Meet our Grantees
What do we fund? Currently, we concentrate most of our giving in the fields of philanthropy, coaching and journalism. However, if you look at the alphabetical list below that highlights a sampling of our grants over the past ten years, you might wonder what they have in common.
Usually, our grants are designed to help people improve their own lives in some way. We believe “If people knew better, they’d do better.”
