The 4 Others Foundation concentrates its funding on local nonprofits that serve children, youth and vulnerable families, with an emphasis on general operating support. Grants skew toward health and therapeutic services (including dental care and equine/therapy programs) and programs that provide supportive recreational or resilience-building experiences for kids. Most awards are unrestricted general-fund grants to single-purpose organizations rather than project-specific gifts.
Concentrated portfolio of a small number of mid-sized grants ($25k–$35k) delivered as general operating support; focused geographically/locally and targeted to a handful of mission-aligned nonprofits rather than widely distributed small grants.
A single $35,000 general fund grant to SAFEchild anchors 4 Others Foundation’s recent giving and points to a clear pattern: flexible support for organizations serving children, youth, and vulnerable families. The foundation’s awards in 2025 are all general fund grants, with a spread of support to groups working in child safety, dental care, camps for children, therapeutic services, education partnerships, food or family support, and youth development. That mix suggests a funder that backs operating capacity rather than tightly scoped projects. Among the largest awards, Local Start Dental received $25,000 for community dental access, Camp Corral received $25,000 for a camp program, and Hope Reins also received $25,000 for therapeutic work. Other grants went to Lotus, Wake Ed Partnership, Green Chair, Boys Girls Club of the Albemarle, StepUp Ministries, Families Together, and John A Holmes High School. The common thread is direct support for nonprofits addressing practical needs or resilience-building experiences for children and families. Across the recent record, the foundation appears to favor straightforward general support for local service organizations.
The foundation’s giving centers on a few recurring service areas, each tied to a named general fund award. In child safety and family stability, SAFEchild received $35,000 for general support. In health access, Local Start Dental was awarded $25,000 for general fund support tied to dental care. Therapeutic and resilience-building services also show up clearly. Hope Reins received $25,000, reflecting support for equine-based or trauma-recovery programming. Camp Corral received $25,000 for a camp experience, matching the foundation’s interest in supportive recreation for children. The 2025 record also includes support for Wake Ed Partnership, Green Chair, StepUp Ministries, Families Together, and John A Holmes High School, showing attention to education, household support, and family-serving community organizations.
Recent grants are concentrated in a relatively tight band: the largest is $35,000, followed by several $25,000 awards, then $20,000, $15,000, and $5,000. Every grant listed is a general fund award, which indicates a preference for flexible operating support over restricted project funding. The 2025 list shows repeated support for local nonprofits in the same year, but the data provided does not show multi-year repeat recipients. The foundation is a private foundation, with no evidence here of a donor-advised structure or program-related investments. No application process is stated in the data.
