About Ele Lembra Foundation
The Ele Lembra Foundation concentrates its giving on a very small set of recipients, primarily channeling large sums through a recurring pass-through vehicle (Program Chance Funding) and supporting residential/therapeutic programs for troubled youth. Grants are few but sizable, suggesting the foundation prefers targeted, high-dollar interventions rather than broad, distributed philanthropy.
