Mission & Focus Areas

The foundation’s stated mission is to raise and provide financial resources for the National Exchange Club and its Programs of Service, including its National Project, the prevention of child abuse. Its filing also says earnings from the foundation’s endowments support child-abuse prevention, youth and ACE scholarship awards, and general operating expenses.

The website describes child-abuse prevention as the Exchange’s National Project since 1979. It says Exchange Club Centers provide Parent Aide home-visitation services to families, and that local clubs identify community needs and may organize projects around them.

Grantmaking

In filing year 2025, the foundation gave 12 grants totaling $335,674. Grant amounts ranged from $6,750 to $157,403, with a median of $12,106. The largest grant was $157,403 to The National Exchange Club for support of its child-abuse prevention and other programs. Other large awards included $50,000 to the Exchange Club of Norman, Oklahoma; $30,604 to the Exchange Club of Daniel Island, South Carolina; and $14,400 to the Exchange Club of Lima, Ohio. The stated purposes for these club grants were pass-through funds to support programs of the subrecipient.

The filing says scholarships to individuals are paid directly to students’ universities. This describes scholarship payments, not a grant program for outside applicants.
