About Plusoneplusoneplusone
PlusOnePlusOnePlusOne’s recent giving shows a strong throughline in Black creatives and artist-centered infrastructure. In 2023, the foundation made its largest listed grant, $1,355,008 to Uncf for Black Creatives, alongside $1,150,000 to AAAA Foundation for the same cause area and $750,000 to Executive Leadership Council. That pattern places creative-sector support next to broader community and identity-based funding rather than treating arts giving as a standalone lane. The foundation also backs groups working through targeted programs and partnerships, including Calling All Crows, ADCOLOR Inc, and Gold House Foundation Inc, which appear in the recent grants list with both program support and Black Creatives support. Beyond arts and culture, PlusOnePlusOnePlusOne funds organizations addressing community needs linked to health, safety, and access. The recent record includes support for mental health, humanitarian relief, reproductive health, and LGBTQ+ rights, with grantees ranging from direct-service organizations to intermediary charitable funds. Its grantmaking is national in reach and includes recipients in major U.S. cities as well as international organizations.
