About Movement Foundation
The Movement Foundation Inc’s largest recent grant was a $35,964,898 award to Impact Investing Charitable Trust for grant making. That single commitment signals a funder comfortable using very large checks alongside a broader mix of education, health, housing, and community support. The foundation says it exists to love and value people by leading change in its industry, corporate culture, and communities, and its grant activity reflects that posture through support for self-sustaining schools, health clinics, housing projects, and community programs. Recent awards also show a strong link to Movement-affiliated institutions, including Movement Charter School and Movement Schools South Carolina Inc., both funded in the recent grant list for education- and enrichment-related work. Other grants reach human services, after-school mentoring, and medical support organizations. The foundation also makes program-related investments, which adds another layer to how it deploys capital. Across the grant list, the pattern is not limited to one cause area or one size of recipient; it includes both multi-million-dollar vehicles and smaller operating or program grants, all within a U.S.-only footprint.
What Movement Foundation Funds
Education is a clear thread. The foundation gave $1,453,442 to Movement Charter School for education, then followed with another $442,980 to the same school for children and family advocate/enrichment work. Community-based services also appear in multiple grants: Discovery Place received $215,000 for children and family advocate/enrichment, while Vision Possible was awarded $150,000 for human services. Health-related giving is present as well, including $43,414 to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for medical/health support. Employee-linked philanthropy shows up through Yourcause LLC, which received $886,093 for general operations, indicating support for the infrastructure behind charitable matching and related giving systems.
How Movement Foundation Gives
Typical grant size sits at $7,850 at the 25th percentile, $13,110 at the median, and $29,192 at the 75th percentile, showing a mid-sized day-to-day grant pattern alongside occasional large awards. The foundation’s structure includes program-related investments, and its recent list also includes a very large grant to an impact-investing vehicle. Recipients repeat across years, including Movement Charter School, Charityvest, Sports Outreach Institute, Helping Hands Ministries, and Yourcause LLC, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. Its active match-giving programs are targeted to Movement Mortgage team members, and outside requests are not considered.
