The Double E-foundation
This organization is a private foundation dedicated to supporting various charitable causes primarily through general operating budget grants. Its mission reflects a commitment to civil rights, social justice, mental health, and addressing food insecurity, as evidenced by its funding of organizations such as the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, and Planned Parenthood. The foundation serves a diverse range of populations and sectors, focusing on equity and rights advocacy. While it operates primarily in the United States, its funding is not limited to a specific geographic area, with grants distributed across multiple states.

Ideal Applicant
A small-to-mid sized nonprofit working in civil rights, social justice, human rights, health, or basic needs that seeks modest general operating support and can be introduced or discovered by the foundation.
Good Fit
- • Mission aligns with civil rights, social justice, human rights, health, or food security.
- • Request is for general operating support in the ~ $3k–$5k range.
- • Organization is located in or operates in one of the states the foundation has funded.
- • Has a referral or prior connection to current or past grantees or to the foundation's officers.
- • Can demonstrate clear, direct program impact suitable for unrestricted funding.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to organizations in six different states and the foundation directs the large majority of dollars out of state; giving is multi-state rather than local.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded many distinct independent organizations across the observed years (15 recipients in 2022, 7 in 2023, 10 in 2024) and added seven new recipients in 2024, indicating a broadly distributed recipient set for its size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows a high share of new grantees in 2024 (seven new recipients), but the foundation also declares grants are by preselection only and has no public website or clear contact route, so a new applicant could be added but an open application path is not visible.
