To grow and support each charitable journey by providing simple customized vehicles that fulfill your philanthropic endeavors.
United Charitable’s recent grantmaking shows a strong mix of donor-advised transfers, faith-based support, scholarships, and project funding, with several large gifts moving through to other 501(c)(3) organizations. The biggest recent grant on file was $7,633,825 to Legacy Church Inc. in Albuquerque, New Mexico, recorded as a transfer LLC gift to another 501(c)(3). Another major transfer went to Mitchell Thorp Foundation in Carlsbad, California, at $3,479,862 in 2025, also listed as a transfer to another 501(c)(3). Beyond those large passes-through, the foundation supported named scholarship funds and institutional projects, including the Robert A. Platt Scholarship Fund for a Lawrence High School senior in the sciences and the Harrell Jackson Jr. Athletic Excellence Scholarship for Millard West High School student-athletes. The grant list also includes religious ministries, medical and research support, youth-serving organizations, and capital or facility needs. That pattern fits a pure DAF provider that routes assets to a wide range of public charities rather than funding individuals directly.
Education appears in several forms. United Charitable gave $564,400 to The School District of Indian River Coun for the Gifford Middle School Tigers rebranding campaign, and $225,000 to Master’s Academy of Vero Beach for a vo-tech building. Scholarship support is also visible in the $100,000 endowed scholarship to the University of Miami. Faith-based giving is another clear thread: the foundation awarded $250,000 to Forcey Bible Church for a mortgage paydown match, $112,000 to Chabad of Downtown Austin for an annual campaign, and $100,000 to Mercy Church for a Christmas missions offering. Health and research also show up through a $250,000 grant to Northwell Health Foundation for the Teenok Heart Foundation pediatric cardiology imaging fellowship endowment and a $91,050 grant to St Jude Childrens Research Hospital for the family area. Environment and public-interest work are present as well, including support for organizations aligned with community well-being and civil rights.
United Charitable’s typical grant size centers around $8,000 at the 25th percentile, a $10,750 median, and $20,052 at the 75th percentile, while the recent list also includes several seven-figure transfers. The same recipient can appear more than once across years, such as Mitchell Thorp Foundation, National Legal Foundation, Northwell Health Foundation, Regents of the University of Michigan, and Vienna Presbyterian Church. As a pure DAF provider, the organization primarily makes donor-advised fund transfers rather than direct program-related investments. The record also shows a mix of general support, matching grants, endowment gifts, and project-specific awards. Some active programs accept unsolicited applications through online forms, while others are fiscally sponsored or administered through the foundation.

Recent examples include a church in Albuquerque, a health foundation in New Hyde Park, a university in Miami, and school-related grants in Vero Beach and Carmel. The active programs also include scholarships, animal welfare, disaster relief, and faith-based initiatives.

The foundation’s stated focus areas include Arts & Culture, Emergency Assistance, Education, Animal Welfare, Environment, Legal/Civil Rights, Women’s Issues, Health/Disabilities, Family Services, Children/Youth, Religious/Ministry, and Veterans/Military Affairs. Recent grants also align with scholarships, faith-based programming, pediatric cardiology, disaster relief, and school projects.
Some active programs accept unsolicited applications, including the Robert A.
