The EACH Foundation

  • "E.A.C.H.": Education, Environment, Art, Animals, Children, Community, Health and Homelessness. 

  • Democratizing philanthropy through an inclusive group of 50 volunteer grant-makers.

  • Empowering everyday people with the gift-of-giving, sharing the power to create social impact. 

  • 501(c)3 grant-making foundation spending down through December, 2020.

  • Volunteer grant-making from a one-time exclusive family foundation founded in San Francisco in 1955. 

  • Promoting the greater good through egalitarian grants twice the IRS 5% minimum mandate.

  • Reminding family foundation managers that the assets under their stewardship are owned by the community, not by the family who took tax deductions to establish their foundation in the first place. 

  • 834 unique public charities impacted through over 2,000 micro-grants distributed by everyday people. 

  • Originally part of the Wallace A. Gerbode Foundation, founded in SF in 1955, responsible for helping save Angel Island and Diamond Head national park in Hawaii; over $200 million given since inception.

  • Re-defined in 2009 as a community foundation to share the gift-of-giving with those who legally own the assets, the diverse members of society as a whole.  

  • Origins dating back to Hawaiian missionary heritage (cf., Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.).

  • Over $9 million distributed to 834 nonprofits by 50 everyday people since its founding in May 2016. 

  • Quarterly meetings spotlighting six grantees (TEDx-style), open to the public to listen, learn and be inspired.  

 

The EACH Foundation board of directors is grateful to our many donors who have made this opportunity possible, especially our main benefactor the Wallace A. Gerbode Foundation (named after the founders' son who tragically died in 1954 while at Stanford University).
