Our Partners

At 2x4 foundation, we strive to support the non-profits doing the work and put the onus on our foundation to identify these non-profits and provide them grants. 2x4 meets organizations where they are, sending in our team of volunteers to understand and vet their needs. Many grassroots organizations cannot spend the time or resources to fill out grant applications. 2x4 presents the solution to this problem.
