Mission and programs · 2024

• THE OPEN HEARTS FOUNDATION MADE INVESTMENTS THROUGH ITS GRANTMAKING PROGRAM IN ALIGNMENT WITH ITS OPEN HEARTS PHILOSOPHY, WHICH IS INSPIRED BY JANE SEYMOUR'S MOTHER, MIEKE FRANKENBERG. THIS PHILOSOPHY DRIVES THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION FORWARD AND ITS GRANT CYCLE FUNDED $100,000 TO CHARITIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. THE FOUNDATION HAS FOCUSED THESE GRANT INVESTMENTS PRIMARILY TO SUPPORT SMALL, EMERGING NONPROFITS WITH BUDGETS OF LESS THAN A MILLION DOLLARS. THROUGH THE FOUNDATION'S EXTENSIVE INTERNAL VETTING PROCESS, 4 CHARITIES RECEIVED GRANTS TO SUPPORT THEIR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES IN ARIZONA, CALIFORNIA, AND GEORGIA. THESE NONPROFITS SERVE HIGH RISK COMMUNITIES IN NEED OF FOOD SECURITY SO THAT CHILDREN AND FAMILIES CAN CONTINUE TO THRIVE. AS PART OF THE GRANTMAKING PROGRAM, THE FOUNDATION SHARES THE MISSION OF EACH FUNDED CHARITY WITH ITS GLOBAL FAMILY OF DONORS AND VOLUNTEERS. ADDITIONALLY, ABOUT HALF OF THE CHARITIES LEVERAGE THE FOUNDATION'S GRANT AS A MATCHING GRANT AND RAISE DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THE FOUNDATION'S GRANT.

• VOLUNTEERISM IS A CRITCAL CORE INTIATIVE OF THE OPEN HEARTS FOUNDATION BECAUSE WE BELIEVE WE ALL CAN DO SOMETHING TO HELP OTHERS. INSPIRING VOLUNTEERISM AND HOSTING VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCES ARE CORE STRATEGIES TO THIS PROGRAM. SINCE THE PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN 2018, THE FOUNDATION HAS HOSTED MANY VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCES THAT HAS ENGAGED A GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF VOLUNTEERS. IN 2024, THE FOUNDATION SUPPORTED THE VOLUNTEER CENTER OF SOUTH BAY HARBOR AND LONG BEACH TO PACK 4,044 LITERACY BAGS. THESE EFFORTS SUPPORTED 146 CLASSROOMS ACROSS THE SOUTH BAY COMMUNITY.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
