The A A Beiro Family Foundation concentrates giving on Catholic education and parish-based institutions in the Alexandria/Northern Virginia area, consistently supporting local Catholic elementary and secondary schools and religious communities. Grants are targeted and repeat-funded, indicating longstanding relationships with a small set of faith-based grantees. The foundation appears to prioritize operational or program support for parochial schools and the supporting religious orders that staff or govern them.
Concentrated, relationship-driven giving: a small number of moderately large, repeat grants to the same local Catholic schools and religious organizations rather than many one-off gifts.
The largest recent grant in the record is $28,000 to St Rita's School in Alexandria for unrestricted support, a good example of how A A Beiro Family Foundation c/o Mary T Beiro uses flexible funding for Catholic education in Northern Virginia. The foundation’s giving pattern centers on parish schools and nearby faith-based institutions, with repeated grants to the same local organizations across multiple years. Bishop Ireton High School has received support in 2023, 2024, and 2025, including a $20,000 grant in 2025 and $19,000 grants in prior years. St Rita's School also appears as a recurring grantee, along with Blessed Sacrament and the Scholarship Fund of Alexandria. The record shows grants used for unrestricted purposes, which suggests the foundation often supports operating needs rather than narrowly designated projects. Alongside schools, the foundation has also funded a Catholic religious order, the Sisters of Holy Cross in Notre Dame, Indiana, indicating support for the institutions connected to the schools it serves. The overall profile is one of focused, repeated grantmaking to a small circle of Catholic organizations tied to Alexandria and the surrounding area.
Catholic education is the clearest theme in the grant record. A A Beiro Family Foundation c/o Mary T Beiro gave $20,000 to Bishop Ireton High School in 2025 for unrestricted support, and the school also received $19,000 grants in 2023 and 2024. Parish-based elementary education appears as well: St Rita's School received $21,000 in 2025 and $19,000 in 2024, both unrestricted. The foundation also supported Blessed Sacrament in Alexandria with $12,000 in 2025 and $8,000 in both 2023 and 2024. Beyond direct school support, the Scholarship Fund of Alexandria received $4,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025, pointing to a steady role in tuition assistance or related scholarship support. A smaller local grant went to Alexandria Little League, showing that the foundation’s giving is not limited only to Catholic institutions.
The foundation’s typical grant size is relatively compact, with a p25 of $4,000, a median of $9,000, and a p75 of $19,000. Grantmaking is repeat-based rather than one-off: several recipients appear in multiple years, including Bishop Ireton High School, St Rita's School, Blessed Sacrament, the Scholarship Fund of Alexandria, Alexandria Little League, and the Sisters of Holy Cross. The grants are listed as unrestricted, which fits a flexible support model. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Available records point to a small, steady set of grantees rather than a broad open call.
