Avery Dennison Foundation

About Avery Dennison Foundation

Avery Dennison Foundation’s recent grantmaking is defined by large, routed grants to intermediary organizations that move money into disaster relief, employee assistance, and global humanitarian programs. The biggest award in the recent list was $889,875 to Myriad USA Inc for general operating support, followed by an $835,000 disaster-response grant to Global Impact and an $802,770 disaster-response grant to King Baudouin Fndtn United States Inc. That pattern shows a foundation that relies on established channels rather than direct, one-off local awards. The foundation also funds employee-linked programs at meaningful scale. Global Impact received $650,000 for an employee assistance fund, while Charities Aid Foundation received $160,367 for Granting Wishes. Together with scholarship and grantmaking initiatives routed through organizations such as the Institute of International Education and The Resource Foundation, the portfolio points to a mix of humanitarian support, workplace philanthropy, and education access. Recipients include nonprofits in New York, Alexandria, Washington, and Los Angeles, but the strongest throughline is the use of intermediary partners to administer giving across several issue areas.
