About Hoffman Family Foundation
The Hoffman Family Foundation’s recent grantmaking is built around one overseas education partner: WT HFF Uganda in Kampala. In 2023, the foundation gave $335,095 for bathrooms for kindergarten, additional teachers’ quarters, a covered dining pavilion, and creative arts department interior work at a school in Jinja, Uganda, plus related administrative expenses. In 2024, it followed with another $306,607 for school improvements and related administrative expenses. Those awards show a project-oriented pattern centered on school facilities rather than a wide portfolio of grantees. The grants point to a practical emphasis on the parts of a school that shape daily operations. The foundation has funded classroom-adjacent infrastructure, staff housing, dining space, and interior fit-out work tied to education delivery. Its giving is also linked to administrative support for the same organization, suggesting an ongoing relationship rather than isolated checks. A much smaller grant went to Shepherd's Heart Ministry in Parker, CO for ministry support, but the dominant pattern remains concentrated in Uganda through school-focused capital and operating support.
