The EACH Foundation, also known as Education, Environment, Art, Animals, Children, Community, Health, and Homelessness, is a radically inclusive community foundation based in San Francisco, CA. Committed to the gift of giving, this 501(c)3 foundation grants all of its assets by the end of 2020, with the assistance of a dedicated group of 45 volunteer grant-makers. Recognizing that the money belongs to the community, not the family that established the foundation, the EACH Foundation gives out more than the required 5% minimum mandated by the IRS, distributing over 20% per year.

With zero labor costs and no brick and mortar offices, their impact is truly remarkable, as they have impacted 834 unique public charities. Originally founded in 1955 as The Wallace A. Gerbode Foundation, the EACH Foundation has inherited a legacy of philanthropy.

Since 2009, under the leadership of president and founder Lionel Shaw, it has evolved into a community foundation, empowering everyday people with the Gift of Giving and transforming lives. To date, the EACH Foundation has granted $9. 35 million to over 834 nonprofits, thanks to the hard work of their 45 dedicated volunteers.

They hold quarterly public meetings, shining a spotlight on the incredible work of their grant recipients in a TEDx-style format. The EACH Foundation is grateful for the support of their 50+ donors, particularly the Wallace A. Gerbode Foundation, their main benefactor.

As they continue to make an impact in various areas of need, such as education, environment, arts, animals, children, community, health, and homelessness, the EACH Foundation remains committed to their mission of giving back to society
