About Tisbest Philanthropy
Tisbest Philanthropy channels philanthropy through donor-directed giving, using TisBest Charity Gift Cards to replace physical gifts with support for causes chosen by the giver. That structure shows up in the grant record: the foundation sends large grants to a mix of national intermediaries, public-health organizations, community foundations, and cause-specific nonprofits. Among the largest recent awards are $1,250,000 and $950,000 grants to National Philanthropic Tr in Jenkintown, PA, indicating substantial support routed through a philanthropic platform. The rest of the recent list shows the same flexibility in recipient type, with grants ranging from hunger relief and pediatric research to wildlife conservation, community development, and arts giving. Recent named recipients include Feeding America in Chicago, IL, St Jude Children's Research Hospital-alsac in Memphis, TN, and Robin Hood Foundation in New York, NY. The foundation’s grantmaking is national in scope, and the recipient list is entirely U.S.-based. In the data provided, Tisbest Philanthropy is a pure DAF provider, which fits the pattern of distributing gifts through a donor-advised structure rather than through individuals or program-related investments.

Tisbest Philanthropy’s recent grants point to several recurring cause areas. In hunger relief, it gave $223,467 to Feeding America in Chicago, IL in 2025.

The foundation also backs community-focused organizations such as Robin Hood Foundation in New York, NY with a $116,675 grant in 2024 and Micro-society Inc in Philadelphia, PA with a $100,000 grant in 2024.
How Tisbest Philanthropy Gives
Typical grants cluster in the five-figure range: the p25 is $8,012, the median is $10,985, and the p75 is $25,000. The recent-grants list also shows a long tail of six- and seven-figure awards, especially to intermediaries and larger institutions. Recipients appear across multiple years, including National Philanthropic Tr, African Wildlife Foundation, St Jude Children's Research Hospital-alsac, and Healthcorps Inc, which suggests repeated support rather than one-off gifts. Tisbest Philanthropy is classified as a pure DAF provider, and the data does not show an individual-application process because the grantmaking is structured through donor-advised giving.
