About Beygood Foundation
Beygood Foundation’s giving is built around economic equity, with scholarships, small-business support, and disaster relief appearing across its recent grants. The largest gift in the data is $1.2 million to Bread of Life in Houston for general purpose support, followed by a $358,691 community and disaster relief grant to NAACP Empowerment Programs Inc in Baltimore. That combination shows a funder that uses large unrestricted awards alongside targeted response funding. The foundation also backs education through repeated scholarship and university grants. Recent examples include $200,000 to Grambling State University for education and $100,000 to Dillard University for education. In parallel, it supports community-led organizations and recovery efforts through grants such as $300,000 to Hollyrod Foundation in Los Angeles for general purpose support and $250,000 to Private School Axis in Los Angeles for community and disaster relief. Its active programs extend this mix into scholarships, individual assistance, and small business support, including initiatives tied to the Black Parade Route and cosmetology-related grants.
What Beygood Foundation Funds
Education is a consistent thread in Beygood Foundation’s giving. It awarded $200,000 to Grambling State University for an education grant and $100,000 to Community College of Philadelphia Foundation for education. The foundation also supports workforce and business development through cosmetology and salon-related programs. A recent $50,000 grant to Beaver Beauty Academy in Decatur, Georgia, appears in the community and disaster relief category, while the Cécred x BeyGOOD Fund is listed as a grantmaking program for salon and barbershop business grants and cosmetology student scholarships. Disaster response and community recovery are another major area. Beygood Foundation gave $200,000 to Angel by Nature in Katy, Texas, and $100,000 to Texas Southern University Foundation in Houston, both labeled community and disaster relief grants. It also backed local recovery work through a $100,000 grant to Follow Your Heart in Houston.
How Beygood Foundation Gives
The typical grant size in the dataset is tightly clustered at $10,000, with p25, median, and p75 all at $10,000. Even so, the recent awards include much larger checks, from five-figure grants to seven-figure support. The pattern suggests a funder that mixes standardized smaller awards with occasional large, project-level or general-purpose grants. Beygood Foundation is classified as a regular funder, not a donor-advised fund, and it does not fund individuals directly. The active programs show both open and closed pathways: Black Parade Route grants accept unsolicited applications, while other named programs do not. The recent-grants list shows repeated support for some organizations across different years, including Hollyrod Foundation and Angel by Nature, indicating recurring relationships rather than only one-time gifts.
