Sixteenthirtylogo.png
Basic facts
Location:Washington D.C.
Type:501(c)(4)
Top official:Amy Kurtz, President
Year founded:2009
Website:Official website

The Sixteen Thirty Fund is a 501(c)(4) that provides organizational support and guidance to new nonprofits. The organization was founded in 2009.[1] According to its website, the group "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."[2] As of September 2025, Arabella Advisors managed the fund.

  • From 2016 to 2024, Ballotpedia tracked $102 million in contributions from the Sixteen Thirty Fund to 45 state ballot measure campaigns.
  • Background

    Eric Kessler, Brian Kathman, and Molly McUsic founded the organization in 2009 with grant money from Americans United for Change, Working America, ACORN, USAction, and the Sierra Club.[1] Kessler is the founder and executive director of Arabella Advisors and a former White House appointee under President Bill Clinton (D).[3]

    Sixteen Thirty Fund president Amy Kurtz said, "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."[4]

    Leadership

    As of 2023, the following individuals held leadership positions at the Sixteen Thirty Fund:[5]

    • Amy Kurtz, president
    • Ryan Johnson, project director
    • Nilofar Ganjaie, project director
    • Carl Walz, campaigns director
    • Patricia Kupfer, campaigns director
    • Amy Steinhoff, campaigns director

    Work and activities

    Services

    According to its website, the Sixteen Thirty Fund provides "day-to-day administrative support to new public-interest projects, including providing fiscal sponsorship, helping develop and manage budgets, assisting with payroll and benefits, understanding and complying with national and state laws and regulations, and getting advice and support from a network of other experts in nonprofit management."[6]

    Sixteen Thirty Fund described its support model as follows:[7]

    • Sixteen Thirty Fund is a platform to help nonprofits, advocates, institutions, and progressive causes quickly and efficiently launch new projects. Interested projects approach Sixteen Thirty Fund and together they determine if the partnership is a good match.
    • Once Sixteen Thirty Fund becomes a project’s fiscal sponsor, the project is able to quickly launch and get to work while operating under Sixteen Thirty Fund’s legal and tax-exempt status.
    • Like other fiscal sponsors, Sixteen Thirty Fund is not the original source of funding for the projects it incubates. When a foundation or funder makes a donation to support a project, the fiscal sponsor receives the donation on behalf of the project. Sixteen Thirty Fund follows all local, state, and federal law with respect to the disclosure of individual donors.
    • Instead of projects setting up their own infrastructure, which is time-consuming and expensive, Sixteen Thirty Fund provides projects with a variety of administrative supports, such as legal and compliance, HR, and accounting and payroll. This streamlined model means projects can launch within weeks rather than months or even years.
    • Once a project has been incubated, the project can choose to have Sixteen Thirty Fund remain its fiscal sponsor, become its own independently operating entity, or in some cases, end its activities.[8]

    Ballot measure activity

    2023 activity

    In 2024, Politico reported that Sixteen Thirty Fund raised more than $181 million in 2023 and spent $141.3 million.[9] That included $8.2 million in donations to North Fund, giving $8.2 million to two groups supporting Ohio Issue 1, Right to Make Reproductive Decisions Including Abortion Initiative, $5.6 million in contributions to oppose Ohio Issue 1, 60% Vote Requirement to Approve Constitutional Amendments Measure, and $1.9 million in giving to support Nebraska Initiative 436, Paid Sick Leave Initiative.[9] The organization also gave $1 million in support of the Congressional Integrity Project, whose website said it is "focused on revealing how those in power are empowering special interests."[9][10]

    2022 activity

    In 2023, NBC News reported that the Sixteen Thirty Fund spent $196 million supporting ballot measures on abortion rights, as well as Democratic-aligned groups.[11] That includes $20.7 million in donations to America Votes, which calls itself a "coordination hub" for progressive organizations.[12] Sixteen Thirty Fund also gave $10.4 million in support of Michigan Proposal 2, Voting Policies in Constitution Amendment, $5.8 million to Michigan Proposal 3, Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative and $1.4 million to oppose Kansas No State Constitutional Right to Abortion and Legislative Power to Regulate Abortion Amendment.[11]

    2020 activity

    Sixteen Thirty's 2020 election activity began in 2019, when the group gave roughly $65 million in grants to left-leaning nonprofit groups.[13] The grant spending included about $16.5 million to the following groups that opposed incumbent Republican senators in battleground states:[13]

    • Maine Momentum
    • Rocky Mountain Values
    • Advancing AZ
    • Iowa Forward
    • Piedmont Rising

    The five groups spent a total of about $17.3 million on advertising between 2019 and 2020.[13]

    Sixteen Thirty's spending also included the following contributions to other organizations:

    Financial records from 2019 indicate Sixteen Thirty spent about $33.7 million directly and through its 38 affiliated subsidiary trade name groups.[13]

    2018 activity

    Sixteen Thirty's 2018 fundraising surpassed any amount raised by a left-leaning political nonprofit to that point. According to Politico, "Several of the biggest donors and organizations in Democratic politics also have public links to Sixteen Thirty Fund. Potential presidential candidate and megadonor Michael Bloomberg gave $250,000 to a super PAC linked to Sixteen Thirty Fund, Change Now, in 2018. And the Democratic donor group Democracy Alliance, which has dozens of members including billionaire George Soros, recommended last spring that donors invest several million dollars into Sixteen Thirty Fund."[14] The group also "distributed more than $91 million in grants to 95 other groups in 2018, according to the tax filing. These funds made Sixteen Thirty Fund a major source of money for political nonprofits pushing an array of changes to state and federal law."[15]

    Politico's Scott Brand described the activities of the Sixteen Thirty Fund in a July 2018 article:

    Added together, the Sixteen Thirty Fund groups have been among the most prolific political advertisers of 2018. They have aired 6,885 broadcast TV ads since Jan. 1, according to Advertising Analytics, a TV tracking firm — more than the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and almost as many as Americans for Prosperity, two of the five biggest nonprofit political advertisers focused on the House and Senate in the first half of this year.


    The network, which has spent over $4.6 million on TV alone, has also been one of the top political advertisers in the country on Facebook, according to a POLITICO analysis of data from the social media company’s new political ad archive.[16][8]

    Sixteen Thirty also planned to spend $5 million opposing the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.[17]
