About Path
Path’s recent grantmaking centers on housing and supportive services for people experiencing homelessness in California, with several large awards tied to motel rehabs, transitional housing, and family stabilization. The biggest recent grant in the record went to Path Ventures for LAHSA-funded rehab for motels for homeless living, a project that reflects the foundation’s direct-service approach to housing. Another sizable award supported Hamburger Home for therapeutic services to families and children, showing that Path also funds family-facing care alongside housing interventions. The foundation’s portfolio includes repeated support for the same organizations over multiple years, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. Housing for Independent People received separate grants for transitional housing in 2023 and 2025, while Safe Place for Youth was funded in both years for work with young people experiencing homelessness through health, education, and case management. Path also backs veteran services, outreach, meals, and behavioral-health-linked support, with grantmaking shaped around practical service delivery rather than broad advocacy. The latest 990 year on file is 2025, and annual grants given total $10,454,617.
