Four Through Nine Foundation concentrates its philanthropy into a small number of substantial, repeat awards focused on community resilience and youth opportunity. The foundation’s largest commitments go to Human Solidarity Project for broad charitable/community work, with sizable repeat grants to youth-development nonprofit Harlem RBI and to Tufts University for education — indicating a mix of humanitarian/community support, youth sports/education, and higher-education funding. Grants are purpose-driven rather than widely distributed, emphasizing program and general support to a few trusted partners.
Concentrated, high-dollar giving to a very small set of repeat grantees — three organizations received the bulk of funding via multiple installments; grants appear to be programmatic and general-support multi-grant commitments rather than one-off small awards.
Four Through Nine Foundation Inc channels its giving into a small set of large, repeat grants rather than a broad mix of one-off awards. The clearest pattern is sustained support for Human Solidarity Project, which received the foundation’s largest listed grants across 2023, 2024, and 2025 for general charitable purpose. The same multi-year pattern appears with Harlem RBI, where awards supported youth education, sports, and social programs in New York. A third recurring recipient is Tufts University, which received equal annual grants for education over three consecutive years. Those repeated commitments show a funder that returns to the same organizations over time and uses both general-purpose and program-specific support. Beyond those anchor relationships, the portfolio includes awards tied to arts, environmental work, humanitarian assistance, and youth programming. Recipient organizations range from local community groups to universities and national-service nonprofits, suggesting a philanthropic profile centered on direct community benefit, youth opportunity, and general charitable support. The foundation’s activity is national in scope, but the recurring grant list is concentrated enough to show clear funding priorities rather than scattered issue-area exploration.
In humanitarian and community work, Four Through Nine Foundation Inc gave $50,000 to The Entertainment Industry Foundation in Los Angeles for humanitarian and education purposes, alongside support for New York Cares, SAY Detroit, Every Mother Counts, FDNY Foundation, Maui Food Bank Inc, and The Edward Charles Foundation. Those grants point to a broad interest in relief, community assistance, and public-benefit charities. Youth development is another consistent theme. The foundation awarded $49,498 to Johnny Mac Tennis Project in New York for youth programs and $10,000 to RVC Seattle for youth programs, while Harlem RBI’s repeated support was directed to youth education, sports, and social programs. Education also appears through institutional and reform-oriented giving. Tufts University received annual support for education, and Education Reform Now received $13,500 for education. In arts, grants went to Array Alliance Inc, Lookingglass Theater Company, and National Arts Club.
The typical grant size sits around $8,060 at the 25th percentile, a $10,000 median, and $26,415 at the 75th percentile, with a larger cohort of repeat awards above that range. The pattern is not one-off: several recipients appear across multiple years, including Human Solidarity Project, Harlem RBI, Tufts University, Array Alliance Inc, and Johnny Mac Tennis Project. The foundation is classified as a Regular Funder and does not fund individuals. The recent grants list shows purpose-driven awards, often for general purposes, education, youth programs, or humanitarian support, rather than an application-based public grant program.
