One disclosed source upstream.
Sixteen Thirty Fund’s 2024 Schedule I reports a $1,225,000 cash grant to Fairness Project, matching EIN 37-1779557. The same return reports separate grants to Utah Donor Collaborative ($42,500), Utahns for Responsive Government ($25,000) and Alliance for a Better Utah ($20,000).
Those records establish a shared grantmaker. They do not show that the 2024 grant financed a specific 2026 Utah contribution or that the recipients have common control.

What the public return reveals—and withholds.
The 2024 Form 990 reports $33,137,875 in contributions and grants. Its Schedule B contributor row shows “RESTRICTED” for identifying information and contribution amounts. The public return does not provide a complete original-donor list. A grantmaker’s separate filing can reveal individual funding relationships, as Sixteen Thirty Fund’s does.
The return identifies a 501(c)(4), formed in 2015, with California legal domicile and a Washington, D.C. mailing address. Those fields describe different aspects of the organization.

What the organization says it does.
Fairness Project describes its work as advancing social and economic justice through ballot measures. That is its stated mission. The financial analysis here rests on the filings rather than agreement or disagreement with that mission.
What still needs investigation.
Additional grantmakers, current leadership, 2025–2026 funding and any restrictions attached to Utah support. This profile identifies one checked upstream grant, not every original source. There is no verified evidence here that Josh Kanter directs Fairness Project.

A funder of progressive ballot measures.
In its January 15, 2026 redistricting announcement, Fairness Project describes its role as a funder and strategic partner behind progressive ballot measures. Its separate Who We Are page describes the organization as nonpartisan. Its policy alignment and its stated party-neutral status should be reported as distinct facts.
