The Kasperick Foundation concentrates on economic inclusion for the ultra-poor in low‑ and middle‑income countries, funding poverty graduation, microfinance, and agricultural finance models that build livelihoods. It backs a small number of specialized international NGOs with sizable, program‑focused grants aimed at entrepreneurship, asset transfers, and market-based farm finance across Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia.
Kasperick Foundation’s recent giving is shaped by a repeated focus on ultra-poor graduation and market-based livelihoods. The largest grant in the file, $700,117 in 2024, went to The Boma Project for ultra-poor graduation in Kenya, and another major award of $508,087 supported Village Enterprises for ultra-poor graduation in Mexico and Uganda. That same pattern extends across several countries and implementing organizations: the foundation backs programs that move households toward income generation through entrepreneurship, asset transfer, microfinance, and agricultural finance. The grant list shows a funder working through specialized nonprofits rather than broad public campaigns. In 2024, it gave $350,000 to Entrepreneurs Du Monde for microfinance in Myanmar and Burkina Faso, while $400,000 in 2023 went to Myagro Farms for agricultural finance in Senegal and Mali. Other awards support similar livelihood models in Guatemala, Egypt, Mozambique, El Salvador, and Kenya. Across the file, Kasperick Foundation appears to favor program-specific grants to organizations with defined country portfolios and poverty-alleviation strategies.
Ultra-poor graduation is one of the clearest throughlines in Kasperick Foundation’s giving. It awarded $275,000 to Trickle Up Program for ultra-poor graduation in Mexico in 2024, and $257,803 to Village Enterprise for ultra-poor graduation in Mexico in 2023. The Boma Project also received multiple grants for ultra-poor graduation in Kenya, including $137,105 in 2023. The foundation also funds agricultural finance for smallholder farmers. Myagro Farms received $200,000 in 2024 and $400,000 in 2023 for agricultural finance in Senegal and Mali, while Acceso Impact received $100,000 in 2024 for agricultural finance in El Salvador. In microfinance, the foundation supported Friendship Bridge for Guatemala, New Horizon Association for Egypt, and Africaworks Para Comunidades Rurais for Mozambique. These awards point to a consistent interest in income generation through savings, credit, and farm-input finance.
Typical grant size is clustered at $100,000, with p25, median, and p75 all at $100,000, and the upper quartile at $200,000. The file also includes larger program grants, including $700,117 and $508,087, which suggests a mix of standard-sized awards and a smaller number of larger commitments. The same organizations appear in multiple years, including The Boma Project, Village Enterprise, Myagro Farms, Entrepreneurs Du Monde, Working Capital for Community Needs, Friendship Bridge, New Horizon Association, and Africaworks Para Comunidades Rurais. That repeat pattern points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation does not fund individuals and is not identified as making program-related investments.
