Legacy Global Foundation’s recent grantmaking is shaped by a large mix of general mission support and a few high-dollar pass-through gifts, including $2,152,565 to Schwab Charitable and $1,225,026 to Bank of America Charitable Gift Fund. The foundation also gave $990,000 to Thoughtful Tech Project Inc and $616,091 to Legacy Global Programs in 2025, showing that its activity includes both intermediary vehicles and direct operating support. Across the latest grants on file, the foundation appears to use broad charitable support rather than a single narrow program line, with gifts reaching religion, health, education, environment, social welfare, and community development organizations. A notable pattern is the presence of multiple grants tied to Legacy Global Programs entities in Mesa, alongside several large awards to Utah-based organizations and national charities. The grant list also includes recipients such as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and The Yucatan Education Project, which suggests a blend of local, national, and mission-aligned giving. The foundation’s current profile shows a national scope of giving and a broad charitable mandate that includes general operating and unrestricted support.
In religion-related giving, the foundation awarded $570,000 to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake City for general mission support, and another $187,277 to the same organization in Provo for the same purpose. In health and human services, it gave $150,000 to Population Services International in Washington, DC, again for general mission support, and $100,000 each to Intermountain Foundation Primary Children's Hospital and Intermountain Health Care Foundation in Salt Lake City. Environmental work also appears in the record: Trees for the Future Inc received $100,376 in Silver Spring for general mission support, and Ocean Voyages Institute received $122,146 in Sausalito. Education and scholarship-related support includes $487,104 to The Yucatan Education Project in Independence and $100,000 to Seattle Christian Schools in Seatac.
Typical grants cluster around a median of $24,874, with a lower quartile of $10,000 and an upper quartile of $98,762. The recent record shows both very large grants and many smaller awards, including repeated support to some recipients across 2024 and 2025. The foundation is a regular funder and also makes program-related investments. Its active programs show multiple giving channels: donor-advised funds, fiscal sponsorship, and disbursements from existing Legacy Funds. That structure fits a funder that supports both external charities and its own fundholder services.
