Mercury One is committed to doing good by providing humanitarian aid, preserving heritage, and empowering all to stand for truth. We restore communities after natural disasters, rescue individuals from human trafficking and abuse, support veterans, and preserve and teach history through The American Journey Experience Museum and research library.
Mercury One Inc. concentrates its giving on emergency response, with large grants flowing to organizations that provide housing, food, rescue support, and other direct aid after disasters or in conflict settings. Its recent awards also show sustained support for organizations serving persecuted religious minorities, especially through The Nazarene Fund and Shai Fund Inc., alongside grants tied to humanitarian support in Israel and the Middle East. The foundation’s largest recent grant in the data was $3,600,077 to The Nazarene Fund LLC for housing, food, and other support, followed by $1,250,668 to The Nazarene Fund for the same purpose. Other major awards include $557,500 to Operation BBQ Relief for disaster relief and $530,000 to Team Rubicon for natural disaster response. Mercury One Inc. also supports veterans services, human trafficking and abuse response, and history education through The American Journey Experience Museum and research library, which places relief work alongside longer-term mission-driven programming.
In disaster relief, Mercury One Inc. gave $557,500 to Operation BBQ Relief for disaster relief and $530,000 to Team Rubicon for natural disaster response, showing support for organizations that work on the ground after emergencies. In humanitarian and conflict-related aid, it awarded $393,594 to United Hatzalah of Israel for humanitarian support and $135,000 to HaYovel for a grant to Aide Israel. The foundation also funds survivor support and anti-trafficking work: $289,000 went to Freedom Shield Foundation for humanitarian aid, and its program descriptions include rescue efforts, training, research, and victim support through nonprofit partners. Veterans-related grantmaking appears as well, including $120,000 to Mighty Oaks Foundation for humanitarian aid.
Mercury One Inc. gives at a fairly large scale: the 25th percentile grant is $40,000, the median is $75,000, and the 75th percentile is $188,182. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including The Nazarene Fund, Operation BBQ Relief, Operation Blessing, Team Rubicon, Shai Fund Inc., and Freedom Shield Foundation. The foundation is an operating-style grantmaker with national reach, and it also uses unrestricted funding through its Maximum Impact Fund to deploy support quickly and underwrite overhead for partner initiatives. The grant records do not show an open unsolicited application process, and the active programs indicate unsolicited requests are not accepted.

The grant-size distribution centers on mid-sized awards: the 25th percentile is $40,000, the median is $75,000, and the 75th percentile is $188,182. Recent grants include both smaller $69,000–$75,000 awards and larger six- and seven-figure gifts.

Several recipients appear in multiple years, including The Nazarene Fund, Operation BBQ Relief, Operation Blessing, Team Rubicon, Shai Fund Inc., and Freedom Shield Foundation. That pattern suggests repeated support for selected partners rather than one-off awards only.
