About Global Impact Social Welfare Foundation
IRS-derived FY2024 grant records show Global Impact Social Welfare Foundation (GISWF) gave Contours Inc. $6.62 million for program support. Contours was formed Dec. 27, 2024 and later disclosed in its Sept. 4, 2025 IRS exemption correspondence that it had made a $350,000 grant to Western Futures Fund year-to-date; the attached grant letter confirms that WFF grant and its terms. Inside Elections reported in August 2026 that Contours had reported at least $750,000 in grants to WFF during 2025, indicating additional support after the April $350K letter or later records not yet reproduced in the primary materials reviewed here. GISWF also separately gave WFF $3.0 million across 2022–2023.
