The foundation says it funds grants and donations to nonprofit organizations working in health or education. Its 2025 grants included support for organizations whose own stated missions include providing mobile preventive dental hygiene care to underserved people, partnering with families in need of affordable housing, and supplying food or other basic necessities to people in need.
