The AA Batarse Foundation is a small, Bay Area-focused private funder that prioritizes local education and health nonprofits and direct scholarships. Its giving includes support for Catholic parish/school causes and cemetery/faith-related charities, community family services, and regional hospitals and clinics. Grants are modest and frequently targeted to specific institutions or named individuals, suggesting a personal, locally rooted philanthropic approach.
A $13,249 scholarship to St Joachim School is the clearest signal in the Aa Batarse Foundation’s recent giving: the funder supports education in small, direct amounts, often tied to specific schools, students, and local institutions. The foundation also made repeated scholarship payments to Karen Rojas in Oakland, showing that individual aid is part of its pattern rather than an isolated exception. Alongside those education gifts, it has backed Catholic and faith-linked organizations, community family services, and hospital fundraising, suggesting a grantmaking approach built around practical needs in the Bay Area and nearby communities. Recent support includes cash donations to public charities such as Davis Street Family Resource Center, La Clinica De La Raza, and St John Cemetery Graves Association, plus general-operations support for entities like Sequoia Hospital Foundation and Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health. The funder’s recent record also includes smaller grants to organizations such as Kainos Home and Training Center, The Unity Council, and American Red Cross, which reinforces a pattern of modest, targeted gifts across education, health, and community service.
Education is a core theme in the foundation’s recent giving. It awarded $13,249 to St Joachim School for scholarship support and also made scholarship payments of $7,500 and $6,500 to Karen Rojas in Oakland. Health-related support appears across both hospitals and clinics: the foundation gave $7,000 to UCSF Foundation, $5,500 to Sequoia Hospital Foundation, and $5,000 to La Clinica De La Raza. Community and family services also show up in the record, including a $5,000 grant to Davis Street Family Resource Center in San Leandro. Faith-linked and cemetery-related giving is another visible thread, with gifts to St John Cemetery Graves Association and Unity School of Christianity.
Recent grants are typically small: the typical grant size is $200 at the 25th percentile, $500 at the median, and $1,000 at the 75th percentile. The record shows both one-off gifts and repeated support to the same recipients across multiple years, including Karen Rojas, Davis Street Family Resource Center, Kainos Home and Training Center, Mills-Peninsula Hospital Foundation, Sequoia Hospital Foundation, and Hillsborough Beautification Foundat. The foundation funds individuals as well as organizations, with scholarship payments going directly to named students. It also uses cash donations and general-operations support, including unrestricted-style gifts to public charities.
