Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation’s mission is “to provide resources and support to the underprivileged and underserved.” Its primary focus is helping children with mental illness and people experiencing food insecurity. It seeks to support new and creative projects that develop sustainable pathways for mental health protection and food insecurity, with lasting impact.
Its 2024 grantees illustrate the range of organizations it supports. LA SOUPE says its mission is to bridge food waste and hunger by rescuing produce and creating meals for food-insecure families and others. Three O’Clock Project says it provides healthy meals and nutrition education to at-risk students after school. BLOC Ministries describes its work as building relationships with neighbors through free activities and programs for youth and adults. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not the foundation’s.
Grantmaking
The foundation awards Do Good Grants twice annually. For 2024, the foundation reported issuing over $1,187,887 in grants to 79 organizations.
Among the largest itemized grants were $195,024 to LA SOUPE INC, $150,000 to THREE O’CLOCK PROJECT, $132,000 to NATIONWIDE CHILDRENS HOSPITAL, $105,000 to HOCKING COLLEGE, and $70,000 to NCH FOUNDATION. Each was listed for general operating support.
The Do Good Grant application process calls for a project proposal supporting the foundation’s mission. Applicants must be, or be affiliated with, a nonprofit or public charity serving as the administering organization; current nonprofit-status documentation is required. The foundation’s grant materials describe review by a committee, possible requests for additional information and site visits for finalists, and notification by the award date. The program listing specifies awards of up to $10,000 per project and says funds must be spent within three years. It also lists restrictions including no indirect costs, scholarships, or capital projects.
