About Tony Robbins Foundation
A $833,739 grant to Embrace Global for portable baby incubators stands out in The Tony Robbins Foundation’s recent record, showing how far its funding can reach into direct-service work for vulnerable children. The foundation’s grantmaking also includes repeated support for Marici’s effort to end sex trafficking, with awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and sizable gifts for hunger relief, homelessness, and youth-serving programs. Across the recent grants list, the foundation backs organizations working with food-insecure families, people experiencing homelessness, incarcerated populations, underserved children, and women in underserved communities. It also funds medical and scientific work, including Alzheimer’s research, substance abuse research, cancer research, and vision care. Some awards are tied to concrete program needs such as school programs, shelter food kitchens, deaf education, and community trauma support. The mix suggests a funder that uses both large project grants and smaller targeted awards to support organizations serving people the foundation describes as often forgotten.
What Tony Robbins Foundation Funds
Hunger relief is a clear throughline. The foundation gave $300,000 to Sharing Excess Inc for feeding the hungry and $250,000 to The Farmlink Project for the same purpose, while also supporting Feeding America with $37,305 to provide food for the hungry. Homelessness is another recurring area: Fraternite of Notre Dame received $286,225 to support a homeless food kitchen and $193,385 for homeless services, and The Homeless Coalition received $35,000 for support for people experiencing homelessness. In education-related work, Academy Prep Foundation Inc received $100,000 in 2024 and $50,000 in 2023 for school programs for underserved children. The foundation also funded No Limits Theater Group twice, with $50,000 in 2025 for deaf education and $50,000 in 2024 to teach underserved deaf children.
How Tony Robbins Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster around a mid-sized project-grant range: the p25 is $25,000, the median is $50,000, and the p75 is $100,000. The recent list also shows one very large award and several six-figure grants, alongside many $50,000 and $30,000 gifts. The foundation appears to fund the same organizations across multiple years in some cases, including Marici and Academy Prep Foundation Inc, which points to recurring support rather than one-time awards only. It accepts unsolicited requests through its grant programs, and its giving is described as monetary donations, programmatic donations, and volunteer support.
