About Bp Foundation
BP Foundation Inc. focuses its philanthropy on leveraging corporate giving through a large employee matching-grants program and on rapid-response humanitarian relief. The vast majority of its support is routed through a matching-gifts intermediary to hundreds of schools and community, health, and human service nonprofits, while a smaller portion funds disaster and emergency response (e.g., American Red Cross). Their approach reflects corporate philanthropy that amplifies employee donations and steps in for major disaster relief efforts.

About Bp Foundation
Bp Foundation Inc. is defined by a two-track pattern: very large employee matching grants and targeted disaster relief. The biggest recent awards all sit in a matching-gifts line routed through Givingforce, including $8,267,502 in 2024 and $7,008,711 in 2025 to support hundreds of schools, community organizations, and health and human service nonprofits. That recurring channel shows the foundation using corporate employee giving as a main vehicle for philanthropy rather than relying only on direct grants. Alongside that broad matching program, the foundation steps into emergency response with direct support for crises. In 2023, it gave $690,575 to American Red Cross for disaster relief tied to Colorado wildfires, Midwest tornadoes, and the Ukraine crisis. More recent relief awards include $100,000 to United Way of Greater Houston for severe weather and derecho recovery and $100,000 to Convoy of Hope for humanitarian relief related to Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The grant record also includes smaller disaster-response gifts to American Red Cross for the Morocco earthquake, Libya flooding, and Texas wildfires.
What Bp Foundation Funds
Employee-giving infrastructure is central to this foundation’s work. The largest recent grants were $8,267,502 in 2024 and $7,008,711 in 2025 through Matching Gifts - Givingforce, directed to hundreds of schools and community, health, and human service organizations. Disaster response is the other clear theme. In 2025, Bp Foundation Inc. gave $100,000 to United Way of Greater Houston for severe weather and derecho recovery, and another $100,000 to Convoy of Hope for humanitarian relief related to Hurricanes Helene and Milton. International humanitarian relief also appears in the record. The foundation granted $690,575 to American Red Cross for disaster relief tied to the Ukraine crisis, and a separate American Red Cross grant supported relief for the Morocco earthquake and Libya flooding. Veterans support is present as a smaller, distinct line through scholarships and partnerships tied to STEM, mentoring, and employment support.
How Bp Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is large: the p25 is $531,681, the median is $2,999,496, and the p75 is $6,048,188. The pattern is dominated by a repeated matching-gifts relationship, with awards appearing in 2023, 2024, and 2025 through the same intermediary. That suggests recurring support rather than one-off gifts in the main program. The foundation also gives through direct emergency-response grants, usually at much smaller levels than its matching-fund transfers, and it does not accept unsolicited proposals for those core humanitarian and disaster-response programs.
