Be A Gift Foundation

About Be A Gift Foundation

Be a Gift Foundation’s largest recent grant went to St Lukes Medical Center in Boise for general operations, a signal that the foundation backs core service capacity rather than short-term projects. That pattern repeats across its portfolio: the foundation has also supported Scottsdale Unified School District, Nph in Phoenix, and Sojourner Center, all with unrestricted or operational grants. Its giving is small in scale overall, but it appears deliberate, with support aimed at organizations serving families, children, and people facing financial hardship. The foundation’s recent grants show a mix of health care, education, and human services, often in amounts that help cover everyday operating needs. Several awards go to institutions that provide direct care or essential public services, including hospitals, schools, neighborhood centers, and family-support organizations. In Phoenix and Scottsdale, the foundation has backed both medical and community-based providers, while also extending support to nonprofits in Florida, Iowa, Ohio, California, and beyond. The recurring theme is general operating support. Rather than funding a wide range of named programs, the foundation repeatedly gives unrestricted grants that help organizations maintain staff, facilities, and day-to-day services.

What Be A Gift Foundation Funds

Health care is a clear part of the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2025, it gave $29,759 to St Lukes Medical Center for general operations, and it also supported University of Iowa Hospital and Ohsu Doernbecher Children's Hospital with smaller unrestricted grants. These awards point to an interest in institutions that deliver direct medical care. Education appears as another recurring focus. Scottsdale Unified School District received $9,767 in 2023 and $5,997 in 2025, both for general operations. Indianapolis Public Schools and Zion-benton Township High School also appear in the recent grant list, showing that the foundation supports school-based services as part of its broader charitable giving. Human services and family support are also central. Grants to Safe Children Coalition, Family Promise - South Sarasota County, One Way Out Ministries, and Sojourner Center show support for organizations working on housing, family stability, and emergency assistance. The Be a Gift Foundation’s program descriptions align with those needs through rent, utilities, medical care, foster care support, and related direct aid.
