Grants

Starfish Fund icon

The Starfish Fund

An old man watched a child on the beach throwing starfish back into the ocean. “Why are you doing this?” he asked. “You can’t possibly save them all.” The child replied, “No, but I can save this one.”

Inspired by the story of a child saving starfish on the beach, even though countless others remained, the Starfish Fund is designed to provide small grants to individuals experiencing hardship. This fund recognizes the profound impact of helping one person at a time—a small act of kindness can make a world of difference.
