Funding the fight against hunger, homelessness and poverty

Through our Grants Program, we support initiatives that align with our mission of uplifting underserved communities, fostering holistic well-being, and empowering individuals through education, healthcare, and spiritual growth.

What We Fund

We provide grants to nonprofit partners whose work reflects our mission and values. We focus is on programs that:

  • Feed individuals and families experiencing food insecurity

  • Shelter those facing homelessness or housing instability

  • Provide equitable education opportunities to children and underserved communities

We work with partners like Nourishing Hope, Cara Collective, Morgan Park Academy, and High Jump to deliver impact where it matters most.
