About Homes for Heroes Foundation
Homes for Heroes Foundation makes a small number of sizable unrestricted contributions focused on veterans/military-related causes and local healthcare. In the most recent cycle the foundation split its $100,000 giving evenly between a national veterans organization (MOAA Foundation) and a regional hospital system philanthropy (Hennepin Healthcare Foundation), suggesting priorities around supporting military-related charities and strengthening local healthcare institutions.

Giving Approach
Concentrated giving: very few, relatively large grants (two $50,000 gifts) split between distinct sectors; appears to fund both national veteran-focused groups and local health systems rather than a broad portfolio.
Funding Style
About Homes for Heroes Foundation
Homes for Heroes Foundation’s grantmaking centers on nonprofit organizations that serve heroes in need, with funding tied to housing crises, disaster recovery, and health and family struggles. Recent support shows a clear pattern of unrestricted charitable contributions to veteran- and first-responder-related groups, alongside local healthcare philanthropy. In 2024, the foundation gave $50,000 to Hennepin Healthcare Foundation and $25,000 to Blue Star Families, reflecting attention to both regional health infrastructure and national military family support. Its recent grants also include fire, police, nursing, and veterans’ service organizations, indicating a broad definition of hero-focused charitable work. The foundation’s active grant programs reinforce that orientation: monthly Hero Grants, Emergency & Capacity Grants, and Legacy Grants all fund nonprofit hero organizations addressing urgent needs or expanding services. Across the recent grant list, awards are largely straightforward contributions for charitable efforts rather than restricted project grants, and the same general charitable frame appears repeatedly across recipients. The result is a funder that combines recurring support for emergency assistance with occasional larger commitments to organizations serving military communities and frontline responders.
What Homes for Heroes Foundation Funds
Veterans’ service and military-officer support are a visible part of the portfolio. Homes for Heroes Foundation gave $50,000 to Moaa Foundation for charitable efforts, and it also supported Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, Army Emergency Relief, Marine Corps League Foundation, and Veterans Community Project with $10,000 grants each. First responder and public-safety causes appear in parallel. The foundation awarded $25,000 to National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, $25,000 to Firefighters Cancer Support Network, and $10,000 each to Georgia Police K9 Foundation and Texas Municipal Police Association Charities Inc. Health and family support is another recurring theme: grants went to Nurses House Inc, Georgia Nurses Foundation, and Ezras Nashim, each at $10,000, while Little Patriots Embraced received $10,000 for charitable efforts. These gifts fit the foundation’s stated emphasis on serious medical needs, injury, bereavement, and related family support.
How Homes for Heroes Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster tightly around $10,000, with p25, median, and p75 all at $10,000. The recent record also shows a few larger awards at $20,000, $25,000, and $50,000, plus a smaller set of recurring major gifts. The foundation appears to make one-time contributions for charitable efforts rather than long-term operating grants to the same recipient, though some organizations appear in multiple years; Hennepin Healthcare Foundation received grants in both 2023 and 2024. Homes for Heroes Foundation’s active programs include monthly Hero Grants, Emergency & Capacity Grants, and Legacy Grants, and unsolicited applications are not accepted for the named programs that state that policy.
