About Us

The Sixteen Thirty Fund believes in the power of new ideas, creative partnerships, and emerging leaders to achieve meaningful and lasting solutions to the most pressing challenges of our time. We help changemakers maximize their impact by providing operational support that allows them to focus on advancing their core missions.

“As progressives, we have a responsibility to mobilize in the face of societal challenges and provide new investments and initiatives to advocate for what we believe in—from addressing climate change, to protecting voting rights and access to health care, to promoting equity and social justice. Our democracy depends on people making their voices heard, and we believe that advocacy is the backbone of our democracy.”
