Pledgeling Foundation

About Pledgeling Foundation

Pledgeling Foundation functions as a donor-advised fund intermediary that processes and regrants donations to qualified nonprofits, including rapid disbursements for disaster response. Its recent giving shows a broad mix of general charitable support and donor-directed regranting, with individual grants reaching into the high six figures and low seven figures. Among the largest recent awards are $1,600,610 to Rhode Futures Foundation in Los Angeles and $790,935 to Entertainment Industry Foundation in Los Angeles, alongside $775,651 to St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis and $748,109 to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in Rye Brook. That pattern suggests a funder built to move sizable gifts through a wide range of recipient organizations rather than to concentrate on a narrow set of institutions. The foundation’s grant list also points to support for health, humanitarian, and community causes. American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities appears multiple times in the recent grants, and named recipients such as City of Hope - Parent, Charities Aid Foundation America, and Clooney Foundation for Justice show that the pool of grantees includes both service organizations and intermediary nonprofits. Pledgeling Foundation is tied to donor-directed philanthropy, so the mix of recipients reflects regranted gifts flowing through a single platform rather than a traditional program office.
