The Olivia Jones Family Foundation directs most of its dollars into its own charitable fund while making a handful of modest, recurring grants to international relief, human rights, water/sanitation, and animal welfare organizations. Outside its internal grant vehicle, the foundation favors global humanitarian actors (emergency medical care, refugees, human rights advocacy) and a consistent interest in clean water access and humane treatment of animals.
A large share of the Olivia Jones Family Foundation’s giving flows through its own charitable fund: $433,108 in 2025 went to the Olivia Jones Family Charitable Fund in San Francisco. Outside that internal vehicle, the foundation makes modest grants to organizations working in emergency medical care, refugee assistance, human rights, clean water, and animal welfare. Its recent pattern shows repeated support for the same groups across multiple years, with grants in 2023 and 2024 to Water for People, International Rescue Committee, Doctors Without Borders, Amnesty International, and Animal Welfare Institute. Those recurring awards suggest a steady set of priorities rather than one-off interest in a single campaign. The foundation also funds a small but visible set of animal-welfare and child-feeding efforts, alongside humanitarian organizations serving people affected by armed conflict and communities facing basic-needs gaps. Grant amounts outside the family fund are generally modest, but the portfolio is broad enough to connect global relief, advocacy, and humane treatment of animals in the same grantmaking stream.
In water access and sanitation, the foundation gave $5,200 in 2023 and $4,000 in 2024 to Water for People to address the global water crisis and support lasting access to clean water and sanitation services. For conflict response, it gave $5,150 in 2023 and $4,000 in 2024 to International Rescue Committee to work with people affected by armed conflict worldwide. Emergency medical care appears in grants of $5,000 in 2023 and $4,000 in 2024 to Doctors Without Borders to help more patients receive emergency care. The foundation also backed human rights advocacy with $4,120 in 2023 and $4,000 in 2024 to Amnesty International to help fight abuses of human rights worldwide.
Typical grants are small: the p25 is $1,788, the median is $4,000, and the p75 is $4,780. That distribution matches a foundation that combines one very large internal transfer with a set of low-thousands external awards. Recipients also reappear across years: Water for People, International Rescue Committee, Doctors Without Borders, Amnesty International, Animal Welfare Institute, and Denver Dumb Friends League each received more than one grant in the recent record. The foundation is not a private operating foundation from the data provided, and it makes grants alongside support for individuals. No application process is described in the data.
