We make funding decisions based on careful review of an organization’s strategies and effectiveness, leadership and financial position. Our funding is intended to strengthen organizations, and to improve their chances of making a measurable difference.

Areas we are currently focused on:

     *     Succoring the poor and needy

     *     Assisting those affected by disasters and war

     *     Furthering scientific advancements that will help people and the world we live in

     *     Supporting arts that uplift, unite and encourage

     *     Improving physical, mental, and emotional health

     *     Making education available to more people

As The Starfish Foundation is continually learning, our strategies within each of these areas will evolve; however, our dedication to applying best practices in philanthropy will remain unchanged. For more details on the Foundation’s recent grantmaking, please see our latest IRS Form 990PFs: 2023
