Dedicated to improving the education, health and well-being of individuals globally by providing comprehensive, needs-based solutions enabled by innovative and proven business models and technologies.
A $17,507,200 grant to John Muir Health Foundation in 2025 stands out in Behring Global Educational Foundation Formerly World Education Foundation’s recent giving, showing that the foundation makes both very large community-support gifts and smaller education grants. The foundation’s work centers on improving education, health, and well-being through needs-based solutions, with grantmaking that also reaches museums, conservation, disability services, and hunger relief. Recent grants show a mix of direct gifts and program-linked support. In education, the foundation gave $305,796 to Conservation House and $214,749 to Banovich Wildscapes Foundatio. It also funded school- and youth-facing work, including $75,000 to Fleisher Scholars Foundation and $25,700 to Community Youth Center for scholarships to youth. The foundation’s museum-related activity is distinctive as well: it supports natural history and cultural institutions through specimen donations and educational programming, alongside cash grants. The foundation also uses philanthropic gifts for community service and health-related support, including repeated gifts to the same health organization and to community groups in California and beyond. Its profile combines direct service, restricted gifts, and specialized educational programs rather than a single grant format.
Education is the most consistent theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $47,500 to African Childrens School for education, $15,000 to Yours Humanly for education, and $10,000 to Teton Litercy Center for education. Youth scholarships also appear in the record, including a $25,700 grant to Community Youth Center for scholarships to youth. Museum and natural history support is another clear lane. The foundation gave $11,500 to Young County Museum for education, and its broader museum partnership includes donations of taxidermy specimens and natural history collections to museums worldwide. Health and community welfare are present as well. In 2025, it gave $20,000 to Homeaid of Northern Californi for community support and $15,000 to Nephrotie Syndrome Fdtn for medical support. These grants fit a pattern of needs-based, direct service funding rather than one narrow program area.

That spread sits alongside much larger outliers, including seven- and eight-figure gifts. The same recipient can appear more than once in the recent record, which points to repeat support rather than isolated one-off awards. The foundation also operates programs beyond standard cash grants, including program-related investments and in-kind museum specimen donations. Some initiatives accept unsolicited requests, while others are invitation-based or tied to specific campaigns. The record shows a mix of discretionary gifts, restricted support, and challenge-match funding.
