501(c)(3) · EIN 84-4475338 · Founded 2019
We fund the work quietly.
Other people do it.
The Ballistiglass Charitable Foundation is a private foundation that makes grants to 501(c)(3) partners for ballistic-glazing installations in schools, sanctuaries, and community spaces. Hardware is sourced from Ballistiglass at cost. No related-party profit. Every grant is reported in our 990-PF.
The work, by the numbers
Small foundation. Specific work.
BCF was established in 2019 in response to the events of February 14, 2018. The foundation makes grants to partner 501(c)(3) organizations who oversee the specification, installation, and ongoing custody of each project. The hardware is BallistiMAX from the parent company, sourced at cost.
Schools and community spaces, 2018–present.
Heron Heights, MSD, Eagles' Haven.
Ballistiglass, LLC. Hardware at cost, no related-party profit.
How the grant process works
We write the check. A partner holds the project.
When a grant is made, BCF transfers restricted funds to a preselected 501(c)(3) partner, who then oversees installation and ongoing care of the glazing. The Eagles' Haven grant ran through JAFCO, a Florida 501(c)(3) that serves survivors and families. The school grants ran through the receiving districts. In every case, the receiving organization owns the project. BCF does not install. BCF does not own glass. BCF funds the work.
Our posture
Quiet work. Specific partners. Every dollar accounted for.
This foundation does not run public campaigns. It does not solicit emergency appeals. It does not sell merchandise. It funds installations that would not otherwise happen, through partners who can hold the project for the long term. If that is the kind of work you want to support, an associate from our team can walk you through it.
