About Cg Charitable Fund %
A $1.35 million grant to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for humanitarian aid stands out as the largest recent award from Cg Charitable Fund %. That gift fits a broader pattern: the fund supports faith-linked humanitarian work alongside education, with major dollars reaching LDS Philanthropies for BYU scholarships and missionary support. The foundation also backs international education and community development efforts in Guatemala and East Africa, including school support, family assistance, and basic medical or life-skills services. The recent record shows a small number of large grants rather than many smaller awards. In 2025, the fund gave $450,000 to Village Schools International for education and supplies to African youth, $300,000 to Common Hope for family support and education in Guatemala, and $230,000 to Guatemalan Tomorrow Fund Inc for life skills and medical support to a Mayan village. Other sizeable awards went to Building Tomorrow, First Star Inc, Heed Uganda, Bridge2Rwanda, and Nurturing Minds, reflecting a consistent interest in education from primary levels through college entry. The foundation’s work is closely tied to the philanthropic ecosystem around The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, while also extending to community-based partners abroad.
