Percent Impact Foundation

About Percent Impact Foundation

Percent Impact Foundation’s 2025 grantmaking is broad in cause but tightly centered on direct service, health, and emergency response. The largest recent grant went to the American Heart Association for public health, and that was followed by funding for American Cancer Society, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and American National Red Cross. That mix shows a funder that moves between medical causes, crisis aid, and community support rather than concentrating on a single niche. Their recent awards also include support for The Trevor Project on suicide prevention for LGBTQ people, Save the Children Federation on improving children’s lives worldwide, Year Up for workforce development for young adults, and Best Friends Animal Society for animal welfare. Other grants reach into humanitarian food aid, pediatric treatment, reproductive healthcare, and direct cash transfers. The foundation’s portfolio also includes Bay Area volunteer infrastructure and international relief for children and families, while every recorded recent grant went to a US recipient. As a public charity and regular funder, Percent Impact Foundation uses charitable grants as the main vehicle for advancing its philanthropy-enablement mission.
