Everything I do, everything that comes into the Foundation, goes into GIFTS. It's our Bible. —Abell Foundation, MicroEdge client since 1986

Our Beginnings
One grant can open many doors for an individual, a community, a city-even pave a collective way of being and living. In 1985, Dov Torenberg & Ximena Florez founded MicroEdge and helped one organization, the Hearst Foundation, do just that-by developing a program tailored to its particular grantmaking needs. Since then, MicroEdge has provided countless grantmakers, nationally and internationally, with the tools to simplify their multi-layered processes of gift giving.
