Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation states its mission is “to utilize our platform and resources to strengthen communities and enrich lives on a national and local scale.” Its programs include Charity Classic and the Employee Care Fund (ECF). The ECF provides assistance to Invited employees facing hardship due to events such as illness, injury, death, fire, or other emergencies. These employee-support payments are assistance to employees, not grants for outside applicants.
The 2024 grantees show support for a range of nonprofit work. The Boot Campaign says it works to honor and restore the lives of veterans and military families, while Operation Once in a Lifetime says it helps fulfill the dreams of military personnel. Folds of Honor Foundation describes its work as providing scholarships to qualifying spouses and dependent children of military service members and first responders killed or disabled in service. Other 2024 recipients include Phoenix Children’s Hospital, which says it advances healthcare for children and families; The Warren Center, which provides evaluations, therapy, and support for children and families affected by developmental delays and disabilities; and Momentous Institute, which describes its work as mental health services, education, and professional training for children, families, and communities.

The foundation’s 2026 Invited Scholars program offers scholarships to eligible Invited employees and their dependent children for undergraduate, trade, or vocational studies. The 2026 program materials state that eligible applicants may receive up to $10,000; eligibility includes employment and work-hour requirements, and the program is not available for graduate or doctoral study.
