    About Ball Foundation

    The Ball Foundation makes a small number of large, unrestricted grants to intermediary organizations rather than many direct-service charities. Recent grants show a mix of global and local place-based giving — sizable general-purpose gifts to GlobalGiving and the Community Foundation of Boulder County — along with multi-year support for digital education through EverFi. The foundation appears oriented toward funding platforms and capacity-building that can amplify impact rather than project-level grants.

    About Ball Foundation

    Ball Foundation’s recent giving is marked by large, unrestricted grants to intermediaries that can channel support across multiple needs at once. A $1,359,500 grant to GlobalGiving Foundation in 2023 and a $1,000,000 grant to Community Foundation-Boulder County that same year show how the foundation often works through organizations positioned to redistribute funding broadly. That pattern continues in later years: GlobalGiving received another $400,000 in 2025, while EverFi Inc. also received $400,000 in 2025 for general purpose support. The foundation’s grant record points to a mix of global disaster response, local community support, and education-focused platform funding rather than a narrow portfolio of direct-service awards. Ball Foundation also appears to favor partners that can scale programs through networks or shared infrastructure. Recent gifts include CANd AID Foundation in Longmont, JASON Learning in Ashburn, and First Robotics National in Manchester, alongside Colorado-based recipients such as University of Colorado Foundation and River Network. Several grants are repeated over multiple years, suggesting continuity with selected intermediaries and education partners. Across the record, the emphasis is on flexible funding for organizations that can extend reach beyond a single project or site.

    What Ball Foundation Funds

    In disaster response, Ball Foundation uses intermediary channels and emergency-relief partners. The largest recent example is the $1,359,500 general-purpose grant to GlobalGiving Foundation, paired with a $200,000 grant to American Red Cross in 2023 and another $50,000 grant to the same organization in 2025. That mix points to a grantmaking style that supports both large-scale coordination and established relief capacity. Education is another major line of support. The foundation gave $400,000 to EverFi Inc. in 2025 for general purpose support, and another $200,000 to JASON Learning in 2025. It also supported First Robotics National with $135,000 in 2025, reflecting attention to STEM learning and career pathways. Environment and recycling appear in the portfolio as well. Ball Foundation awarded $85,000 to River Network and $30,000 to Eco-Cycle, both in 2023, alongside grants to local education and community organizations tied to sustainability and waste diversion.

    How Ball Foundation Gives

    Ball Foundation’s typical grant size is sizable: the p25 is $30,000, the median is $63,750, and the p75 is $183,750. The recent record shows a small number of large grants rather than many small awards, including repeated support to several organizations across 2023 and 2025. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships with select intermediaries and program partners. The foundation funds nonprofits, not individuals, and does not make program-related investments. The available grant list also shows a strong use of general-purpose support, indicating flexibility in how recipients use funds.
