Grants

Grants Awarded in 2025

The Foundation’s three, pre-pandemic grantmaking priority areas remained the same:

  • The empowerment of low-income women to improve their lives after a significant life challenge
  • The promotion of philanthropy with an emphasis on engaging underrepresented communities i.e., women, youth and communities of color
  • The support of media campaigns fostering stronger environmental policy development

 

For 2025, the Foundation also placed a particular emphasis on supporting youth philanthropy organizations and programs
