The Alexander Foundation. There is hope for every child. Donate

Where the money goes

We fund nonprofits, hospitals, schools and grassroots programs that do real work for children and families. Most grants are made on behalf of a specific family, paid directly to the organization caring for their child.

Our goal is simple: lift up the people doing meaningful work with compassion and integrity. Sometimes that means paying a hospital bill for a family. Sometimes it means a year of therapy camp, or copies of a book for a school. Below are some of the organizations we have supported.

How a grant happens

  1. A family or organization asks. Usually by email. There is no formal application.
  2. A board member follows up. We talk with the family and, where needed, the provider.
  3. We pay the provider directly. The hospital, school, camp or program receives the funds on the family's behalf.

If you work at a hospital, school or program and have a family who could use help, contact us .

For families

You are not alone in this.

If your child has Cloverleaf Syndrome or another craniofacial condition and the bills are piling up, tell us what is happening. We help where we can, and we will point you to people who can help with the rest.

For supporters

Every dollar reaches a family.

Nobody at the foundation is paid. Apart from minimal supplies and tax filing, every gift goes to families, hospitals, schools and books that change how children treat each other.
