About Amb Foundation
AMB Foundation appears to concentrate its giving on education and workforce development programs, likely with an international focus in Latin America. Their support is large and targeted, funding a very small number of organizations that deliver education, skills training, and job-placement services rather than many small or local US charities.

Funding Style
About Amb Foundation
Amb Foundation’s largest recent grant was $160,300 to Crea Et Al for education, and the same pattern continued with a $143,100 award to Xela Aid Etal for education and job placement. Those two grants show a foundation that uses a small number of substantial awards rather than a broad scatter of small gifts. Its stated grant program centers on the health, education, and economic empowerment of indigenous peoples of the Americas, with additional support for environment and the arts. The recent grant list also points to a consistent interest in organizations serving indigenous communities through direct services, including vocational pathways, language preservation, women’s empowerment, foster care support, and community health. Recent awards have gone to groups such as Friendship Bridge in Lakewood, Colorado, and Voces Y Manos in Oakland, California, alongside several other organizations with education- and culture-related work. The foundation’s giving appears organized around project support for nonprofit organizations working with Native and Indigenous Americans, especially in Central and North America.
What Amb Foundation Funds
Education is a clear throughline in the foundation’s recent grants. It awarded $160,300 to Crea Et Al for education, then later gave $10,000 to American Indiana College Fund for education and $9,000 to Crea for education. Workforce-related support also appears in the $143,100 grant to Xela Aid Etal for education and job placement, matching the foundation’s interest in economic empowerment. Cultural and language preservation are another part of the portfolio: 7000 Languages received $10,000 for services to preserve local languages in both 2023 and 2025, and Adopt a Native Elder received $10,000 for preserving indigenous knowledge. The foundation also funded health and family-support work, including Casa Colibri for health and Honduras Good Works for foster care support.
How Amb Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is tightly clustered at $10,000, with p25, median, and p75 all at $10,000. The recent record includes two larger awards above that level, including one much larger education grant and a second sizable award tied to education and job placement. Recipients also repeat across years: Voces Y Manos, 7000 Languages, Casa Colibri, American Indiana College Fund, and Crea all appear in both 2023 and 2025, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. Amb Foundation is a regular funder, and its active programs indicate unsolicited applications are accepted.
