Forest Glen Impact Foundation prioritizes unrestricted, general operating support for community-based relief organizations, with a strong emphasis on food security and emergency assistance. Their giving mixes large, targeted gifts to regional food banks and repeat support for small local nonprofits, while also making selective grants to international humanitarian groups and mission-driven community projects. Grants tend to be flexible (general & unrestricted) rather than program-specific, indicating trust in grantee leadership.
Concentrated portfolio of a few mid-to-large unrestricted grants, with repeat funding to select grantees; emphasis on flexible general support rather than many small, project-specific awards.
Forest Glen Impact Foundation’s recent giving is defined by flexible support for community-based relief groups, especially organizations working on food security and emergency assistance. The largest grant in the record is a $70,000 general-and-unrestricted award to Shaohannahs Hope Inc in Franklin, Tennessee, followed by a $50,000 grant to the same organization in 2023. That repeat support points to a pattern of backing the same nonprofit across years rather than only making one-off gifts. The foundation also made $40,000 general-and-unrestricted grants in both 2023 and 2024 to Second Harvest of Silicon Valley in San Jose, showing sustained support for hunger relief at a larger scale. Beyond those recurring awards, the foundation has also funded mission-driven community projects and conservation-related organizations, using unrestricted grants that leave operating decisions with the recipient. The overall mix suggests a funder that favors trust-based support for established organizations serving immediate community needs, rather than narrow project-specific funding.
Food security is a clear priority. Forest Glen Impact Foundation gave $40,000 in 2024 to Second Harvest of Silicon Valley in San Jose, and it also supported Feeding America with $25,000 in 2024. Emergency and humanitarian aid appears alongside that hunger-relief work: the foundation awarded $25,000 in 2024 to World Vision in Federal Way and $20,000 to the same organization in 2023, both as general and unrestricted support. The grant record also includes community-centered mission work, such as $35,000 in 2023 to Novo Mission Inc in Anaheim for the SentWell - La Morada fund. Another strand runs through local community and culture-related organizations, including grants to Monterey Bay Aquarium Foundation, Conservation Society of California, and Happy Hollow Corporation, all given as general and unrestricted support.
Typical grants cluster around the middle of the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $15,000, a median of $20,000, and a p75 of $35,000. The grant list shows repeat awards across multiple years to several recipients, including Shaohannahs Hope Inc, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, Feeding America, World Vision, Conservation Society of California, Cityteam Ministries, Monterey Bay Aquarium Foundation, and Happy Hollow Corporation. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. The foundation is a grantmaker, not an individual donor program, and it does not make program-related investments or grants to individuals. The recent awards are mostly general and unrestricted.
