MEETING THE
MOMENT
“We know that lasting change takes time. Much of our philanthropy is focused on building the long-term foundations that allow people to thrive.
But life is not only lived in the long term. Emergencies, crises, and unexpected challenges arise that require compassion and response in the moment.
This portfolio is our family’s way of showing up when it matters most—meeting immediate needs today while staying committed to the future we want to help build.”
– The Beck Family
When urgent crises arise, whether in the USA or around the world, we believe in showing up.
Meeting the Moment is our emergency response fund, allowing us to act quickly and support communities facing immediate challenges.
We focus on identifying and funding organizations that not only provide critical relief but do so in a way that aligns with our values — engaging local communities, centering dignity, and building long-term resilience. Whether it’s responding to a natural disaster, supporting displaced families, or addressing urgent humanitarian needs, we prioritize partners who listen first, act with care, and help communities recover with strength and independence.
When the world shifts, we respond—not just with resources, but with intention.

World Central Kitchen is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises.

In response to the Los Angeles wildfires early in 2025, we chose to support World Central Kitchen. We were drawn to them because they respond fast, provide culturally appropriate meals, and mobilize local chefs—infusing the local economy while feeding communities in crisis.
