Among the 18 most recently funded civic and social organizations in the United States, nearly every round carries a "Series Unknown" classification—reflecting how grant capital, program-related investments, and CDFI lending don't fit standard venture stage labels. The outlier by size is Girl Scouts, which closed a $30M round in New York in December 2024. Below that, Eye to Eye (New York, $5M, June 2023) and The African American Alliance of CDFI CEOs (Orlando, $5M, February 2023) represent the next tier.
Geographic distribution is wide: Boston accounts for two organizations—Interise ($2M, March 2024) and Black Economic Council of Massachusetts ($1M, April 2024)—while rounds also closed in smaller markets including Rapid City, South Dakota (All Kids Bike, $90K, August 2025) and Flint, Michigan (Communities First, undisclosed). Five rounds list undisclosed amounts, including Food Rescue US, Camaraderie Foundation, and Sharing Life Community Outreach, making disclosed deal data incomplete across a meaningful share of this segment.

Girl Scouts leads by a wide margin with $30M (New York, December 2024).

The majority of disclosed rounds in this dataset fall below $500K.
Where are recently funded civic and social organizations located?
Funding is distributed across 15 cities in at least 14 states, with no single metro dominant.

Orlando also has two: Camaraderie Foundation and African American Alliance of CDFI CEOs. Rounds also closed in Rapid City SD, Flint MI, Mesquite TX, and Woodland CA.
Why are virtually all rounds in this segment tagged as Series Unknown?
Civic and social organizations typically raise through grants, philanthropic capital, CDFI lending, and government awards—none of which maps to Series A/B/C stage labels.

Economic empowerment and small business access are the most recurrent themes—Black Economic Council of Massachusetts, Interise, Atlanta Wealth Building Initiative, and African American Alliance of CDFI CEOs all operate in that space.
