Enterprise Holdings Foundation
Saint Louis, MO
The Enterprise Holdings Foundation supports charitable and educational nonprofits in communities where Enterprise Mobility operates, focusing on health, education, arts, and disaster relief; applicants must be actively supported by an Enterprise Mobility team member, spouse, or domestic partner. Giving varies widely: it reported 9,499 grants in 2024, but its 2025 filing showed one grant of $101.4 million, so that amount is not a typical award. Applications are accepted at any time through eligible Enterprise-affiliated applicants; the Foundation does not limit giving to preselected organizations.

Gil and Dody Weaver Foundation
Dallas, TX
The foundation’s grants supported camps and outdoor experiences, STEM programming, and community services, with 99% of 2025 grant dollars going to Texas; grants typically had a median of $4,000, though amounts varied widely. Its 2024 filing described an application process, but the foundation later merged and transferred its assets effective September 30, 2025, so those instructions are not current and it appears to have wound down.
