About In-N-Out Burgers Foundation
A defining pattern in In-n-out Burgers Foundation’s recent giving is its support for capital work tied to child welfare services, including a $600,000 grant to Olive Crest for its Family Hosting Program and a $250,000 grant to Door of Hope for a new family housing building campaign. That emphasis fits the foundation’s stated purpose: assisting children and youth who have been victims of child abuse and neglect, while supporting prevention, intervention, and restoration programs. Recent grants show a mix of facility projects and direct service support, including renovations, program expansions, and operating help for organizations working with foster youth, children in crisis, and families facing instability. The foundation also supported major service infrastructure at Yolo Crisis Nursery with a $202,500 grant for a building campaign and general operating support, and gave $200,000 to Mary’s Path for STRTP renovations. Those awards point to a funder that backs both physical capacity and service delivery for nonprofits serving abused and neglected children. Its grantmaking is regional, with most grants concentrated in California, but the recent grant list also includes organizations in Oregon, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and other western states.
What In-N-Out Burgers Foundation Funds
Child welfare and foster care organizations appear throughout the foundation’s giving. It awarded $50,000 to Five Acres for a residential cottage renovation project and another $50,000 to the same organization for general operating support, showing interest in both facilities and day-to-day capacity. In youth homelessness and housing, it gave $127,000 to Gap Ministries for Hope Campus and commercial kitchen updates, and $50,000 to Just in Time for Foster Youth for basic needs. Court-connected and forensic services also receive support: Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital Foundation received $50,000 for the Resiliency Institute for Childhood Adversity, including children’s assessment center therapy rooms and forensic interview rooms. Kinship and permanency work is another theme, with Foster Kinship receiving $50,000 for its Enhanced Kinship Navigator Program.
How In-N-Out Burgers Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster tightly around small-to-mid six figures and five figures: the 25th percentile is $7,500, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is $15,250. The recent grant list shows a separate upper tier for larger project and program awards, including multiple $50,000 grants and a few awards above $200,000. The foundation is a public charity and a regular funder, and it also runs an unsolicited General Grants program. Recipients recur across years: Olive Crest, Mary’s Path, Five Acres, and Alliance for Children’s Rights each appear more than once in the recent grants list, suggesting continuing relationships rather than one-time awards.
