Power For Good Foundation appears to invest in civic engagement and volunteer mobilization, funding programs that convene and strengthen volunteer infrastructure. Their lone recorded grant funded a Chicago-based service organization’s summit, suggesting interest in capacity-building events and community service networks beyond their immediate geographic area.
Power for Good Foundation’s largest recorded grant went to Chicago Cares Inc., with $200,000 for the Power of Giving Foundation CD&I Summit, which sets the tone for a funder that supports civic engagement through convenings and volunteer infrastructure. The foundation also backed Friends of Rittenhouse Square with $75,000 for the 2023 Ball on the Square, showing interest in community events that organize public participation and local support networks. A third large grant, $62,500 to Blessed Sarnelli Community Inc., covered building repairs and upkeep needs, including landscaping, smoke detectors, painting, mold remediation, and basement de-humidification. Those awards point to a mix of event sponsorship, capacity support, and practical help for organizations serving their communities. Across its recent grants, the foundation funds nonprofits working on volunteer coordination, community service programming, housing stability, food access, youth activities, veterans’ services, and basic needs distribution. The pattern is broad in subject matter but consistent in form: direct support for organizations that deliver services, host events, or strengthen the infrastructure behind local volunteer and community work.
Volunteer mobilization is a clear throughline. The foundation gave $200,000 to Chicago Cares Inc. for the Power of Giving Foundation CD&I Summit, linking its grantmaking to convenings that support service networks. It also supported The Big Picture Alliance Inc. with $19,158 to supply a class with film equipment for a sponsored video-editing workshop, a program-oriented award rather than unrestricted funding. In basic-needs work, it awarded $40,000 to Thrive DC for backpacks full of essential items and a remaining project balance, and $12,000 to Nationalities Service Center of Philadelphia for a winter clothing drive for immigrant and refugee clients. Housing and shelter also appear in the grant list: Supportive Housing Communities Inc. received $17,052 to provide permanent, affordable housing to people experiencing homelessness, while Rebecca’s Tent Inc. received $10,000 to help tenants with security deposits and welcome kits.
Typical grants cluster tightly around $10,000, with a p25 of $10,000, median of $10,000, and p75 of $10,342. The recent record shows both large anchor awards and many smaller awards at the same round figure, suggesting a mix of signature support and standardized grants. The foundation’s 2024 grants include recurring emphasis on service organizations, events, and direct assistance. Several awards are project-specific or event-based, while others support program delivery or operational needs such as equipment, repairs, and supplies. Power for Good Foundation also funds individuals, but the grant list provided here shows organizational awards.

Concentrated, one-off large grant-making: a single $200,000 award to a national/regional volunteer organization to support an event or convening rather than many small operational grants or multi-year commitments.
Notable grantees: Chicago Cares Inc
Grant recipients are concentrated in the United States, with all listed recent grants going to U.S. organizations. Philadelphia appears frequently, including awards to Friends of Rittenhouse Square, Blessed Sarnelli Community Inc., The Big Picture Alliance Inc., Everybody Eats Philly Inc., The Lighthouse, Nationalities Service Center of Philadelphia, and Youth Empowerment for Advancement Hangout. Other repeated places include Atlanta, which appears in grants to Rebecca’s Tent Inc. and Atlanta Beltline Partnership Inc., and Chicago, which appears through Chicago Cares Inc. and local service work tied to the summit grant. The foundation gives most often in Arizona by count, even though its headquarters are in Chester, Pennsylvania.
Its recent grants support volunteer mobilization, civic engagement events, community service infrastructure, housing stability, food access, youth programming, veterans’ services, and basic-needs distribution such as clothing, backpacks, blankets, and hygiene items. Several awards also cover repairs, equipment, and event sponsorship.
The recent grant size distribution is very tight: p25 is $10,000, median is $10,000, and p75 is $10,342. Many listed grants are round $10,000 awards, alongside a few much larger project grants.
Both appear in the record. Some awards fund specific events such as a summit, a ball, a winter festival, and annual walks, while others support ongoing services like housing, meal programs, clothing drives, and youth or veterans programming.
Arizona is the top state by grant count, while Pennsylvania accounts for 23% of grants. The recipient list also shows heavy activity in Philadelphia and other U.S. cities such as Atlanta, Chicago, and Washington, DC.
Recent grants include Chicago Cares Inc. for a civic-engagement summit, Thrive DC for essential-item backpacks, Supportive Housing Communities Inc. for permanent affordable housing, and Latino Coalition for Community Leadership for reentry workforce work.
