    About 2001 Frederick & Nancy Dematteis Family Charitable Trust

    The DeMatteis Family Charitable Trust concentrates its giving in health and direct-service causes, with a strong emphasis on mobility/disability support and hospital funding. Grants also include higher education and women's services, often provided as unrestricted general support to established nonprofits. Funding appears regionally focused and directed to a small number of sizable grants rather than many small awards.

    Giving Approach

    Concentrated, relatively large general-support grants to a small number of organizations; evidence of repeat funding (Wheelchair Charities) and a regional/established-institution focus rather than many small or experimental grants.

Those larger awards sit alongside a cluster of $25,000 and $50,000 grants to nonprofits working in education, recovery, and community support, showing a pattern of established, project-oriented support rather than many small awards. Recent grantees include Marist College, Fresh Start Women's Foundation, and Cancer Support Community Arizona, which point to a mix of higher education, women’s services, and cancer support within a regional portfolio. The trust’s recent grants are all to U.S. organizations, with a strong concentration in New York and a visible presence in Arizona.
