WELLSPRING PHILANTHROPIC FUND INC
About this foundation
Wellspring Philanthropic Fund supported the realization of human rights and social and economic justice. The homepage states the fund launched in 2001 and after 25 years of grantmaking the Board decided in August 2024 to wind down the foundation, which will cease operations and grantmaking by or before the end of 2028. Wellspring says its investments reflected a commitment to promoting the realization of human rights and access to economic justice and that it focused on addressing systemic drivers of inequity, building power among marginalized communities, and countering structural discrimination. The site notes Wellspring has supported thousands of organizations in the U.S. and across the globe.
