Inspire Confidence. Empower Change.
Kpmg US Foundation Inc’s most distinctive recent activity is a multi-million-dollar AI Impact Initiative aimed at helping nonprofits integrate AI into operations and helping future workers build AI skills. That sits alongside a broader grantmaking program focused on Education, Mental Health, and Community Vitality in communities where KPMG U.S. operates. Recent grants show a mix of large operating support and targeted philanthropic partnerships, including a $1,750,000 grant to The Phd Project Association for operations and a $1,367,255 grant to Globalgiving Foundation Inc for operations. The foundation also funds disaster response through its GlobalGiving partnership, giving it a structure that combines long-term program support with rapid-response funding. Across the recent awards, the foundation’s funding touches college readiness, career preparation, educator support, mental health access and practitioner training, and neighborhood investments tied to housing and food security. The recipient list includes national intermediaries, universities, and community-based organizations, suggesting a model that works both through large platforms and through direct support to nonprofits. Kpmg US Foundation Inc is a regular funder rather than an individual-giving vehicle, and its grantmaking is managed through restricted programs rather than open solicitation.
Education appears in several forms. Kpmg US Foundation Inc gave $750,000 to The University of Texas at Austin for operations, and its general program description includes college readiness, career preparation, and educator support. Mental health is another clear theme. The foundation awarded $750,000 to Nami National for operations, while the program language also points to awareness, access, and practitioner training. Community Vitality shows up through place-based support and basic-needs work. A $1,000,000 grant went to Henry Street Settlement for operations, and the foundation’s stated community-vitality focus includes housing, food security, and neighborhood investments. Technology and workforce skills are also emerging through the AI Impact Initiative, which is designed to help nonprofits adopt AI tools and to equip future workers with AI skills.
Typical grant size sits at a p25 of $10,000, a median of $20,000, and a p75 of $47,287, but the recent awards also include a much larger operating-support tier. The pattern is heavily relationship-based: the foundation is a regular funder, not an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not accept unsolicited applications in the programs listed. Multiple grantees appear across years, including Globalgiving Foundation Inc in 2023, 2024, and 2025, which signals recurring support rather than one-off gifts. The structure mixes direct grants, partnership funding, and restricted matching or challenge-style support.
