The Foundation currently has five charities that represent our core values. Each charity is picked based upon their mission, the impact they make, and how they touch the community. The Foundation donates to each charity on a quarterly basis.
These core charities are KQED, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Prevent Child Abuse America, UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland and Act To Change.
KQED
KQED is television, radio, digital media and educational services that change lives for the better and help individuals and communities achieve their full potential.
KQED serves the people of Northern California with a community-supported alternative to commercial media. They provide citizens with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions; convene community dialogue; bring the arts to everyone; and engage audiences to share their stories. They take people of all ages on journeys of exploration—exposing them to new people, places and ideas.
ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL
The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.
PREVENT CHILD ABUSE AMERICA

Founded in 1972 in Chicago, Prevent Child Abuse America works to promote the healthy development of children and prevent child abuse before it occurs.

ACT TO CHANGE
Act To Change is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to address bullying, including in the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. Kids and teens are bullied in schools all across the country. Unfortunately, many AAPI youth who are bullied face unique cultural, religious, and language barriers that can keep them from getting help.
This campaign aims to empower you—students, families, educators—with the knowledge and tools you need to help stop and prevent bullying in your communities. Bullying is a problem that affects us all and we must act together to put an end to it.
