    About Simple Generosity Foundation

    Simple Generosity Foundation’s recent grantmaking is dominated by operating support to nonprofit organizations working across service, education, health, and environmental causes. The largest listed grant goes to Meals on Wheels America for $270,460, followed by United Service Organizations Inc. at $172,279 and Team Rubicon at $151,125, showing a pattern of sizable general support rather than project-only awards. The foundation also backs organizations serving specific communities and public-interest missions, including Comfort Cases, Farmhouse Fresh Animal Sanctuary, National Womens History Museum, YouthBuild Global, and America on Tech. Its grant list includes groups tied to disaster response, food access, veteran support, youth opportunity, climate, and animal welfare. Several awards are made to national intermediaries and service organizations, while others support local or issue-specific nonprofits such as New Eyes for the Needy Inc., Family Promise, USA Cares Inc., and Girls Who Code Inc. The recurring use of operating support suggests an emphasis on institutional stability and flexible funding for organizations already positioned to deliver programs. The foundation’s public profile also points to a broader client-driven giving model: it manages donation distributions and nonprofit matching for corporate and platform partners, which helps explain the variety of recipient types in its grant record.

The recent record also includes a much larger upper tier of operating grants, which suggests a dual pattern of many smaller awards alongside fewer high-dollar commitments.

The grant record provided here shows operating support as the dominant stated purpose.

    Where Simple Generosity Foundation Makes Grants

    The recipient footprint is entirely U.S.-based in the data provided: 294 grants, or 100%, went to U.S. organizations. By grant count, Indiana is the top state for giving. Recent grants are spread across major nonprofit hubs including Arlington, VA; New York, NY; Los Angeles, CA; Washington, DC; and Boston, MA, with multiple awards also landing in New Jersey, Maryland, and Illinois.
