About Peyback Foundation
Peyback Foundation Inc’s giving is built around disadvantaged youth, with grants supporting leadership, growth opportunities, after-school programs, summer camps, foster care services, literacy, scholarships, pediatric healthcare, and sports-based youth programs. One of its largest recent commitments was $525,000 to the Georgia Institute of Technology for general support, showing that the foundation uses sizable unrestricted gifts alongside its youth-serving work. The Peyton Manning Scholarship at the University of Tennessee adds a recurring education component: four first-year students in the university’s Honors Program receive tuition, room, and board based on academic achievement, leadership, and community service. The foundation also uses direct-ticket programming to give disadvantaged children access to home football games through the Ticket Incentive Program. That mix of education support, youth access, and broad general support appears throughout the recent grants list, where grants commonly go to community nonprofits and youth organizations. In practice, the foundation backs organizations working with children and teens rather than funding individuals directly, and its grantmaking is national in scope.
What Peyback Foundation Funds
Youth development sits at the center of Peyback Foundation Inc’s grantmaking. It gave $20,000 to Project Sanctuary in Granby, Colorado, for general support, and $10,000 to Save Our Youth in Denver for general support. It also supported Boys & Girls Club of Pueblo County with a $10,000 general-support grant. Education and literacy are another visible thread. The foundation awarded $10,000 to Children’s Literacy Center in Colorado Springs for general support, while the Peyton Manning Scholarship at the University of Tennessee covers tuition, room, and board for four first-year Honors Program students each year. Sports and access to community experiences appear in both program and grant form. Backfield in Motion in Nashville received $10,000 for general support, and the Ticket Incentive Program provides disadvantaged children tickets to Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts, and Tennessee Volunteers home games through community partners.
How Peyback Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is tightly clustered: p25, median, and p75 are all $10,000, indicating a standard grant level for much of the portfolio. The recent grants list also shows a small number of larger general-support gifts, including $525,000 to Georgia Institute of Technology and repeated $25,000 grants to Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund. The 2023-2025 records show repeat giving to several recipients across multiple years, including Project Sanctuary, The Independence Fund, and Navy Seal Foundation. Peyback Foundation Inc is a regular funder and does not fund individuals.
