JE Foundation concentrates its giving on advancing liberty-oriented public policy by channeling substantial support through a single donor-advised intermediary. All recorded grants go to Donors Trust, indicating the foundation prioritizes funding for limited government, personal responsibility, and free enterprise causes—likely at the national policy and advocacy level. The foundation operates as a pass-through funder rather than making direct operating or program grants to frontline nonprofits.
Je Foundation’s recorded grantmaking is anchored by a recurring three-year relationship with Donors Trust Inc., including a $1,375,000 grant in 2025, a $1,360,000 grant in 2024, and a $1,050,000 grant in 2023, all to support liberty through limited government, personal responsibility, and free enterprise. That pattern signals a pass-through style of funding rather than a portfolio of direct operating grants. Beyond that intermediary, the foundation also backs a small set of service and community organizations in California and a few national causes. The grants show support for arts education, Alzheimer’s research and care, music programs for veterans and health care workers, survivor services for military families, and assistance for children and families facing housing, health, or access challenges. Named recipients include Orange County School of the Arts, Orange County Music and Dance Inc, and Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors. Je Foundation’s giving record suggests a blend of policy-oriented support through an intermediary and targeted project grants to nonprofit organizations serving specific local and national populations.
A notable theme in Je Foundation’s grants is support for arts education and youth programming. In 2023, it gave $150,000 to Orange County School of the Arts for the arts conservatory program, and it followed with a $70,000 grant in 2024 for the same purpose. Another area is Alzheimer’s care and research: the foundation awarded $75,000 to Alzheimer's Disease Research Foundation in 2023 and $25,000 in 2024 and 2025 for research support to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, while also giving $25,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 to Alzheimers Family Services Center for care and daily activities for patients. It also funds services for families under strain, including $25,000 to Families Forward in 2025 to provide access to housing and resources to prevent and end family homelessness.
Je Foundation’s typical grant size is modest relative to its largest awards: the 25th percentile is $20,000, the median is $25,000, and the 75th percentile is $72,500. The distribution is shaped by a few very large grants and many smaller project grants. The clearest repeat pattern is multi-year support: Donors Trust Inc. appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and several California nonprofits also recur across years. The foundation is a private foundation, not a donor-advised fund, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The record indicates grantmaking is through nonprofit recipients rather than unsolicited individual support.

Highly concentrated: all funding is large and channeled to a single intermediary (Donors Trust) across multiple grants, suggesting a strategy of enabling targeted, discretionary regranting to ideological partners rather than direct grantee relationships.
