AJA Foundation Grants
AJA Foundation
About Us
AJA Foundation seeks to help those who have done everything society asks of them, yet for whom access to essential resources and the probability for advancement that comes from them remain elusive at best and structurally impossible at worst.
We know that the “playing field” of opportunity tilts substantially and unfairly towards those coming from advantage and that nobody succeeds on their own. AJA Foundation is dedicated to leveling the playing field by investing globally in organizations addressing what we see as fundamental human rights with a focus on equal access to clean water, quality education and essential healthcare.
What We Fund
Water
Billions of people lack access to clean water. This affects health and hinders education, employment, economic growth, and gender equality.
Having access to clean water not only saves lives and leads to better health outcomes, it creates a domino effect of positive change throughout entire communities by improving access to education, food, employment, gender equality, and mitigates the effects of climate change.
Over the last 15 years, AJA Foundation has invested approximately $3 million to support five clean water initiatives. Some have been multi-year commitments.
Education
Access to primary education is inequitable. Children who are economically disadvantaged lack access to curriculum and support necessary to thrive academically.
Education is the critical tool for upward economic mobility. Students who are structurally denied necessary coursework and critical support like tutoring, mentoring, and scholarships cannot reach their full potential.
The AJA Foundation has invested over $4 million to date in programs that empower deserving students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Investing in the potential of these students not only improves their financial future, it unlocks broader economic opportunities for entire communities and fosters future leadership.
Health
Half of the world’s population lacks access to essential health services. This not only puts the individual's health at risk, but also the stability of communities, societies, and economies.
Billions of people do not live close enough to medical centers or providers to access basic healthcare or are too poor to afford it. As a result, far too many medical conditions that are routinely treated in the developed world go untreated in the developing world. The same is true for prevention.
Because where you are born should not determine access to healthcare, the AJA Foundation has invested over $1.8 million in organizations delivering quality healthcare in developing countries. In addition to prevention, health services include maternal, newborn, and pediatric medicine and treatment of common diseases.
Adkins Family Foundation Grants
Adkins Family Foundation
The Vision and Mission of the Adkins Family Foundation is to provide badly needed resources to change the circumstances and thus the lives of people of color and those in need, trapped in inner cities and under-served communities. Coming from a faith-based perspective, the goal is to promote and build self-esteem and facilitate the realization of individual dreams that will help transform the lives’ of at-risk children. Thus, reducing the inequities they face on a daily basis living in marginalized areas.
The Adkins Family Foundation accepts proposals for projects supporting children programs, the arts and general operating support.
A. O. Smith Foundation Grants
A O Smith Foundation Inc
Background
EIn 1955, Ted re-established what was then known as the Glenellen Foundation, renaming it the A. O. Smith Foundation. The Foundation's mission was to support qualifying charitable, educational, human services, scientific, literary, cultural, arts, and civic organizations located primarily in communities where A. O. Smith Corporation has facilities.
Throughout his life, Ted engaged in numerous civic and community activities in Milwaukee. He and his wife Lucy established a convalescent home for children suffering from tuberculosis. Ted also gave a lot of his time to the Medical College of Wisconsin, heading “Project Merit” to raise $17 million to construct a medical education and research complex.
Our Mission
The A. O. Smith Foundation is committed to making our communities a better place to live and work. We achieve this by partnering with and supporting education, arts and culture, health, and human services in the communities in which we operate. At the same time, the Foundation encourages A. O. Smith employees around the world to live the Company’s values through volunteerism and community involvement.
Big G Charitable Foundation Grant
Big G Charitable Foundation
What is the Big G Charitable Foundation?
We strive to protect the helpless and defend the defenseless by supporting the sustainable needs of our planet and those suffering the hardships of illness and societal challenges.
About
Mike Galesi, founder of the Big G Foundation, discovered his passion for giving as a young boy from his father, John (Big G), when they would work together to support less fortunate families in their area. Their shared fulfilling experiences of helping others lead Mike to a lifelong passion to give and assist. Mike’s true passions are ocean and land conservation and providing for those in times of crisis.
Since its founding in 2009, Big G Charitable Foundation has helped support foundations in fighting the good fight and protecting the defenseless. While Big G strives to support all worthy causes our main focuses are conservation, sustainability and emergency relief.

For a deeper dive into this process, check out our guide on How to Evaluate a Funder Before You Apply for Their Grant.
What should I look for when researching a funder?
When evaluating a potential funder, look for patterns in their giving, such as who they’ve funded in the past, typical award sizes, geographic preferences, and areas of focus. These trends will reveal to you if a funder is likely to support your work.
Normally, you’d need to dig through a funder’s previous 990 filings to get this information. But Instrumentl makes it easy to find 990 insights by visualizing data in their foundation profile. You can quickly analyze historical giving, board members, and average award amounts.
