California Donor Table Fund

The California Donor Table Fund is a community of donors who pool and align nonpartisan investments to advance the state’s progressive movement spanning issues and constituencies. Because of our strategic vision, long-term commitment, and agility across tax statuses, we provide opportunities for foundations and institutional investors to fill gaps in our civil ecosystem. We partner with a variety of institutional funders to support intersectional issues by investing in organizations advocating for women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, racial and economic justice, immigrant and workers’ rights, and environmental protection, for the purpose of civic engagement and power building. We shift key levers of power to reinforce long-lasting change by developing leadership pipelines for candidates of color, advocating for community-centered policy and budget decisions, and researching messages that resonate with voters. We believe that all of us—those who advocate for women’s or LGBTQ issues; racial, economic justice or criminal justice; immigrant or workers’ rights; or environmental protection—are only able to win big when we work together. Join us as we focus on building a network that connects all these efforts, making us stronger and more effective.
