The Devils Care Foundation concentrates its giving on local youth recreation and community development, primarily supporting the team-affiliated Devils Youth Foundation with unrestricted operating support. Grants are focused in the Newark/greater New Jersey area and emphasize sports-based youth programming and neighborhood capacity-building. Funding is simple and flexible (unrestricted), suggesting a preference for sustaining core operations of trusted partners.
Highly concentrated giving: few, relatively large grants with the majority of dollars going to one repeat grantee (Devils Youth Foundation). Grants are unrestricted and operational in nature, indicating long-term partnership support rather than many small or one-off grants.
A single organization sits at the center of the Devils Care Foundation Inc F/k/a New Jersey Devils Foundation Inc’s grantmaking: Devils Youth Foundation. In 2025, it received a $107,282 unrestricted grant, and it also appears in prior years with $100,000 grants in 2023 and 2024. That repeated support shows a clear preference for sustaining a trusted partner over time rather than making one-off awards. The foundation’s giving is tightly tied to youth recreation, especially hockey-related programming and broader community support in New Jersey. Unrestricted awards also go to Newark-based neighborhood and service organizations such as United Community Corporation, Boys and Girls Club of Newark, Covenant House New Jersey, and Hockey in New Jersey, indicating a focus on keeping local programs operating with flexibility. Other recipients in the recent-grants list include youth sports, food access, and community-serving groups, all funded through general support rather than restricted project grants. The pattern is local and relationship-based. Most grants stay in Newark and nearby New Jersey cities, and the same types of organizations recur across years. The foundation’s portfolio suggests an emphasis on organizational stability, youth-serving infrastructure, and community capacity in the state where its giving is most concentrated.
Youth sports are a clear priority. In 2023, the foundation gave $18,488 to Hockey in New Jersey in Newark, and it followed with $10,474 in 2024 and $10,391 in 2025 to the same organization, all as unrestricted support. Community development also appears in the recent-grants record. United Community Corporation in Newark received a $60,000 unrestricted grant in 2025, placing neighborhood services alongside sports programming in the funding mix. The foundation also supports youth-serving social-service organizations. Boys and Girls Club of Newark received $10,000 in 2025, while Covenant House New Jersey in Newark also received $10,000 that year. These awards fit a pattern of general operating support for organizations that serve young people in Newark and surrounding communities. Education and enrichment show up as well through grants to Great Oaks Legacy Charter School and Aspira Inc of New Jersey, both in Newark, reinforcing the foundation’s interest in local youth development beyond the rink.

Typical awards are modest and clustered: the p25 grant size is $5,184, the median is $6,544, and the p75 is $8,473. Recent grants include a few much larger operating gifts, but most awards stay in a relatively narrow band. The record shows recurring support rather than isolated transactions.
