To support workforce education, fight hunger, and strengthen critical local services in communities.
All Within My Hands stands out for pairing major workforce-education funding with fast-moving disaster and hunger relief. The largest recent grants in the record went to the American Association of Community Colleges for the Metallica Scholars Initiative, including $2,676,050 in 2025 and $3,024,900 in 2024. That same education stream sits alongside emergency support for organizations such as World Central Kitchen, which received $500,000 for crisis response in Ukraine in 2023 and additional support for earthquake, hurricane, and flood relief in later years. The foundation also backs hunger-relief and community-service work through grants to food banks, local service organizations, and community foundations. Recent examples include support for Farmlink Project in Los Angeles, Support and Feed Inc in Los Angeles, and Community Foundation for Monterey County. The grant record shows a funder that uses both large program commitments and targeted response grants, with recurring support for a small set of mission-aligned partners and one-time awards tied to specific emergencies or initiatives.
Workforce development is one of the clearest throughlines in the grant record. All Within My Hands awarded $100,000 to Western Dakota Technical College in Rapid City for the Metallica Scholars Initiative and $50,000 to East Central College in Union, Missouri for the same initiative. It also gave $50,000 to San Juan College Foundation in Farmington, Arizona and $50,000 to Pima Community College Foundation in Tucson, Arizona through Metallica Scholars. Food security is another recurring area: the foundation gave $80,000 to Support and Feed Inc in Los Angeles for general support and $200,000 to Farmlink Project in Los Angeles during Month of Giving. Emergency response appears in multiple forms, including $125,000 to Direct Relief for the Turkey/Syria earthquake and $50,000 to Feeding America for response to Hurricane Milton.
Typical recent grants fall in the $30,000 to $50,000 range, with a median of $35,000 and a 75th percentile of $50,000. The distribution is mixed: a small number of very large program grants sit above a long tail of $50,000 awards and smaller support grants. Recurring recipients are common, especially in the Metallica Scholars and relief portfolios, with organizations such as the American Association of Community Colleges and World Central Kitchen appearing across multiple years. All Within My Hands is structured as a grantmaking foundation tied to AWMH and Metallica support programs. It also runs a fundraising program through the Helping Hands concert and auction, and that program accepts unsolicited submissions.

Grant recipients are entirely U.S.-based in the recent-grants list, with 76 grants recorded in the United States. California recipients appear often, including Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Monterey, El Segundo, and San Rafael-area partners, which aligns with the 43% share of grants going to recipients in California. Texas is the state where the foundation gives most often by count, although the recent-grants list also shows awards in Washington, DC, Hawaii, South Dakota, Missouri, Arizona, Michigan, New York, Montana, and other states. The geographic pattern mixes national program awards with state-specific emergency response.
The foundation funds organizations working in workforce education, skilled trades training, food security, community services, scholarships, and disaster or emergency relief. Recent grants include the American Association of Community Colleges for Metallica Scholars, World Central Kitchen for crisis response, and food- and local-service-focused groups such as Farmlink Project and Support and Feed Inc.
Recent grants cluster around $30,000 to $50,000. The listed distribution shows a p25 of $30,000, a median of $35,000, and a p75 of $50,000, even though the foundation also makes much larger program grants for initiatives like Metallica Scholars.
Yes. Workforce education is one of its core grant areas, especially through Metallica Scholars. Recent examples include $100,000 to Western Dakota Technical College, $50,000 to East Central College, $50,000 to San Juan College Foundation, and $50,000 to Pima Community College Foundation.
The foundation has funded disaster and emergency response across multiple situations, including $500,000 grants to World Central Kitchen for crisis response in Ukraine, $125,000 to Direct Relief for the Turkey/Syria earthquake, and $50,000 to Feeding America for Hurricane Milton response. It also supported Maui Strong Fund and other storm-related efforts.
One listed program does: the Helping Hands Concert & Auction Fundraiser accepts unsolicited submissions. Other active programs listed, including All Within My Hands Grantmaking, Food Bank Grants, Metallica Gives Back, and Metallica Scholars, are marked as not accepting unsolicited applications.
