Alexander Charities Inc concentrates its giving on local housing and shelter needs in Washington County, MD, prioritizing practical, near-term support for vulnerable residents such as seniors, people experiencing homelessness, and low-income families seeking homeownership. Grants are typically unrestricted or subsidy payments (rent/residence subsidies) and capital/assistance for home builds, indicating a preference for direct-service impact over advocacy or research. The foundation favors a small roster of community partners that deliver frontline housing and residential support.
Alexander Charities Inc directs its giving toward housing stability in Washington County, MD, with a clear tilt toward subsidies and practical support for vulnerable residents. The largest recent award in the record is a $21,038 grant to Senior Living Alternatives Inc for a one-year subsidy for an elderly resident, followed by another subsidy payment of $16,225 the prior year. That pattern shows a funder using relatively small, targeted grants to bridge immediate housing costs rather than backing broad program expansions. The foundation also supports homelessness response and affordable housing pathways. It gave $15,000 to Reach of Washington County for rental support for homeless individuals in both 2023 and 2024, and it awarded $14,500 to Habitat for Humanity Inc to assist with a new home build. Alongside those grants, Alexander Charities Inc has funded shelter repairs, furnishings, and limited operating needs tied to local housing services. The overall picture is of a community-based funder that favors direct assistance, short-term interventions, and local partners working with seniors, renters, and people in housing crisis.
Housing subsidy work is central to the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2024, it gave $21,038 to Senior Living Alternatives Inc for a one-year subsidy for an elderly resident, and in 2023 it awarded $16,225 for a six-month subsidy for an elderly resident. Those grants point to a recurring interest in helping older adults remain housed. The foundation also backs homelessness prevention. It gave $15,000 to Reach of Washington County for rental support for homeless individuals in 2024, matching a $15,000 grant the year before for the same purpose. For affordable homeownership, Alexander Charities Inc provided $14,500 to Habitat for Humanity Inc for assistance with a new home build. Beyond direct housing aid, it funded shelter and organizational needs such as flooring replacement, porch painting, website costs, workshops, and outreach.
Alexander Charities Inc’s recent grants cluster around a modest check size: the 25th percentile is $3,160, the median is $5,115, and the 75th percentile is $15,000. The distribution includes a few larger subsidy grants and many smaller awards for repairs, furnishings, and operating support. The pattern is recurring rather than one-off in several cases, with multiple recipients appearing in consecutive years. The foundation is not a DAF or program-related-investment vehicle based on the provided data, and it does not fund individuals. Its grants are local and confined to Maryland.
