About Genworth Foundation
The Genworth Foundation concentrates its giving on philanthropic infrastructure and local basic needs, using large, targeted grants rather than many small awards. A majority of its funds flow to grantmaking intermediaries and online giving platforms that facilitate donations, while a significant local gift supports hunger relief in the Richmond area. The foundation appears to prioritize scalable giving mechanisms and direct support for food security.

About Genworth Foundation
A defining feature of Genworth Foundation’s recent giving is the scale of its support for grantmaking infrastructure: The Blackbaud Giving Fund received $2,538,222 in 2025 and $1,741,792 in 2024, alongside $832,719 to American Online Giving Foundation in 2023. Those awards sit next to direct community grants, showing a mix of intermediary funding and place-based support. The foundation also made a $1,000,000 grant to Feed More Inc in Richmond, Virginia, pointing to a clear interest in basic-needs work close to its Virginia footprint. Across the recent grants list, Genworth Foundation funds general support rather than tightly segmented project awards. Its recipients include community organizations, food assistance providers, education-related institutions, and nonprofit intermediaries. The pattern suggests a funder that uses flexible grants to support nonprofit operations and donation channels, while still making sizable awards to selected local partners. Smaller grants appear alongside six- and seven-figure commitments, indicating a range that reaches from modest operating support to major infrastructure gifts.
