About Andrews Foundation
The Andrews Foundation’s grantmaking is built around Northeast Ohio nonprofits and recurring general support, with several grants reaching the $20,000 to $25,000 range. In the recent grants list, University Settlement and Hunger Network each received $25,000 in 2023, while May Dugan Center received $20,000 in 2025. That mix points to a funder that backs core operations and public-facing services rather than narrow project-only awards.
The foundation’s current program language emphasizes advancing and enriching quality of life for people living in Northeast Ohio. Its active grant programs cover flexible support for organizations across arts and culture, community services, eldercare, healthcare, social services, and youth services, and the portfolio also includes sustainability and education. Recent awards show support for organizations serving children, families, housing stability, safety, recovery, and community life. Grants have gone to Cleveland-based organizations as well as groups in nearby cities such as Chagrin Falls, Beachwood, Bay Village, Highland Hills, Northfield, South Euclid, and Columbus.
Across the recent list, general support is the most common grant purpose, with public support appearing as well.

How Andrews Foundation Gives
The Andrews Foundation’s typical grant size is tightly centered: the 25th percentile is $5,000, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is also $10,000. That suggests a strong clustering around smaller operating or program awards, with occasional larger grants above that range. The active grant programs indicate support for project and operating needs, and some awards may be multi-year. The foundation also accepts unsolicited applications through its general grant programs. Recent grants show repeat funding to some organizations across multiple years, including Fieldstone Farm, Journey Center for Safety & Healing, and Ppgoh.
