The Al & Char Hatfield Family Foundation concentrates its giving in a small number of sizable grants that combine support for biomedical research with targeted local community causes in Palm Beach County. The foundation has made repeat, substantial investments in precision medicine research (notably pharmacogenomics at the Mayo Clinic) while also funding youth services and niche charitable causes tied to the Wellington/Palm Beach area.
Concentrated giving: few, relatively large grants with repeat funding to a core research beneficiary (Mayo Clinic) alongside targeted local philanthropic gifts; mix of national research philanthropy and community-focused grants.
A pair of $200,000 grants to Mayo Clinic define the Al & Char Hatfield Family Foundation’s recent profile: one in 2023 for pharmacogenomics research and one in 2025 for program support. That repeated commitment puts biomedical research at the center of the foundation’s giving, alongside a smaller set of grants tied to youth services and equestrian-related support. The foundation’s recent grant list also shows a $120,000 award to Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach for program support, which signals a continuing local interest in youth development in Palm Beach County. Beyond those larger commitments, the foundation funds a mix of community and athletics-oriented organizations through program support and event or team support. Its recipients include the Kevin Babington Foundation, Justworld International, the United States Equestrian Team Foundation, and the Boston Bruins Foundation. Grant sizes range from modest awards to six-figure commitments, with most grants in the middle of that spread. The pattern suggests a family foundation that combines research funding with practical support for charities connected to science, youth, and equestrian communities.
Biomedical research is the foundation’s clearest theme. In 2023, it gave $200,000 to Mayo Clinic for pharmacogenomics research, and it returned in 2025 with another $200,000 to Mayo Clinic for program support. That repeated funding points to sustained interest in precision medicine work rather than a one-time gift. Youth development is another visible area. The foundation awarded $120,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach for program support, linking its giving to children and youth services in Palm Beach County. It also supports equestrian and related charitable activity. Grants include $115,651 to the Kevin Babington Foundation for program support, $10,143 to Justworld International for program support, and $10,000 to the United States Equestrian Team Foundation for program support. A separate $5,000 grant to the Boston Bruins Foundation was tagged as marathon team support.
Typical grants cluster around five figures: the 25th percentile is $5,000, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is $25,000. The recent record also includes several much larger awards, including two $200,000 gifts. The foundation appears to make repeat grants to some recipients across multiple years, most clearly Mayo Clinic and Fidelity Great Charity Challenge. Its giving is managed as a family foundation, with program-support grants dominating the recent list and a few event or team support awards mixed in.
