DevTo’s mission is to empower disadvantaged youth to become independent, self-sufficient, and productive community members and to enhance the physical, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional well-being of youth, individuals and families in Southern California.
The Devto Support Foundation’s recent grantmaking is marked by a mix of large general-operating awards and targeted support for youth-serving organizations in Southern California. One of its largest recent grants was $380,000 to Kidworks Community Development Corporation in Santa Ana for general operating support, alongside recurring support to St Andrews Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach for religious general operating support. The foundation also backed Project Hope Alliance in Costa Mesa for site-based case management, reflecting an interest in direct services for vulnerable young people. Across the recent grants list, the foundation funds organizations that work with disadvantaged youth, foster youth, families, students, and people in recovery. Its stated mission centers on improving the physical, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional well-being of youth and families, and the grant record shows that mission expressed through operating support, program support, and initiative-based awards. Recent awards also include support for Choc Children’s Foundation in Orange, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County and the Inland Empire, and Henry Onlhoff House in San Francisco. The pattern suggests a funder that uses flexible support for established community organizations while also making larger awards tied to specific programs, capital-like planning, and mission-aligned initiatives.
A large share of the foundation’s giving supports youth development and family services. In 2025, it gave $380,000 to Kidworks Community Development Corporation for general operating support, and in 2024 it awarded $140,000 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County and the Inland Empire for general operating support. Those grants fit the foundation’s emphasis on disadvantaged youth and families in Southern California. It also funds case management, education, and health-related support. Project Hope Alliance received $260,000 in 2024 and $200,000 in 2023 for site-based case management, while Choc Children’s Foundation received $202,500 in 2023 and $175,000 in 2024 for general operating support. The foundation has further supported college-related education through University of Colorado Foundation awards and has made grants connected to recovery services, including Henry Onlhoff House in San Francisco.
