About Cloudbreak Foundation
Cloudbreak Foundation Inc. gives biannual project-specific grants centered on direct services for underprivileged children, people experiencing homelessness, and older adults, with a clear preference for organizations in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Its recent awards cluster around basic and critical needs, including food support, shelter, housing stability, transportation, and social isolation reduction. Several recent grants show the pattern clearly: $10,000 to Tommy's Pantry for a homeless hygiene program, $10,000 to Silver Spring Village for an independent living program, and $10,000 to Olney Help for food distribution.
The foundation’s support is aimed at IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofits, and its grant descriptions emphasize project and program support rather than general operating support. That focus appears in grants such as $10,000 to Rebuilding Together DC Alexandria for a home repair program and $10,000 to Arts for the Aging for arts workshops. The mix of recipients includes community food programs, senior services, housing-related organizations, and child-serving groups, all tied to direct delivery of services. Recent grant recipients are located mainly in the Washington, D.C. region, including Washington, DC, Alexandria, Silver Spring, Takoma Park, and Arlington.
What Cloudbreak Foundation Funds
Food access is a recurring theme in Cloudbreak Foundation Inc.’s grants. The foundation gave $10,000 to Good News Community Kitchen for a contribution, $10,000 to Bethesda Cares for a daily lunch program, and $10,000 to Crossroads Community Food Network for nutritious food programs. It also supported Meals on Wheels of Takoma Park Silver Spring with $10,000 for food distribution.
Housing stability and shelter-related work also appears frequently. One grant went to MidCounty United Ministries for emergency rental and utility assistance, while Rebuilding Together DC Alexandria received support for a home repair program in both 2023 and 2025. For older adults, Cloudbreak funded Senior Services of Alexandria for a social isolation reduction program and The Fenwick Foundation for a social isolation and depression program.
Children and youth are another part of the portfolio. The foundation supported Horizons Greater Washington for a children’s summer program and Liberty’s Promise for a civic engagement program.
