About Moneygram Foundation
The MoneyGram Foundation prioritizes youth economic empowerment, financial inclusion and workforce pathways both in the U.S. (notably Texas) and in lower‑income countries. They fund programs that teach financial literacy, entrepreneurship, job training and reentry/internship opportunities for justice‑involved or disconnected youth, and also support humanitarian relief through established international partners. Grants are typically mid‑level awards to programmatic initiatives rather than long‑term general operating endowments.

Who They Fund
About Moneygram Foundation
Moneygram Foundation Inc’s recent giving is anchored by grants for youth economic mobility and crisis response, with awards that reach from Texas workforce programs to international education and relief partners. One of the largest recent commitments was $150,000 to Save the Children for the Children’s Emergency Fund, alongside $60,000 grants to Café Momentum for an internship program for justice-involved youth and to Best Buddies for a jobs program in Texas. The foundation’s portfolio points to a consistent interest in practical pathways into work and financial capability. It has funded financial literacy, entrepreneurship education, career training, and reentry or internship support, often through program-specific grants rather than unrestricted support. Its recipients include organizations serving school-aged participants, young workers, and families, as well as conflict-affected communities and low-income households. The pattern also extends beyond the U.S., with grants to partners in Mexico, Italy, Poland, the UK, and other countries. Annual grants on file total $850,327, and the most recent 990 year is 2025.

How Moneygram Foundation Gives
Typical grant size clusters tightly around mid-level awards: the p25 is $48,802, the median is $50,000, and the p75 is $60,000. The recent list includes both a large outlier at $150,000 and a small 2025 follow-on grant of $2,724, but most awards sit near the $50,000–$60,000 range. The funder’s recent activity is mostly program-restricted rather than general operating support. The data shows repeated support for Save the Children across 2023 and 2025, suggesting some continuity in giving rather than one-off-only relationships. Moneygram Foundation Inc also funds individuals and does not make program-related investments.
