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 humanitarian response: Red Cross, Samaritan's Purse, Direct Relief
National disease and health charities: ALSAC/St. Jude, ACS, AHA, Alzheimer's
United Ways and employee community funds in corporate-headquarters metros
Food banks and hunger: Second Harvest affiliates, Feeding America, World Central Kitchen
CDFIs and small business lending: Grameen America, Ascendus, LISC, Capital Impact
Environment, conservation and parks: Nature Conservancy, Ocean Conservancy, National Park Foundation

Typical grant

Median grant is $11,041, with the middle half between $7,130 and $24,000, so this is a high-volume, small-check operation across 25,236 recipients. The six-figure and seven-figure checks go almost entirely to national brand-name charities (Red Cross at $1.56M, ALSAC at $562K, United Way of Metro Chicago at $548K) or to round-numbered $100,000 awards clustered in community development finance. With 35,145 grants to 25,236 recipients over four years, most organizations appear once or twice; the large nationals recur every year.

Their words

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

“GENERAL SUPPORT”
“EMPLOYEES COMMUNITY FUND”
“UNITED WAY”
“SECOND HARVEST”
“COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT”

Positioning adjacent work

Treat this as a corporate employee-giving and DAF conduit, not a program funder; there is no proposal to write.
Get verified as a receiving nonprofit on Blackbaud/YourCause platforms so employee designations can route to you.
Cultivate employee resource groups and corporate matching programs at firms in CA, TX, NY, IL, MN.
If seeking a round $100,000, mirror the CDFI and small-business lending cluster funded in 2024.

Worth knowing: Every grant in the record reads GENERAL SUPPORT, and entries like CHECKING ACCOUNT, Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, and several corporate employee funds show this is a pass-through vehicle aggregating donor and employee designations rather than a foundation with staff-set priorities. Geography tracks corporate employee concentrations, not Charleston, and the money follows existing donor relationships, so influence comes from being visible to those donors rather than from cultivating the fund itself.

Top recipients

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