The 1898 Foundation makes targeted education-focused giving, concentrating on scholarships rather than programmatic or institutional support. Its sole recorded grant was a direct gift to Scholarship America, indicating a preference for funding student financial aid through established scholarship intermediaries.
Very concentrated and limited: a single mid-sized, one-time grant focused exclusively on scholarships rather than diversified funding across multiple causes or repeat grantees.
