About 5 Star Legacy Foundation
A $120,000 grant to Ampelis Foundation for education stands out in 5 Star Legacy Foundation’s recent giving and shows how concentrated its support can be around a single purpose. The foundation says it exists to alleviate the suffering of children, their families, and their communities by breaking the cycle of poverty, and that mission runs through its grant programs for literacy, higher education, micro-loans, entrepreneurship, and partner-led relief efforts. Recent awards also point to a mix of direct educational support and targeted aid for vulnerable groups: Elevate Nations received funding to help poor African farmers, while The Road Home and Edwards' Hands Inc were funded for preschool-age children and children with special needs. The foundation’s program descriptions emphasize accountability and structured support, including regular progress reporting for scholarship recipients and repayable terms for micro-loans. Its work appears to combine grants and micro-loans, with both individual education support and organizational partnerships represented in the program list. Across the recent grants provided here, the foundation’s giving is tightly tied to poverty reduction through education, child support, and economic self-reliance.
What 5 Star Legacy Foundation Funds
Education is a major theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2025, it gave $120,000 to Ampelis Foundation for education, alongside program offerings for higher education scholarships, student financial aid, and literacy support. Child-focused aid appears in both schooling and basic-needs support: The Road Home received $7,399 to help poor preschool kids, and the program list also includes books, educational products, and cash donations for children in grades K-12 and institutions such as orphanages and hospitals. The foundation also supports economic self-reliance. Elevate Nations received $10,000 to help poor African farmers, aligning with its micro-loans and entrepreneurship support program. A separate grant to Edwards' Hands Inc for special needs kids matches its stated interest in children with disabilities and special needs.
How 5 Star Legacy Foundation Gives
The recent grants shown here are highly uneven in size, with a $120,000 award at the top, then $10,000, $7,399, and $6,000. That spread suggests a model that combines one large, program-level commitment with smaller targeted awards. The foundation is a public charity, not a private family foundation, and it does not fund individuals directly. Its program descriptions show both grants and repayable micro-loans, plus regular progress reporting for scholarship recipients, which points to structured, accountability-based support. The available recent-grant sample is all from 2025, so recurring recipients cannot be confirmed from this dataset alone.
