Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation’s stated mission is to enable people at Andersen Tax LLC to assist the geographical communities served by Andersen. It says its beneficiaries may include Andersen’s current and former people, clients, and communities more broadly; its purposes also include scholarships for Andersen people and their families and other qualified charitable and educational purposes.
The filing describes two programs for individuals. The hardship program provides needs-based financial support to eligible people who apply using a pre-established application; an independent, geographically diverse committee reviews requests using objective criteria. The scholarship program supports post-secondary study at accredited institutions for Andersen people and family members. Applicants use a pre-established application, and a geographically diverse committee selects recipients based on financial need, academic merit, and scholastic achievement. These individual-assistance programs are distinct from grants to outside organizations.
For community grantmaking, the foundation says it makes grants to charities when it cannot directly assist local efforts, including organizations supporting communities and education initiatives. Examples of grantees’ own stated missions include the University of San Francisco’s work in higher education; Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley’s support for families experiencing homelessness and low income; and the Wooden Floor for Youth Movement’s use of dance and access to higher education to support young people. Other grantees describe work in areas such as birth support, adaptive equipment for children with disabilities, legal assistance for veterans, services for survivors of human trafficking, and poverty prevention.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2024, the foundation reported 16 itemized grants totaling $730,695. Amounts ranged from $10,000 to $225,695, with a median of $25,000.
The largest grants included $225,695 to Jesuit Refugee Services for needs in the greater Washington, DC community and $200,000 to the University of San Francisco for general support for its School of Law. Other reported grants included $40,000 to Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose; $25,000 each to Be An Angel Fund, Birth in Color RVA Foundation, Family Promise of San Gabriel Valley, Sojourn Landing, Veteran’s Legal Institute, The Wooden Floor for Youth Movement, Child Development Institute, and another listed community grantee; and $20,000 each to Community Action Partnership of Orange County and Homeless Children’s Education Fund.
The foundation also reported awarding 48 scholarships in 2024, ranging from $2,500 to $15,000, to eligible Andersen people and their family members. Scholarship funds may be paid to recipients or directly to accredited institutions. Its filing also says it provided hardship assistance to more than ten families affected by medical emergencies and to an individual affected by the humanitarian crisis resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
