The AJA Foundation concentrates its giving on a small number of high-dollar awards that split between international development (especially rural water and health projects in sub‑Saharan Africa) and U.S.-based education for underserved students, with a substantial commitment to medical research into prostate cancer. They favor established nonprofits and repeat grantees, funding programmatic operations and capacity for service delivery in targeted communities. Their portfolio blends large international humanitarian grants with strategic local education investments.
Aja Foundation’s most distinctive pattern is its pairing of large clean-water grants in rural Africa with sustained support for prostate cancer research. In 2024, the foundation gave $250,000 to the Prostate Cancer Foundation for prostate cancer research, matching a $250,000 award in 2023 for the same purpose. On the international side, it committed $517,521 to UNICEF for sustainable water access in rural Guinea through manual drilling and community water management, and it backed Makolekole USA Inc with $166,500 in 2024 to deliver clean, safe water to rural communities in Zambia’s S. Luangwa Valley. Those awards sit alongside education funding for underserved students, including college-access and academic support programs. The portfolio shows a funder that favors concentrated, high-dollar grants directed to established nonprofits working on specific service-delivery goals. Recent awards also show continued interest in healthcare delivery in rural Ethiopia and in scholarships or student pathways that help disadvantaged learners move forward academically.
Water is one of the clearest pillars in the portfolio. UNICEF received $517,521 in 2023 to improve sustainable water access in rural Guinea through manual drilling and community water management, while Makolekole USA Inc. received $166,500 in 2024 for clean, safe water in Zambia’s S. Luangwa Valley. The foundation also supports healthcare delivery in rural settings: Engera Inc. received $105,000 in 2024 for quality healthcare for people living in rural Ethiopia. Education funding is another recurring theme. Hopkins School received $125,000 in 2023 and $100,000 in 2024 to help students from underserved schools advance academically, and Fulfillment Fund LA received $110,000 in 2024 for the same broad purpose.
Aja Foundation’s grant sizes cluster in a relatively high-dollar range: p25 is $5,000, median grant size is $32,500, and p75 is $81,250. The recent record shows both repeat recipients and one-time awards. Prostate Cancer Foundation, Engera Inc, Hopkins School, Fulfillment Fund LA, and Makolekole USA Inc all appear in more than one year, suggesting multi-year support for selected partners. The foundation is not an individual-giving vehicle and does not make program-related investments. Its active programs accept unsolicited requests, including education, water, and healthcare grants.

Notable grantees: UNICEF, Prostate Cancer Foundation, ENGERA Inc, MAKOLEKOLE USA Inc, Fulfillment Fund LA
The foundation gives most often in California, though its grantmaking reaches beyond its headquarters in Nevada. Recent awards land in New York, California, Nevada, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, Virginia, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. Within the U.S., New York City appears through grants to UNICEF, Integrity First for America, Trident Swim Foundation, Roundabout Theatre Company, and Dream; Los Angeles appears through Fulfillment Fund LA and the arts and music grant to Mister Holland’s Opus. Nevada recipients include Makolekole USA Inc., Engera Inc., and the University of Nevada-related grant to UNR Foundation.
Its recent grants center on clean water, rural healthcare, prostate cancer research, and education for underserved students. Named awards include $517,521 to UNICEF for rural water access in Guinea, $105,000 to Engera Inc for healthcare in rural Ethiopia, $250,000 to Prostate Cancer Foundation for research, and $125,000 to Hopkins School for academic advancement.
Yes. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Prostate Cancer Foundation ($250,000 in both 2023 and 2024), Engera Inc ($105,000 in both 2023 and 2024), Hopkins School ($125,000 in 2023 and $100,000 in 2024), Fulfillment Fund LA ($40,000 in 2023 and $110,000 in 2024), and Makolekole USA Inc. ($55,000 in 2023 and $166,500 in 2024).
The distribution is weighted toward larger awards: p25 is $5,000, the median is $32,500, and p75 is $81,250. The recent list also includes several six-figure grants, such as $517,521 to UNICEF and $250,000 to Prostate Cancer Foundation.
California is the top state by grant count. Recent California recipients include Fulfillment Fund LA in Los Angeles, Hopkins School in New Haven is outside California but California-based awards also include Mister Holland’s Opus in Sherman Oaks and Three Angels Children’s Relief in Stevenson Ranch.
