    About Panda Cares Foundation

    Panda Cares Foundation Inc. gave one recent grant of $47,179,098 in 2024, and its next-largest grants were also in the tens of millions, showing a very large-gift pattern rather than smaller dispersed awards. The foundation’s stated purpose is to provide children in need with the building blocks of health and education to inspire brighter futures. Its public focus areas include children’s hospitals and pediatric care, school programs and scholarships, disaster relief and emergency response, youth services, and food donations for youth events. Recent recipients include See List in Las Vegas, Nevada, which appears among the foundation’s largest reported grants. Another large award also went to See List, reinforcing that the foundation’s giving centers on substantial direct support rather than many small grants. The organization funds individuals: false, and it is classified as a regular funder. In the available grant record, every recipient is in the United States, and the foundation’s grantmaking is local with a Nevada concentration.

    What Panda Cares Foundation Funds

    In children’s health, Panda Cares Foundation Inc. supported See List with a $39,470,774 grant in 2023. That scale is consistent with the foundation’s focus on children’s hospitals and pediatric care. Education is another clear thread. The foundation gave $46,668,576 in 2023 to See List, alongside a stated interest in school programs, scholarships, and college access. The topic taxonomy also identifies scholarships for students as a recurring theme. The foundation also funds emergency and basic-needs support. A 2025 grant of $33,783,526 went to See List, matching its disaster relief and emergency response focus. Food donations for youth events and child nutrition appear in the existing focus areas as well.

    How Panda Cares Foundation Gives

    The reported grant-size distribution is highly compressed at a very large level: the 25th percentile is $43,069,675, the median is $46,668,576, and the 75th percentile is $46,923,837. That points to a consistent pattern of major awards rather than a wide spread of small gifts. The available records also show repeat large-scale giving across multiple years, including 2023, 2024, and 2025. Panda Cares Foundation Inc. is a regular funder, not a donor-advised fund, and it does not fund individuals. No application process is provided in the source data.
