Grant funds
Grant Funds support the highest-priority funding needs among top organizations.
Contributions enable grant distribution to support cost-effective funding for qualified organizations. We use the latest research to grant the funds to the organizations we believe will do the most good.
How we make grant decisions
We grant funds from contributions to approved organization(s) on a rolling basis throughout the year. Our research team decides which organizations have the highest priority funding need and also takes into consideration factors such as:
What you can expect when you contribute
When we receive a contribution, we grant 100% of the value of the contribution (minus any fees charged by payment processors) to the organizations the research team recommends.
We do not take any fees from contributions and we earn no interest on any funds accumulated each quarter before the distribution.
We typically grant contributions within six months after they are received.
The impact of grants
We estimate the impact of each grant we make from contributions. For example, we grant 100% contributions to organizations who are working to directly improve lifestyles, households and communities. The average range of contributions are from $932 to $4,347, and every contribution creates a positive impact on, at the very least, households. If such a low amount is surprisingly inexpensive to improve a household, you're right, which is why the organizations we choose to support are of absolute critical importance.
Recipients of grants
We converge data for reports to our board members to review grant distributions and grant effectiveness. In 2023 the board decided that grants we fund from contributions to organizations will begin to be publicly published the following calendar year of distributions. Formerly, this information was only provided to the IRS. Through a pilot study, we found that publishing data on which grant organizations are making the most maximum impact was most beneficial for the general public's knowledge.

- Which funding gaps they expect to be filled and unfilled
- Each organization’s plans for additional funding
- The cost-effectiveness of each funding gap
