Charis Legacy Foundation appears to make targeted, high-impact gifts focused on enabling organizational growth and direct beneficiary support. In the most recent data the foundation made a single large grant to CAPSA to fund scholarships and a building/expansion project, indicating an interest in capital projects that increase capacity and provide direct financial assistance to individuals. The grant size and purpose suggest the foundation favors transformational investments over many smaller awards.
Highly concentrated giving: one very large grant rather than multiple smaller awards, focused on capital expansion and scholarship support for a single grantee.
Charis Legacy Foundation’s largest recent award was $926,123 to Capsa for scholarship support plus a building fund and expansion, which signals a preference for major, capacity-building gifts with direct beneficiary impact. The foundation also gave $100,000 to Rise and Rebuild Foundation for nutrition centers in the Philippines, showing that its grantmaking can extend beyond local organizations when the program fit is clear. Across the recent record, the foundation appears to back scholarships, building and expansion projects, and selected community-service efforts rather than a broad, open-ended portfolio. Several grants point to sustained support for education-related purposes. Charis Legacy Foundation awarded $40,000 to Caine College of the Arts for the Calvin Fletcher Scholarship, and it also made a $10,000 unrestricted grant to Book of Mormon Central. Smaller awards include $25,000 to Whispering Canyons for feed and related donation needs and $4,500 to Edith Bowen Laboratory School for outdoor programs. The pattern suggests a funder that combines one large transformational grant with narrower, purpose-specific gifts.
Education and student aid are central themes. Charis Legacy Foundation gave $926,123 to Capsa for scholarship support, building fund, and expansion, and another $40,000 to Caine College of the Arts for the Calvin Fletcher Scholarship. Community health and basic-needs work also appears in the record. The foundation awarded $100,000 to Rise and Rebuild Foundation for nutrition centers in the Philippines, and $25,000 to Whispering Canyons for feed and related donation needs. It also supports organizational activity tied to fundraising and outreach. Cache Valley for Hope Cancer Foundation received $60,000 as a sponsorship for a golf tournament used as a fundraising event by the donee and scholarships, while Edith Bowen Laboratory School got $4,500 for outdoor programs.
Typical awards are concentrated at the upper end of its range: the p25 is $17,500, the median is $40,000, and the p75 is $80,000. The recent record includes a very large outlier at $926,123, alongside multiple $100,000, $60,000, $40,000, $25,000, $10,000, and $4,500 grants. The foundation appears to make repeat gifts to the same recipients across years, including Capsa, Rise and Rebuild Foundation, Cache Valley for Hope Cancer Foundation, and Caine College of the Arts. It is a private foundation; it funds individuals and does not make program-related investments.
