About Legacy Global Programs
Legacy Global Programs combines fiscal sponsorship with charitable grantmaking, and that structure shows up in its recent awards: the largest listed grant is $2,152,565 to Schwab Charitable for general program support. The foundation also supports programs that are still being incubated, describing fiscal sponsorship services that handle donations and compliance until a program can spin off as its own nonprofit. That helps explain why many of its grants are labeled general program support rather than tightly restricted project funding. Its recent giving reaches several fields at once, including education, health and human services, environment, media production, community development, and religion. A few grants illustrate the range. It gave $990,000 to Thoughtful Tech Project Inc for general program support, $487,104 to The Yucatan Education Project for education, and $246,000 to Virgin Unite USA Inc for general program support. The foundation also appears to use capital for both operating support and program incubation, with grants to entities such as Community Development Program Fund in Mesa and Research Program Fund in Mesa. Across the recent grants list, the pattern is broad rather than single-issue, with support extended to public charities, program funds, and community organizations.

That mix includes a project fund, a school, and a university. Health and human services also appears repeatedly. The foundation gave $200,000 to Intermountain Foundation for health human services, $150,000 to Venice Family Clinic for health human services, and $39,710 to Gateway For Cancer Research inc for health human services. Environmental work shows up through both operating support and direct program support. Grants include $103,879 to Ecosystems Program Fund for environment support and $100,376 to Trees For The Future Inc for environment. Media and communications appear in the $80,000 grant to Utah Film Center for media production.
