Tournaments for Charity c/o John Jankovic directs sizable, mission-driven giving toward hunger relief, children and family services, and community youth development, with a pronounced Midwest footprint (Ohio, Michigan, St. Louis). The foundation combines a few very large grants to national or national-facing foundations with a broad set of smaller, repeat and one-off gifts to local schools, youth organizations, health systems and golf/sports-related charities tied to fundraising events.
Tournaments for Charity C/o John Jankovic makes unusually large general-support grants alongside a wide set of smaller awards, with the single biggest recent gift reaching $2,043,311 to Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation. That scale appears across multiple years and recipients: Safelite Autoglass Foundation received $1,996,756 in 2024 and $1,842,168 in 2023, while The Columbus Foundation received $1,665,232 in 2023, $971,344 in 2024, and $958,597 in 2025. The pattern suggests a funder that backs both major charitable intermediaries and local organizations through unrestricted support rather than tightly specified project grants. The foundation’s giving also points to recurring relationships with organizations in hunger relief, adoption support, and community services. Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption received three general-support grants from 2023 through 2025, and The Columbus Foundation appears in three consecutive years as well. Smaller gifts extend to children’s services, school-linked organizations, and community charities in Michigan and St. Louis, showing a portfolio that mixes repeat commitments with one-off awards. Leadership is listed as Daniel Sullivan, and the foundation operates from Dublin, Ohio.
Food insecurity is one of the clearest themes in the grant list. Tournaments for Charity C/o John Jankovic gave $2,043,311 to Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation in 2025 and had supported the same grantee with $1,940,238 in 2024 and $1,812,599 in 2023, all for general support. Adoption and child welfare also receive repeated backing. Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption was awarded $845,848 in 2025, following $840,033 in 2024 and $545,962 in 2023. The foundation also supported Whaley Children's Center in Flint with $462,708 in 2023. Community youth and sports-linked charities appear in the giving record as well. Pink Par-tee of Warwick Hills received $199,880 in 2023 and $108,000 in 2024, while Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater St Louis received $225,000 in 2023 and $200,000 in both 2024 and 2025. Urban League of Metropolitan St Louis received similar repeat support across 2023 to 2025.
Typical grants are mid-sized to large, with a p25 of $10,000, a median of $19,525, and a p75 of $97,400. The recent record shows both very large general-support awards and a broader base of smaller gifts. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation, The Columbus Foundation, Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, Ally Charitable Foundation, and Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater St Louis. The pattern is consistent with unrestricted support and recurring commitments rather than one-off project-only funding. The foundation is organized as a charity vehicle under John Jankovic, with Daniel Sullivan listed in leadership.
