The Drew Foundation concentrates its giving on a few large, multi-year general-purpose grants that span education, workforce development for veterans and underserved adults, health (notably prostate cancer), and local hunger relief. It repeatedly funds the same institutions — particularly Salem Academy & College and organizations focused on job training and veteran support — suggesting strategic, sustained partnerships rather than one-off donations. Grants are often unrestricted or listed as "general charitable purpose," giving recipients flexibility in how funds are used.
Drew Foundation’s recent giving is defined by large, repeated general-charitable-purpose grants to a small set of institutions. The biggest award in the file is $1,833,000 to The Salem Academy & College in 2025, followed by another seven-figure pattern with Rework Training, which received $1,252,000 in 2024 and $1,000,290 in 2025. That same concentration shows up in health and veteran-related giving as well, with Prostate Cancer Foundation receiving $1,065,000 in 2024, $1,000,000 in 2023, and $565,000 in 2025, and Sentinels of Freedom receiving $1,000,000 in 2023. The foundation also supports organizations tied to local needs and community services, including Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, which received $600,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025. Across the recent grants list, the pattern is consistent: substantial awards, often repeated over multiple years, directed to organizations that appear to be long-term partners rather than one-time recipients.
Education appears through support for Salem Academy & College, which received $1,833,000 in 2025 and $833,000 in 2024, both listed as general charitable purpose grants. Workforce development is another clear thread: Rework Training received $1,252,000 in 2024 and $1,000,290 in 2025, while Rework Project received $1,042,000 in 2023. Health funding includes prostate cancer work, with Prostate Cancer Foundation receiving $1,065,000 in 2024, $1,000,000 in 2023, and $565,000 in 2025. Community food support also appears through Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, which received $600,000 in each of three consecutive years.
Typical grant size is large: the 25th percentile is $86,250, the median is $100,000, and the 75th percentile is $387,500. The recent grants list shows repeated support to the same recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which points to sustained funding relationships rather than one-off awards. Grants are listed as general charitable purpose, and the foundation does not fund individuals. The pattern is also broad-based in subject matter, but the awards themselves are often unrestricted or general-purpose rather than tied to a narrow project.
