Freddie Mac Foundation

Grant Information

Freddie Mac, through its Corporate Giving program and the Foundation, is the largest corporate funder in the metropolitan Washington, DC area. The Freddie Mac Foundation, created in 1991, is at the heart of Freddie Mac's philanthropy. Since it began in 1991, the Foundation has improved the lives of more than 1.7 million children and their families.

We invest in nonprofit programs in the following areas:

  • Stable Homes, Stable Families helps low-income families who are struggling to secure vital services, such as emergency shelter and transitional housing, meet their immediate needs.  And, the program addresses long-term needs by supporting residential services, so that families become more self-sufficient.
  • Foster Care & Adoption creates brighter futures for foster children by promoting adoption from foster care, providing pre-and post-adoption resources, and helping teens transition out of the foster care system.
  • Youth Development enables young people to reach their full potential, strengthen their academic and life skills, celebrate their achievements and grow into confident, caring, responsible adults. 
  • Strengthening Families builds positive parenting skills, prevents child abuse and neglect, and promotes early childhood development to help children get a solid start in life and enter school ready to learn. 

Freddie Mac and the Freddie Mac Foundation have invested more than $321 million since 1991 in nonprofits that serve children and their families.
