About Aequitas Education
Aequitas Education’s recent giving is anchored by a large operating grant to Fnd for the Annunciation in Hulbert, Oklahoma, alongside support for Hozho Academy in Gallup, New Mexico. Those two awards show a pattern of backing schools directly, not just through one-time project grants. The foundation supports classical K-12 education, Catholic and faith-based formation, workforce training, and community service projects across the Southwest. Its grantmaking also reaches into initiatives tied to school startup, ongoing operations, and program delivery, including support for classical academies and vocational training efforts. The foundation’s education work centers on founding and sustaining classically guided schools, including Catholic and charter classical academies. In parallel, it funds community initiatives that provide practical support to families and local residents, and workforce projects that aim to build job skills and placement outcomes. Aequitas Education’s portfolio connects school formation, career training, and community support within a regional giving pattern that is concentrated in the Southwest and includes recipients in New Mexico and Oklahoma.
What Aequitas Education Funds
In classical education, Aequitas Education gave $108,943 to Hozho Academy in Gallup, New Mexico for an operating grant. That fits a broader pattern of support for classical K-12 schools, including startup and operating needs. The foundation also funds Catholic and faith-based formation work. Its largest recent grant, $286,061 to Fnd for the Annunciation in Hulbert, Oklahoma, was an operating grant tied to that school and formation context. Workforce development is another clear line of giving. Aequitas supports industrial automotive training, including a 6-week automotive training program and placement-oriented support for local residents in the Southwest. Community service funding appears in projects such as Common Good Baskets and other direct-support initiatives for families and underserved community members.
How Aequitas Education Gives
Typical grant size sits in a fairly tight range: the 25th percentile is $153,222, the median is $197,502, and the 75th percentile is $241,782. That suggests a practice of making mid-six-figure or near-mid-six-figure awards rather than many small grants. The foundation is a Public Charity, not a vehicle for individual giving, and it does not make program-related investments. The recent record shows operating support rather than only project-restricted grants, and the same education and community themes recur across the funder’s stated programs. Unsolicited applications are not part of the listed programs.
