The Cameron Schrier (Egg) Foundation concentrates its funding on higher education and university-based initiatives, with large institutional gifts rather than many small grants. Its recent giving is split almost entirely between major research/medical work at UCSF and support for Howard University, indicating a focus on university-scale impact and possibly health/medical research and access to higher education for underrepresented communities. Grants are sizable and made repeatedly to the same institutions, suggesting strategic partnerships with a small set of universities.
Highly concentrated: few, very large grants directed to a small number of recurring university grantees rather than many small organizations. Multiple grants to the same institutions indicate ongoing multi-year or multi-project commitments.
Egg Foundation Dba Cameron Schrier Foundation gives at university scale, with a recent pattern of repeated seven-figure and high-six-figure general support to a small set of institutions. UCSF Foundation received $1,000,000 in 2023 and $750,000 in both 2024 and 2025, while Howard University received $800,000 in 2023 and $700,000 in both 2024 and 2025. That repetition suggests multi-year institutional relationships rather than one-off awards. The foundation’s recent grants also reach beyond those two anchors. It gave $154,183 to Outer Coast in Sitka, Alaska in 2025 after similar awards in 2024 and 2023, and $151,759 to Larkin Street Youth Services in San Francisco in 2025 after prior gifts of $150,000 in 2024 and 2023. Other recent support includes Princeton University for Pringle Research in Gorongosa Mozambique and the South Africa Development Fund for multiple partners. Across the recent list, the foundation funds general support, academic and research institutions, youth-serving organizations, and education-related work. Its grantmaking pattern is large, recurring, and institution-centered, with activity spanning the United States and South Africa.
Higher education is a core theme. The foundation gave $150,000 in 2025 to Princeton University for Pringle Research in Gorongosa Mozambique, following the same amount in 2024 and 2023. It also supported the Center for Effective Global Action at the University of California Berkeley with $100,000 in 2023. Youth development appears in the grants to Outer Coast, which received $154,183 in 2025 after $153,492 in 2024 and $152,259 in 2023. Community services show up in the foundation’s support for Larkin Street Youth Services, including $151,759 in 2025. Education equity and public-interest work are also present. The South Africa Development Fund received $125,000 in 2023 for Saide Education Policy & Advocacy and $125,000 in 2024 for African Storybook at Saide, with additional support in later grants to related South Africa-based initiatives.
Typical grants fall in a mid-six-figure range, with a p25 of $35,000, median of $85,000, and p75 of $125,000, while the recent list also includes much larger awards to universities. Grants are often renewed across multiple years: UCSF Foundation, Howard University, Outer Coast, Larkin Street Youth Services, Princeton University, and South Africa Development Fund all appear more than once. The foundation is a regular funder rather than a DAF and does not fund individuals. Recent awards are mostly general support and appear to emphasize flexible, non-project-specific funding.
