We are a nonprofit parent organization committed to empowering grassroots charities and amplifying their impact. We exist to support mission-driven organizations by providing the infrastructure, tools, and strategic services they need to grow, thrive, and serve their communities more effectively.
Founded on the belief that collaboration strengthens compassion, TOP Charity Foundation streamlines the back-end operations of its member charities so they can focus on what truly matters—helping people. From web development and digital presence to grant writing and compliance, we handle the details that can often limit smaller nonprofits.

✦ Fiscal sponsorship & compliance oversight
✦ Grant writing for federal, state, and private funders
✦ Website creation and technology tools
✦ Financial tracking & donor reporting
✦ Strategic guidance & organizational development
Our Mission
To equip and elevate nonprofit initiatives through shared services and strategic support, enabling them to make lasting change in their communities.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every charitable organization—regardless of its size, origin, or resources—has access to the tools, technology, and strategic support needed to fulfill its mission with excellence.
We believe that small and emerging charities hold the heart of local impact. Our vision is to bridge the gap between purpose and power—equipping these organizations with the infrastructure, mentorship, and funding opportunities traditionally reserved for large nonprofits. In this world we are building, no worthy cause goes unsupported, no community is overlooked, and no visionary leader has to abandon their mission due to a lack of resources.
Together, we are creating a future where:
✦ Therapists reach patients beyond insurance limits,
✦ Street teams bring dignity to those without shelter,
✦ And grassroots leaders rise with the confidence and support to serve boldly.
TOP Charity Foundation is not just a platform—it's a movement to ensure every mission has a chance to matter.
