The Many Fold Foundation concentrates its giving into a small number of large, unrestricted gifts that prioritize progressive K–12 education in the Atlanta area and sustainable agriculture/organic food systems nationally and in Georgia. It also supports community-based maternal health services. The foundation tends to make repeat grants to a handful of flagship organizations rather than spreading funding thinly across many groups.
Highly concentrated: a small number of very large, often unrestricted grants; multiple repeat awards to the same flagship grantees (Paideia School and Rodale Institute), indicating long-term core support rather than many one-off gifts.
Many Fold Foundation gives in a small number of large, unrestricted grants, with recurring support to the same core organizations over multiple years. The clearest example is Paideia School in Atlanta, which received $333,333 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern shows a funder comfortable making sizable, repeat awards rather than dispersing smaller gifts across many recipients. The foundation’s recent grantmaking also includes Rodale Institute in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, which received $250,000 in 2024, $203,006 in 2023, and $101,807 in 2025. In Georgia, Many Fold Foundation has backed Georgia Organics and Atlanta Birth Center, while smaller grants have gone to Freeflow Foundation, Pals Play and Learn International, and Three Magnolias Family Foundation. The mix points to a foundation that supports both education and food-system work, alongside a smaller set of community-serving organizations. Its grants are labeled unrestricted, and the recurring pattern suggests long-term relationships with selected grantees.
Progressive independent K–12 education is one of the foundation’s clearest priorities. In Atlanta, Paideia School received $333,333 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, all listed as unrestricted support. Organic and regenerative agriculture is another major theme. Rodale Institute in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, received $250,000 in 2024, $203,006 in 2023, and $101,807 in 2025, indicating repeated backing for research and training related to sustainable farming. The foundation also supports local food-system work in Georgia. Georgia Organics in Atlanta received $125,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2025. In maternal health, Atlanta Birth Center received $100,000 in 2024 for community-based birthing services.
Many Fold Foundation’s typical grant size is substantial: the p25 is $78,750, the median is $164,003, and the p75 is $270,833. That distribution fits a strategy of fewer, larger awards rather than broad small-grant outreach. The recent record also shows repeat funding across years, especially to the same organizations. All listed grants are unrestricted, and the foundation does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grant list suggests direct institutional giving rather than a public application-based process.
