About Now and Tomorrow
This small, focused foundation directs its entire documented giving to a single partner organization, Now and Tomorrow Uganda, to support education and vocational training for refugees. Its philanthropy appears targeted and international, prioritizing practical skills and educational access for displaced populations in Uganda rather than a broad portfolio of causes or geographies.

About Now and Tomorrow
Now and Tomorrow’s largest documented grants go to one partner in Nakivale Refugee Settlement: $55,200 in 2024 and $51,345 in 2023 to Now and Tomorrow Uganda for education and training services for refugees. That repeated support defines the foundation’s pattern more clearly than a broad portfolio would. Most of the documented giving follows the same channel, with program funding routed through Now and Tomorrow Uganda for school readiness, community construction, and knowledge-sharing work tied to refugee life in Uganda. The foundation also extends selective support to a small set of U.S.-based organizations, but its clearest throughline is direct, practical assistance for displaced communities. Alongside the main Uganda grant, the recent record includes modest gifts to education, food security, health services, and child-welfare organizations. The overall picture is of a small foundation with concentrated grantmaking, using both international program support and targeted U.S. grants to back service delivery rather than broad advocacy or unrestricted funding.
What Now and Tomorrow Funds
Education is central to the foundation’s work in Uganda. In 2024, it gave $55,200 to Now and Tomorrow Uganda for education and training services for refugees, and the program set also includes SOMA, a school readiness effort for children in Nakivale settlement. Community infrastructure is another recurring theme: JENGA!!! JENGA!!! and KURA!!! both support community-initiated building efforts in Nakivale through Now and Tomorrow Uganda. Agriculture and food security appear through UBUMENYI, a settlement-wide project to discover and disseminate crop and agricultural knowledge, and through a separate grant to Heifer International for agriculture support and livestock grants. In the U.S., the foundation also backed Food Lifeline for food distribution across Puget Sound.
How Now and Tomorrow Gives
Now and Tomorrow’s typical grants are small, with a p25 of $200, a median of $425, and a p75 of $1,250. The documented record shows a strong split between one large recurring international grant and many smaller targeted awards. Now and Tomorrow Uganda received the two largest grants in consecutive years, while several U.S.-based recipients appear once or twice. The foundation is structured as a private foundation rather than an operating grantmaker, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Grantmaking is selective rather than open: the active programs say unsolicited applications are not accepted.
