and intermediaries supporting sustained collaboration as an important tool for building the capacity and impact of nonprofits, was formed. Lodestar&#8217;s investment leading up to the creation of the network exceeded $350,000.

The building had excess space that was underutilized and not programmatically aligned with IWPR. In 2007, Lodestar provided a technical assistance grant to IWPR for an office-sharing consultant who assisted IWPR to develop a vision of turning the building into the Centre for Crisis Reporting. Currently, leading human rights and media development groups live together to enhance partnership; provide training\/exchange facilities; and establish collaborative media productions, joint events, and other activities to increase impact. <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodestarfoundation.org\/site\/grants\/plan-for-shared-space-shared-services-at-international-news-center\/\">Link to grant<\/a><\/u>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Defending the Rule of Law: Catalyzing Collective Action to Preserve the Independence of the Legal Profession&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1768867716633-2d750bdb-b96d&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]The Lodestar Foundation made a grant to <strong>The Trustees of Princeton University<\/strong> to support a high-level, bipartisan convening focused on safeguarding the independence of the American legal profession at a moment of profound national risk.

Gilda\u2019s Club was founded in 1991 by Gene Wilder and others in memory of his late wife, Gilda Radner (who had been a Wellness Community participant). They created a series of community-based support centers modeled similarly to The Wellness Community. Recognizing their shared mission and the opportunity to strengthen impact, The Lodestar Foundation\u2014through a SeaChange-Lodestar grant in 2010\u2014played a catalytic role in supporting the merger of the two organizations. This collaboration enabled the combined entity to increase operating efficiencies, reduce costs, and better leverage resources to expand training, research, policy, and advocacy efforts. The merger resulted in the formation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancersupportcommunity.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cancer Support Community<\/a>, which has since grown into a global network of more than 200 locations, extending no-cost cancer support services to individuals and families worldwide. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodestarfoundation.org\/site\/our-grants\/merger-of-two-national-cancer-organizations\">Link to grant<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Merger Creates Largest U.S. Investigative Reporting Nonprofit&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1594763437577-744b2e2e-0ea5&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]The Center for Investigative Reporting, the nation&#8217;s oldest, independent nonprofit focused on investigative journalism &#8211; and The Bay Citizen &#8211; a more recently-formed, entrepreneurial, web-based nonprofit focused on local coverage &#8211; merged in April 2012 to form the nation&#8217;s largest nonprofit organization devoted to investigative and accountability reporting.

In 2018, we made a second grant to support due diligence investigation for a full merger of the two organizations.
