The Albert F George Foundation concentrates its giving on Masonic-affiliated human services in Illinois, specifically supporting residential care institutions. Nearly all grants go to two organizations — an Illinois Masonic children’s home and an Illinois Masonic home for adults/elders — indicating a strong organizational and geographic focus on fraternal social-service institutions in the Chicago area.
Highly concentrated giving: a small number of relatively large grants split almost evenly between two repeat grantees, focused on general/operational support rather than many small, diverse grants.
Albert F George Foundation Xxxxx2000 directs nearly all of its giving to two Illinois Masonic residential institutions: Illinois Masonic Childrens Home in LaGrange and Illinois Masonic Home in Springfield. The pattern is highly concentrated, with repeated general support to both organizations across multiple years, showing a consistent commitment to fraternal social-service care rather than a broad portfolio of grantees. The largest recent grants on file are $34,000 awards to each institution in 2023 and 2024, followed by $25,500 gifts in 2025. That sequence suggests a stable, recurring relationship with both child and elder care providers. The foundation’s grantmaking sits within human services, especially residential care for children and for older adults. Its named recipients are both Masonic-affiliated, and the grant purpose is listed as general support, which points to operating support for these institutions rather than project-specific funding. With annual grants of $187,000 and only a small asset base, the foundation gives in a focused pattern that centers a pair of long-standing Illinois organizations.
The clearest theme in the foundation’s grantmaking is support for Masonic-affiliated residential care in Illinois. In one year, it gave $34,000 to Illinois Masonic Childrens Home for general support, and in another year it gave $34,000 to Illinois Masonic Home for general support. Those awards show a direct emphasis on operating support for institutions serving children and older adults. The recurring pattern continues in 2025, when each of those same organizations received $25,500. That repetition across years points to a relationship built around continuity rather than one-time project funding. The grants also fit a broader fraternal social-service mission: both recipients are Masonic-affiliated, and both are residential care settings. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s support is concentrated in Illinois and stays within the same service model, with general support used for both child-care and elder-care institutions.
Typical grants cluster tightly around a narrow band: the 25th percentile is $27,625, and both the median and 75th percentile are $34,000. That indicates a small set of recurring award levels rather than a wide range of grant sizes. The recent record also shows repeat giving to the same recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, with general support used each time. The pattern is institutional rather than individual, and the foundation does not fund individuals. It also does not make program-related investments. The grant list points to a family or private foundation structure with geographically restricted, relationship-based support centered on a few long-running grantees.
