Advancing bold solutions to the world's most urgent problems
Expert-led grantmaking to deliver outsized impact
The Navigation Fund grants over $60 million annually, led by practitioners with clear, experience-driven views on how change happens. We fund opportunities others often overlook, especially high-risk, high-reward projects in underfunded areas.
Partner With Us
Beyond direct grantmaking, we work with institutional and individual philanthropists through regranting, advising, donor collaborations, and pooled funds that can deploy capital quickly when urgent opportunities arise.
Get ConnectedOur Cause Areas
The Navigation Fund offers grants to high-impact organizations and projects that are taking bold action and making significant changes in the following key areas:
Climate Change
Our Climate Change program supports innovative research and underfunded, high-leverage advocacy initiatives to limit or remove emissions. We also fund the study of interventions that mitigate climate impacts and promote a sustainable future.
Farm Animal Welfare
Factory farming creates both tremendous suffering and significant environmental degradation. We support efforts to reduce animal suffering, reenvision our relationship with animals, and diminish the killing of animals.
Transforming Criminal Justice
Transforming the U.S. criminal legal system requires confronting inequities that perpetuate mass incarceration and overcriminalization. Through a portfolio approach, we support initiatives that promote decarceration, empower system-impacted people and their communities, rectify historical and ongoing injustices, and pave the way for a future free from carceral system reliance.
