About Joe Burrow Foundation
The Joe Burrow Foundation’s recent grantmaking shows a strong pattern of general operating support for nonprofits working in food insecurity and youth mental health. The largest listed grant went to La Soupe Inc in Cincinnati, which received $291,732 in 2024 and $195,024 in 2025 for general operating support. That kind of repeat support appears alongside larger awards to other organizations serving children, families, and community-based service networks in Ohio and Louisiana. The foundation’s grants also reach school and hospital settings, including a $132,000 award to Nationwide Childrens Hospital in Columbus and a $150,000 award to Three O'clock Project in Baton Rouge, both in 2025. Across the recent grants list, many awards are unrestricted or broadly programmatic rather than tied to narrowly defined projects. The foundation also funds smaller community grants, including competitive awards through Do Good Grants and World Teen Mental Wellness Day Grants, which focus on underserved communities, children with mental illness, and school-based teen wellness activities. Leadership is listed as Jimmy Burrow.
What Joe Burrow Foundation Funds
Food insecurity is one of the clearest themes in the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2023, it gave $50,000 to La Soupe Inc for work “to combat food insecurity,” and in 2024 it made a $45,000 general operating grant to Feed the Hungry Project in Middletown. Those awards sit alongside support for organizations that deliver broader basic needs assistance. Youth and school-based mental health is the other major thread. The foundation awarded $84,626 to Cincinnati Children's Hospital in 2023 for mental health medical bill assistance, and it backs school-centered wellness through World Teen Mental Wellness Day Grants. It also funded Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services with $35,000 in 2024 and supported youth-serving groups such as Prokids and Activities Beyond the Classroom with general operating grants. Nutrition education and child-focused support appear through grants to community organizations and schools in Ohio, Kentucky, and Louisiana.
