The Safelite Autoglass Foundation Amended concentrates its giving on children and youth-focused programs, both internationally and in Ohio, favoring a small number of large grants. Major recipients include Afrika Tikkun (youth development in South Africa), foster-care support groups, and its hometown university, indicating a blend of international development, child welfare, and higher-education philanthropy. Grants appear to be general program/core support rather than narrowly designated project awards.
Highly concentrated giving: few, large grants with multiple repeat awards to the same organizations. Mix of international (development/youth) and local institutional giving, primarily unrestricted or program-support style contributions rather than many small, one-off grants.
A defining feature of Safelite Autoglass Foundation Amended’s recent giving is a pattern of very large program-support grants to child and family-focused organizations. The biggest award in the provided data is $1,695,000 to Afrika Tikkun USA in Columbus for charity support, followed by $1,028,140 to Together We Rise Corporation (foster Love) in Brea for charity support. Those grants sit alongside repeated support for South African youth development through Afrika Tikkun and for youth-serving organizations in Ohio. The foundation’s portfolio also includes higher-education support at The Ohio State University Foundation and child-well-being grants to Make-A-Wish and Ronald Mcdonald House Charities of Central Ohio. Across the recent grants list, the common thread is charitable support for organizations serving children, youth, and families, often through general program or organizational funding rather than tightly designated project awards. The mix of international youth-development giving and a strong Ohio presence gives the foundation a profile that is broader than a single local cause, while still centered on family support and community well-being.
Children and youth are the clearest throughline in the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2025, it gave $1,028,140 to Together We Rise Corporation (foster Love) in Brea for charity support, pointing to foster-care and transitional-support work. The foundation also backed Make-A-Wish with $250,100 in 2023, a grant tied to children’s critical-illness and wish-granting services. Education appears in the portfolio as well: The Ohio State University Foundation received $250,000 in 2023 and another $250,000 in 2024 for charity support. Internationally, the foundation continued supporting Afrika Tikkun, including a $550,000 grant in 2025 to Afrika Tikkun US in Mount Vernon, reflecting ongoing interest in South African youth development and education.
Typical grant size is modest relative to the largest awards, with a p25 of $3,000, a median of $4,500, and a p75 of $7,500. The recent list also shows a small number of outsized grants, which suggests a tiered pattern rather than a single uniform grant size. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Afrika Tikkun, The Ohio State University Foundation, Ronald Mcdonald House Charities of Central Ohio, and Lifecare Alliance, indicating repeat support. The foundation is not an individual-giving vehicle and does not make program-related investments. Its active programs are corporate- and employee-linked, including giving campaigns and event proceeds, and unsolicited applications are not accepted.

Grantmaking is national, and every recipient in the provided distribution is in the US. Columbus is the most visible recipient city in the recent grants list, with repeated awards to organizations there and 28% of grants going to recipients in Ohio, the foundation’s HQ state. Other Ohio locations include Grove City and Mount Vernon. Outside Ohio, Brea appears as a recipient city through Together We Rise Corporation. The top state by grant count is Florida, showing that the foundation gives most often there even though many of the largest awards in the recent list go to Ohio-based recipients.
The foundation supports charitable nonprofit organizations serving children, youth, families, and community well-being. Recent grants include foster-care and transitional support, youth development, higher education, children’s critical-illness services, and family-support organizations, with both Ohio-based and international youth-development giving in the record.
Typical grant size is relatively small compared with the largest awards: p25 is $3,000, median is $4,500, and p75 is $7,500. The recent grants list also includes several much larger awards, so the distribution is not uniform.
No. The active program descriptions say the foundation’s giving is carried out through employee giving campaigns, company contributions, and event proceeds, and they mark unsolicited applications as not accepted.
Ohio is a major recipient state, with 28% of grants going to recipients in the HQ state. But the foundation gives nationally, and the top state by grant count is Florida, so the portfolio is not limited to Ohio.
Yes. Afrika Tikkun, The Ohio State University Foundation, Ronald Mcdonald House Charities of Central Ohio, and Lifecare Alliance each appear in more than one year in the recent grants list, showing recurring support rather than one-time giving only.
