Dove Givings Foundation II concentrates its giving on organizations that use design- and community-driven approaches to improve neighborhoods and serve underserved populations. With only two equal-sized grants in this dataset, the foundation appears to favor sizable, targeted awards to nonprofits doing place-based community development and direct social services. The choices suggest an interest in practical, on-the-ground interventions rather than broad institutional philanthropy.
Concentrated: very few, relatively large unrestricted grants of equal size to mission-driven, place-based nonprofits; appears to make targeted investments rather than many small grants.
Notable grantees: Dreams In Deed, Kounkuey Design Initiative
Dove Givings Foundation II makes some of its largest awards to organizations working at the intersection of design, neighborhood change, and direct community support. The 2025 grant to Kounkuey Design Initiative for $75,000 is one example of that pattern: the funder backs a group known for community-centered design work. Another $75,000 grant, this time to Dreams in Deed in 2024, points to interest in place-based efforts that support underserved communities. The foundation’s recent awards also show a steady mix of neighborhood development, housing, youth, and social-service organizations. Bronx Lacrosse received multiple grants, including $50,000 in 2023 and $40,000 in both 2024 and 2025, while The Fuller Center for Housing received $45,000 in 2024 and $20,000 in 2025. Those repeated awards suggest that Dove Givings Foundation II does not rely only on one-off gifts; it supports some groups across more than one year. Across the dataset, the foundation gives nationally, but its grant choices cluster around organizations serving communities with practical, on-the-ground programs rather than broad institutional funding.
In community-led urban design and public space work, Dove Givings Foundation II gave $75,000 to Kounkuey Design Initiative in 2025. That grant fits a pattern of supporting organizations that shape neighborhoods through design and community participation. In neighborhood stabilization and housing-related work, the foundation awarded $45,000 to The Fuller Center for Housing in 2024 and $20,000 in 2025. It also gave $25,000 in 2025 to Central Mission Clearing House, showing support for local infrastructure that helps communities coordinate services. Youth and family-oriented grants appear as well. The foundation gave $42,500 to Young Life in 2025, $20,000 to Focus on the Family in 2024, and $20,000 to Raw Tools Philly in 2025. These awards indicate interest in program support for organizations serving people directly through structured services and community-based programming.
Typical grant size is $2,750 at the 25th percentile, $5,000 at the median, and $11,250 at the 75th percentile, but the recent grants list also includes awards well above that range. Dove Givings Foundation II appears to make repeated grants to some recipients across multiple years, including Bronx Lacrosse, Dreams in Deed, The Fuller Center for Housing, and Young Life. The foundation is classified as a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
