Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

  • Disaster relief and emergency response, domestic and international
  • Food security: food banks, hunger relief, meal programs
  • Health charities and hospitals, especially cancer and children's health
  • Human services through United Ways and community foundations
  • International development, refugee aid, and global poverty relief
  • Civil rights, LGBTQ, and legal advocacy organizations

Typical grant

The median grant is $12,625 and half fall between $7,638 and $26,534, so the overwhelming bulk of the 153,102 grants on file are small pass-through amounts. The seven- and eight-figure checks go to national brands with mass name recognition (American Red Cross at $26.4 million, St. Jude at $18.5 million, World Central Kitchen at $13.5 million), not to selected projects. With 73,224 recipients across four years, most organizations appear repeatedly but at varying amounts driven by donor volume rather than a renewal decision.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

  • GENERAL SUPPORT

Positioning adjacent work

  • Treat this as a donor-advised vehicle. Cultivate the corporate employee donors and payroll-giving campaigns that route money here.
  • Register with the workplace giving platforms this foundation disburses through rather than writing a proposal to Newark, DE.
  • Make sure your organization is findable and verified in employee giving portals, since gifts arrive as unrestricted general support.
  • If aligned with disaster response or hunger relief, build campaign moments; those themes draw the largest aggregated flows.

Worth knowing: This is not a conventional grantmaking foundation. It functions as a conduit for corporate and employee giving programs, which explains the CA, WA, TX, and NY concentration around large tech and corporate workforces, the every-grant-is-general-support pattern, and gifts to other intermediaries like Fidelity Charitable, Renaissance Charitable, and GlobalGiving. There is no program officer to persuade; the decisions are made by thousands of individual donors.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
