Key takeaways

  • The filing shows the foundation paid out $32,504,603 in its most recent year and accepts applications, though it gives no deadlines.
  • Its stated focus is health and education, and its application information limits awards to the educational and medical assistance of children, so a group whose work does not reach children in those areas is unlikely to fit.
  • Send a letter stating your organisation type and what you need, as the filing requires, and do not assume a grant size or geographic area, because the filing gives neither.
  • The filing does not show which kinds of organisation have received grants, so it is hard to judge how competitive an approach will be.

What they fund

Profile derived from the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) and its website, with every statement checked against those sources. Sources read on 12 October 2026.

Priority Areas

The foundation describes its aim as creating measurable and long-term impact in communities through health and education. It says Andrew and Peggy Cherng established it as their family foundation. Its filed application information limits awards to educational and medical assistance of children and requires a letter specifying the organisation type and needs. Its stated focus is therefore children's health and education. The grant rows name no recipient organisations and provide no purpose text, so they do not establish which kinds of charitable organisations receive its grants. Beyond asking for the organisation type and needs, the available material does not specify who may apply.
