The Other Foundation operates as a giving circle, not a registered nonprofit organization. We intentionally remain independent to maintain flexibility in our grantmaking, including the ability to fund individuals directly.

Members vote monthly to determine which applicants receive funding. Several $1,000+ grants are awarded each month. Awards are structured as gifts; recipients should consult a tax professional regarding their individual circumstances.

Eligible applicants include both registered nonprofit organizations and individuals with community-focused project ideas. All projects must serve the greater good of Birmingham, Alabama.
