Recipient Criteria
Individuals, families, non- profit organizations. Young, old, large, small. Betterment recipients come in all shapes and sizes from all over the country and abroad. But, there are underlying factors that characterize the individual or non-profit organization we seek to help.
The following three criteria are the standards by which each event committee selects their recipients and our national board chooses them for support.

Recipient Criteria:
- Immediate Impact - the Foundation must be able to make an immediate and specific difference for a person, non-profit organization or community. We do not invest in large funds or research. Read more about the Immediate Need Fund here.
- In our Network - grant recipients must be recommended by someone in the Foundation's network of supporters who confirms and defines the recipient's need and philanthropic spirit. We want to empower our supporters to recommend the people in their local communities.
- The Gift that Keeps on Giving - potential recipients, both individuals and non-profit organizations, must possess a philanthropic spirit through their past actions or commit to bettering their communities long after the grant is awarded, allowing Betterment to "give the gift that keeps on giving".
