GIFT & grant Recipients

Our charitable gifts and grants have supported nonprofit organizations, including but not limited to those highlighted below, to further advance our mission of uplifting underserved and underrepresented communities. To date, we have prioritized our giving to support maternal health care in rural Tanzania, provide meals for the houseless community and those most affected by food insecurity and climate disasters, deliver medical supplies during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and ensure access to educational programs and enrichment opportunities for students who are historically underrepresented or come from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.

FAME is an organization entirely focused on advancing quality medical care in rural Tanzania. From the beginning, we set out to provide communities in the Northern Highlands of Tanzania with a unique healthcare experience – one marked by patient-centered care and high-quality service. WCK is first to the frontlines providing fresh meals to the people in needed during crises.

RISE Scholarship

We partner with the Pasadena Educational Foundation to identify and award scholarships to exceptional graduating high school seniors within the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD). These students exemplify resilience, integrity, service, and excellence (RISE) in their pursuit of personal growth and their higher education goals.

Since our founding in 2021, we have proudly recognized 32 students from every PUSD high school as RISE Scholars.
