Transformation Trust Inc. concentrates its giving on unconventional scientific and consciousness research (bioenergetics, HeartMath, meditation–microbiome studies) alongside local arts and education initiatives that serve youth and community development. Grants are sizeable and often repeat commitments to mission-aligned research institutes and regional cultural/educational organizations, indicating a preference for sustained partnerships over one-off donations.
Transformation Trust Inc. gives large grants to a narrow set of research and education organizations working in consciousness studies, bioenergetics, and related educational programming. Its biggest recent award was $256,000 to Institute of Heartmath for a website upgrade and design, followed by repeated support for the same research organizations across multiple years. The pattern points to sustained funding for field-based consciousness work, HeartMath-related research, and educational tools rather than one-time project grants. The foundation also backs community-facing programs in Indianapolis, including music education, school nutrition, and general operating support for local nonprofits. In 2023 and 2025, it gave $150,000 and $100,000 to Indiana State Symphony Society Inc Dba Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra for the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra - Building Human Potential. It also funded Protection of the Educational Rights of Kids with multiple grants, including $200,000 and $100,000 for general operations for educational purposes. Together, these awards show a mix of research-driven philanthropy and local support for youth-serving institutions.
A major part of the foundation’s giving goes to consciousness and bioenergetics research. It awarded $100,000 to Institute of Heartmath for "GCPS - Measuring, Understanding, and Educating the Global Fields of Consciousness" and another $100,000 for "The Power of Collective Heart Intention as it Relates to the Global Field and Consciousness." It also supported Institute of Bioenergetics Inc with $140,000 for "Fundamental Field-Based Research and Its' Clinical Effects." The foundation also funds microbiome-linked and neuroscience-related work. Give to Give Foundation received $200,000 for "UCDS Research: Impact of Mediation of Gut Microbiome in Quantum Study" and $50,000 for "Veterans Programs." In education technology and experiential learning, Institute of Natural Law Inc received $100,000 for "Experiential Learning Platform."
Typical grant sizes cluster in the five-figure range, with p25 at $30,000, a median of $50,000, and p75 at $100,000. The recent record shows repeated support for the same organizations across multiple years, especially in research and education. Transformation Trust Inc. is classified as a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not make program-related investments. The grant list also shows a mix of general operating support, project grants, and capacity-building awards rather than a single grant type.
