This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.

Key takeaways

  • KHP Foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation it has not invited should not send one.
  • Its recorded grants cover education and research, efforts to end modern slavery, Jewish community-building, church ministry, conservation and emergency and humanitarian relief, so a small organisation working in one of these areas has a plausible match.
  • About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $99 and $10,000, and half of its grants to organisations were $1,650 or less, so a modest request in the low thousands fits its typical pattern, though its largest grant of $100,000 went to Starport Foundation, an organisation that regrants, and the typical band is not a ceiling.
  • Almost all of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had funded before, so the relationship matters more than a cold approach, and the filing gives no application instructions beyond this.
  • No geographic focus is stated; its grants have mainly been in California and Taiwan, which describes where it has given rather than who may apply.

Overview

KHP Foundation is a US private foundation based in Palo Alto, CA.

What they fund

Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.

Priority Areas

The recorded grants supported education, scholarship and learning, including science, biology and biomedical technology; efforts to end modern slavery; Jewish community-building; church ministry; conservation; and emergency and humanitarian relief. Recipients include universities and school-support organisations, religious bodies, a community organisation, a foundation, and environmental and humanitarian charities. Its giving therefore reaches organisations working in education and research as well as community, faith, anti-slavery, conservation and relief activity. The filings show grants to organisations in California and beyond the United States, including Taiwan.

Geographic Focus
