About Obinnah Foundation
The Obinnah Foundation concentrates its giving on faith-driven poverty relief and overseas assistance, with most funding directed to a Nigerian diaspora charity and a local evangelical church. Grants support medical and educational aid for indigent Nigerians and local Christian-led services for the poor, indicating a mix of international diaspora impact and neighborhood faith-based charity work. The foundation makes few, relatively large gifts and tends to repeat support to the same organizations.

About Obinnah Foundation
A defining feature of Obinnah Foundation’s grantmaking is its repeated support for SCM of Nigeria North America Inc., including a $49,500 grant in 2023, a $39,000 grant in 2024, and a $48,700 grant in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that backs a small number of recipients with meaningful awards rather than spreading donations broadly. The foundation’s recent grants combine faith-based work, medical aid, and education, with a strong throughline of assistance for indigent Nigerians and related diaspora networks. In the recent record, it also funded local Christian-led poverty relief in Aurora and smaller gifts to organizations serving widows, orphans, children, and people needing medical help. The mix suggests two connected lanes of giving: overseas assistance tied to Nigerian communities and nearby faith-centered service work in Colorado. Several grants explicitly pair Christian programming with support for the poor, while others emphasize medical care, education, and child welfare. Recipients in the dataset include Calvary Church Aurora, Project CURE, Advocates for Children, and Shalom Global Medical Missions.
What Obinnah Foundation Funds
Faith-based poverty relief is central to the foundation’s recent giving. It awarded $11,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2025 to Calvary Church Aurora for “Promote Christianity assist poor.” Medical support appears in both domestic and international forms. In 2025, Obinnah Foundation gave $5,000 to Project CURE for “Medical supplies to struggling countries,” and $1,000 to Shalom Global Medical Missions for “Medical care for foreign indigents.” Child and family services are another visible theme: it gave $3,500 in 2025 to Advocates for Children for “Child welfare Foster Care in Colorado,” and $1,000 in 2025 to World Orphan for “Child welfare - global.” The foundation also supports Nigerian communities directly, including a $1,500 grant to Amaetiti in NA for “Medical care for the poor in Asaga Ohafia Abia State State.”
How Obinnah Foundation Gives
Typical grant sizes are small to moderate, with a p25 of $1,000, a median of $2,000, and a p75 of $4,650. The pattern includes both one-time gifts and repeated support across years, especially to recurring recipients such as SCM of Nigeria North America Inc. and Calvary Church Aurora. That repeat funding suggests a relationship-based approach rather than a broad open-application model. The foundation is not a program-related-investment funder, and it also funds individuals. Recent grants show a mix of larger anchor awards and many smaller awards clustered at $1,000 to $2,500.
