About Covenant House
Covenant House directs large grants to a network of youth-serving affiliates that work with young people facing homelessness, trafficking, foster care disruption, and related crisis needs. Across the recent grants list, support most often goes to Covenant House affiliates in major U.S. cities, with repeated funding for program support and National Sleepout events. The largest grant on file is $11,246,817 to Under 21 Covenant House New York for program support and a National Sleepout event, followed by another seven-figure award of $10,071,947 to the same affiliate for program support in 2024. New York appears repeatedly in the funding record, but the giving also reaches affiliates in New Jersey, California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, New Orleans, Illinois, Georgia, Alaska, and the District of Columbia. The pattern points to a foundation funding direct service organizations that share the Covenant House name and mission, rather than a broad portfolio of unrelated nonprofits. Their stated work centers on love, shelter, and hope for young people facing homelessness, delivered through crisis care, long-term support, and services that help youth rebuild their lives.
What Covenant House Funds
Youth homelessness is the clearest theme in the grant record. Covenant House gave $3,351,455 to Covenant House California for program support and a National Sleepout event in 2023, and $2,451,065 to Covenant House Florida for the same purpose in 2025. The foundation also supports transitional help through its affiliate network, including $2,166,149 to Covenant House Texas in 2023 and $2,008,856 in 2024. Georgia appears in the record as well, with $1,461,879 to Covenant House Georgia in 2024 and $1,257,107 in 2025. The grant descriptions show a mix of program support and event-linked support, suggesting that direct services and fundraising or outreach events are both part of the funding model.
How Covenant House Gives
Typical awards sit in the seven-figure range, with a p25 of $1,076,331, a median of $1,716,657, and a p75 of $2,284,009. The recent record shows repeat support to the same affiliates across multiple years, especially Covenant House New York, New Jersey, California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, New Orleans, Illinois, and Georgia. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Grants are consistently directed as program support, often paired with National Sleepout event language.
