Supporting charitable initiatives and transforming lives.
A single $1,200,000 grant to the Medal of Honor Museum for security system materials and labor stands out in the latest filing and points to the Convergint Cares Foundation’s core pattern: support tied to security infrastructure, training, and charitable initiatives. The foundation also made a $25,000 scholarship grant to Fast - Sia Rise Scholarship for security professionals, showing that its giving reaches both physical systems and workforce development in the security field. Convergint Cares Foundation operates as a public charity with annual grants of $1,225,000 and total assets of $103,474 on the latest 990 year on file. Its program framing emphasizes charitable initiatives intended to transform lives and strengthen communities, while the active program list includes STEP Up for Schools, which provides free interior and exterior security system installations, upgrades, assessments, and related services to qualifying underserved schools. That mix of grants and in-kind services places security systems, education, and community support at the center of the foundation’s work. The grant record suggests a funder that uses both large project support and smaller scholarship funding to advance security-related needs.
In security infrastructure, the foundation gave $1,200,000 to the Medal of Honor Museum for security system materials and labor. That grant shows direct support for installation-related costs rather than unrestricted philanthropy. Workforce development also appears in the record. The foundation awarded $25,000 to Fast - Sia Rise Scholarship for security professionals scholarships, linking its giving to professional education and training in the security sector. Its active program portfolio adds another layer: STEP Up for Schools provides free interior and exterior security system installations, upgrades, assessments, and related services to qualifying underserved schools. That program is explicitly in-kind and service-based, extending the foundation’s security focus beyond cash grants. Across these examples, the common thread is support for security systems, practitioners, and the institutions that receive those upgrades.
The two recent grants show a highly uneven size pattern: $25,000 at the lower end and $1,200,000 at the upper end, with annual grants totaling $1,225,000. That points to a mix of one large project grant and a much smaller scholarship award in the latest year on file. The foundation is organized as a public charity, not a private family foundation or donor-advised fund. Its active programming also includes STEP Up for Schools, which is a service and technology donation program rather than a cash-grant process. The available records show 2025 grants only, so recurring multiyear recipients cannot be established from the provided data.

The foundation’s giving geography is otherwise broad in program framing, with active programs listed as global and United States, but the grant record provided here is concentrated in Texas cities rather than the Illinois headquarters state.
