Flagship grant program
Food Security & Pantry Support — Riverside County
Our strongest fit for grocery retailers, hunger-relief funders, and local corporate grants. Funds restock verified food bank and pantry partners, purchase groceries through approved vendors, and extend food access for households facing verified hardship.
- Pantry restock through verified food bank networks
- Vendor-paid groceries and essential household items
- Seasonal bridges (summer meal gaps, holidays, winter provisions)
- Documented purchases, distributions, and partner reporting
All funds are administered by Acts of Kindness Foundation with full discretion over allocation. Assistance is delivered exclusively through verified partners or direct vendor payments — never as unrestricted cash to individuals. Assistance is subject to program capacity and verified need.

Emergency Medical Support — Riverside County
Foundation-administered support for households facing short-term medical hardship — prescription access, medical transportation, and household stabilization related to documented medical emergencies. Not medical care, diagnosis, treatment, or unrestricted cash.
- Vendor-paid pharmacy support through approved partners
- Medical transportation assistance through verified providers
- Household stabilization tied to documented medical emergencies
- Referrals to appropriate community resources
Acts of Kindness Foundation does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, insurance, or emergency medical services. Assistance is Foundation-administered through approved vendors and verified partners — never unrestricted cash to individuals.
Beyond the two grant-ready lanes
Food security and emergency medical support are our strongest fit for retail CSR, hunger-relief funders, and health-adjacent corporate grants today. Acts of Kindness Foundation also administers housing stability, education and youth access, disaster response, mental health access, and related programs — proposals for those pillars are welcome when they align with verified delivery capacity and counsel-approved restricted-fund treatment.

Common funder & donor questions
This page is general information only—not legal, tax, or financial advice.
Are donations to Acts of Kindness Foundation tax-deductible?
Acts of Kindness Foundation is recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt public charity under IRC §501(c)(3). Contributions may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Donors and funders should consult their own tax advisors. See Donation disclosures for individual giving terms.
Can our company claim a charitable deduction for a grant or sponsorship?
Corporate gifts to qualified 501(c)(3) organizations may be deductible for businesses subject to IRS rules and the company's tax situation. This page is general information only — not tax or legal advice. Counsel should review grant agreements and any cause-marketing claims before public use.
Do you support employer matching gift programs?
Yes. Employees may give through aokindness.org and request a match through their employer's giving portal when Acts of Kindness Foundation is listed. HR teams may use our EIN (41-5261893) and organization-at-a-glance facts on this page. See Ways to give for checkout paths.
What is the difference between a grant and an individual donation?
Grants and CSR partnerships typically involve restricted proposals, reporting, and counsel-reviewed agreements. Individual donations flow through our public checkout with standard donor disclosures. Both support Foundation-administered programs under Board discretion.
Grant and CSR inquiries: contact@aokindness.org. Include your organization, geography, timeline, and preferred program focus. Counsel reviews grant agreements, cause-marketing language, and restricted-fund treatment before acceptance.
