About 3g Charitable Foundation
The 3G Charitable Foundation concentrates almost all of its giving on faith-based causes, primarily supporting religious education through donations to parochial and Christian schools and to a religious donor-advised/intermediary fund. Grants are few but often sizable relative to the total giving, and the foundation also makes occasional small emergency/outreach gifts to local faith-based service groups. Its pattern suggests a donor intent focused on sustaining religious schooling and channeling philanthropy through an intermediary vehicle.

Giving Approach
About 3g Charitable Foundation
3g Charitable Foundation’s giving is anchored by repeated support for religious education, with The American Gift Fund receiving the largest recent grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That recurring intermediary relationship sits alongside direct school-based grants, showing a pattern that combines channelled religious giving with support for local faith institutions. The foundation also makes smaller, targeted gifts for community needs tied to faith-based service and recovery. Across its recent grants, the foundation supported Catholic and Christian education through institutions such as St Francis High School in Hamburg and New Life Christian School in Olean. Those school grants are paired with a separate emergency/outreach gift to The Masters Plan in Dayton for fire-loss support, which broadens the picture beyond classroom funding alone. The overall portfolio is small, but the same religious emphasis appears consistently across years and recipient types. The foundation’s mission language also points to spiritual growth, character development, and community support, which aligns with the grant record’s mix of education and outreach.
What 3g Charitable Foundation Funds
Religious education is the clearest thread in 3g Charitable Foundation’s recent giving. In 2025, it gave $7,600 to St Francis High School for donation to support religious education, and it made a $500 gift to New Life Christian School for the same purpose. The foundation also uses intermediary religious giving. It awarded $35,629 in 2025, $21,000 in 2024, and $40,575 in 2023 to The American Gift Fund, each described as a donation to support religious education. That repeated pattern suggests a sustained relationship rather than a one-off gift. A smaller part of the portfolio addresses faith-linked community recovery. In 2024, the foundation gave $6,000 to The Masters Plan for outreach for fire loss, indicating that its community support can extend to emergency response when tied to its faith-based mission.
How 3g Charitable Foundation Gives
Typical grants are modest to mid-sized relative to the foundation’s annual giving, with a p25 of $6,940, median of $14,126, and p75 of $25,894. The recent record shows repeated support across multiple years, especially to The American Gift Fund, which appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That recurrence points to ongoing relationship-based grantmaking rather than isolated awards. The foundation is a private charitable foundation, not a fund for individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. Some programs accept unsolicited requests, while others do not.
