About Kandl Foundation
Kandl Foundation’s recent awards center on direct help for people facing housing, transportation, education, and basic-needs gaps, with quarterly grants made to individuals and nonprofit organizations. Among the larger awards in the file are $3,000 to Mikia Gardner for housing and $3,000 to Chrystal Hundley for education, showing that the foundation uses relatively small, need-based grants to meet immediate household or learning needs. The grant list also includes support for transportation, such as $2,519 to Sadie Morris and $2,500 to Micheal Epps, alongside housing awards to recipients in Baltimore and nearby Maryland communities. The foundation’s stated programs allow monetary grants for affordable housing, educational support, reliable transportation, and practical living expenses, and they also extend to individuals. That mix of individual assistance and nonprofit support points to a funder focused on short-term relief rather than large institutional commitments. Across the record, awards are tied to concrete needs such as rent, repairs, utilities, vehicle costs, and training, which gives a clear picture of how Kandl Foundation translates its Christ-centered mission into grantmaking.
What Kandl Foundation Funds
Housing support is a core theme. Kandl Foundation gave $2,900 to Amber Medley for housing, $2,500 to Tiffany Gentry for housing, and $2,000 to Sherrell Hinton for housing, reflecting repeated support for rent-related and stability needs. Transportation is another clear area: a $2,519 grant to Sadie Morris and a $2,000 grant to Fifina Lawrence were both designated for transportation, while other awards in that category went to individuals facing mobility costs. Education also appears in both individual and organizational support. The foundation awarded $3,000 to Chrystal Hundley for education and $2,500 to Fellowship of Christian Athletes for education, showing that schooling and training are part of the program mix. Living expenses appear in awards such as $2,840 to Nathan Lee and $2,463 to Miraya Jackson, with purposes tied to day-to-day household needs.
How Kandl Foundation Gives
Kandl Foundation’s typical awards are small: p25 is $1,000, the median is $1,500, and p75 is $2,000. The recent record shows a pattern of repeated, need-based grants rather than a handful of large outliers, with many awards clustering around $2,000 to $3,000. Grants are reviewed quarterly under the general program, and the foundation accepts unsolicited applications for multiple program areas. The structure is direct assistance-oriented: it funds individuals as well as nonprofit organizations, and it also says it makes grants based on need and available funds. The file does not show multi-year repeat grantees by name, but the 2023, 2024, and 2025 awards indicate ongoing activity across several years.
