CoreGiving Co focuses almost exclusively on fighting food insecurity in the United States, channeling multi-year and repeat grants to regional food banks, food rescue organizations, and hunger-relief networks. Their giving is geographically broad but prioritizes major metropolitan hubs and areas affected by acute need (e.g., Maui). The foundation favors established operational partners that deliver food distribution, rescue, and emergency hunger relief rather than small pilots or advocacy groups.
Highly concentrated on one sector (hunger relief) with repeated, mid-to-large sized grants to the same set of established organizations across multiple years; geographically distributed to regional hubs and high-need areas rather than many small, one-off grants.
CoreGiving Co directs almost all of its grantmaking toward fighting food insecurity in the United States, and it does so through established hunger-relief operators rather than small pilots. The largest recent award in the record is $476,129 to Maui Food Bank in Wailuku, a clear signal that the foundation will scale up for disaster-related hunger needs as well as ongoing food access gaps. Other large grants show the same operating style: it supports food banks and redistribution networks that already serve major urban areas, including Central Texas Food Bank in Austin, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank in Los Angeles, and Food for Free Committee in Cambridge. The pattern is practical and service-oriented. Grantees tend to be regional food banks, Feeding America affiliates, and food rescue organizations that can move food quickly through warehousing, distribution, pantry support, and emergency response. CoreGiving Co’s giving reaches multiple parts of the country, but the recipient list consistently points to big metro systems and places facing acute need, with repeated awards to the same organizations across years.
A central theme is direct food distribution through regional food banks. CoreGiving Co gave $192,132 to Central Texas Food Bank Inc in Austin for fighting hunger in the U.S., and $114,315 to Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank in San Diego for the same purpose. It also funds local-scale distribution systems in major cities, including $108,457 to Atlanta Community Food Bank in Atlanta. Disaster-related food relief is another visible thread. The foundation’s $476,129 grant to Maui Food Bank in Wailuku shows an ability to support emergency hunger response when need spikes. Food rescue and redistribution also appear in the portfolio: Food for Free Committee Inc in Cambridge received $184,026 for fighting hunger in the U.S., with another $103,224 grant in 2025. Across these awards, the purpose text stays tightly focused on hunger relief rather than broader social services.
CoreGiving Co’s typical grant size falls in a middle-band range: the 25th percentile is $20,536, the median is $38,814, and the 75th percentile is $65,662. The grants in the recent record are much larger than that median at the top end, indicating some sizable operating support alongside smaller awards. The same organizations recur across multiple years, including Second Harvest Food Bank Central Florida Inc, St Mary’s Food Bank Alliance, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, and Feeding San Diego, which points to repeat support rather than one-time-only giving. CoreGiving Co is a public charity and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
