About Analog Devices Foundation
A defining feature of the Analog Devices Foundation’s recent giving is its support for international humanitarian intermediaries: Cafa International received $680,011 in 2023 and $343,034 in 2024, while Charities Aid Foundation Americaforeign received $371,041 in 2025. That pattern sits alongside a broader mix of education, STEM, and community-focused awards. The foundation’s recent grants also include support for U.S. institutions tied to student opportunity and technical training, such as the University of Massachusetts Foundation Inc., which received $125,250 in 2023, and Cornell University, which received $50,420 in 2023 and $30,353 in 2025. A recurring thread is funding through general support, often to organizations that can distribute resources across education access, social change, and humanitarian work. The foundation also extends its grantmaking into scholarship and workforce pathways through named recipients connected to engineering and student support. Across the recent grants list, its portfolio ranges from large cross-border grants to smaller local awards, with several repeat relationships appearing over multiple years.

The typical grant size is small relative to the foundation’s annual grantmaking: p25 is $103, median is $257, and p75 is $924. At the same time, the recent grants list includes much larger awards, which suggests a split between many modest employee-linked gifts and a smaller number of sizable grants. Repeat recipients are visible: Cafa International appears in 2023 and 2024, Cornell University appears in 2023 and 2025, and Massachusetts Science & Engineering Fair Inc. appears in 2023 and 2025. The foundation makes grants nationally and also supports individuals, with giving organized through community grants, matching employee gifts, and matching employee volunteer hours. Unsolicited applications are accepted for Give. Care. Do. and the community-grants platform, while matching-gift programs are employee-driven.
