We are a
Foundation with Heart

At Sincere, we build technology that brings you closer and helps show you care to the people who matter the most. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to celebrate, recognize milestones, and honor memories; and that is only possible when people have what they need to thrive.

With our Foundation, we support organizations and programs that address basic needs:

Food Security

Sincere Foundation supports organizations that provide meals, connect people with food resources and nutritional information, research the complex causes of food insecurity, and everything in between. We are open to any program that addresses the essential food needs of vulnerable people.

Housing Stability

Ending homelessness requires a holistic approach that includes more affordable permanent housing, resources for rapid re-housing, workforce development, emergency shelter, and street outreach. We support programs that work with individuals and families to meet this need.

Safe Spaces

We support organizations that provide spaces free from bias or potentially threatening actions, ideas, or conversations. This can include, but is not limited to, school campuses, domestic violence shelters, LGBTQIA+ youth and family programs, and mental health resources.

Let's get to the heart of it.

What is Not Funded

Sincere Foundation does not fund events, scholarships, religious organizations, grants to individuals or municipalities, political groups/parties, or lobbying of any kind. The Foundation will also not fund any organization that discriminates on the basis or race, religion, creed, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, national origin, marital status, or veteran status. Discrimination of any kind is at odds with our mission to support organizations that promote thriving communities.
