What are the largest single donations and donor organizations to Indivisible from 2016 to 2025?
Executive summary
Indivisible’s financing since 2016 has been a mix of grassroots small donations and a handful of well‑known wealthy backers and foundations; reporting and disclosure snapshots identify Reid Hoffman and tech/left‑leaning foundations and networks — most notably George Soros’s Open Society Foundations — among the largest organizational sources of support [1] [2]. Public records and reporting show that Open Society has given multiple millions to Indivisible’s 501(c) entity (reported as over $7.6 million by 2025), while journalism and watchdog profiles single out individual donors such as Reid Hoffman as early large donors, but available sources do not provide a complete, line‑by‑line list of every single largest contribution from 2016–2025 [2] [1] [3].
1. Who the big names are — foundations and tech billionaires
Investigations and organizational profiles repeatedly flag a small set of wealthy liberal funders as significant backers of Indivisible: Reid Hoffman is named by reporting as a prominent early donor, and foundation or coalition money tied to donors associated with Democracy Alliance circles — including the likes of Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman and Leah Hunt‑Hendrix — is also reported as part of the growth story [1]. Most concretely, press reporting by 2025 attributes more than $7.6 million in grants to Indivisible Project from George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, making OSF the single largest institution named in the sources provided [2].
2. Grassroots versus big gifts — the funding mix
From the movement’s founding, Indivisible emphasized broad grassroots small‑dollar giving alongside institutional grants: early reporting noted that by October 2017 Indivisible had received “almost $6 million since its inception,” described as coming “mostly through small donations via its website” but also including larger contributions from donors like Reid Hoffman and allied foundations [2] [1]. Secondary reporting and organizational summaries likewise describe a decline in the proportional share of small donors as the group expanded and attracted larger institutional support, though exact percentage trends vary by source and year [4] [1].
3. What the public records show — limited but useful disclosures
Federal and nonprofit tracking tools — OpenSecrets, FEC committee pages for Indivisible Action and Indivisible Project, and profile aggregators such as Charity Navigator and Foundation Directory — provide filing footprints for Indivisible’s different entities and their PAC activity, but the snippets available in the reporting set here do not furnish a complete, year‑by‑year roster of largest single donations with dollar amounts beyond the OSF figure cited in press [5] [6] [7] [8]. OpenSecrets pages list donors and show large numbers of individual contributions to Indivisible PACs in 2023–24, but the accessible excerpts do not list a ranked table of “largest single donations” covering 2016–2025 [9] [10].
4. Conflicting framings and implicit agendas in reporting
Right‑leaning watchdogs and advocacy outlets (for example, InfluenceWatch) emphasize ties to wealthy liberal networks and use that framing to argue Indivisible is elite‑funded, while Indivisible and sympathetic outlets emphasize grassroots organizing and small donations; both narratives are supported in part by the data but neither source set here delivers an exhaustive donor ledger for the decade [1] [11]. The Open Society figure reported in mainstream outlets is a concrete data point (and politically salient because of OSF’s high profile), but focusing only on OSF or on a few billionaires risks understating the persistent role of small donors and PAC activity reflected across filings [2] [9].
5. Bottom line and reporting limitations
The clearest, attributable headline from the available sources is that George Soros’s Open Society Foundations provided over $7.6 million to Indivisible Project as reported by 2025 — the single largest organizational grant identified in these materials — and that Reid Hoffman and several Democracy Alliance‑linked donors and foundations were early, significant supporters; however, the provided documents and snippets do not contain a full ranked list of every largest single donation from 2016 through 2025, so a definitive dollar‑by‑dollar roster across that entire period cannot be compiled from these sources alone [2] [1] [9]. Researchers seeking a complete accounting should consult Indivisible’s 990s, FEC filings for Indivisible Action and the Project’s outside‑spending reports, and OpenSecrets donor detail pages to assemble a transaction‑level list.
