About Allen P and Josephine B Green
This appears to be a small, family-associated foundation that makes highly targeted, mission-driven gifts tied to preserving a specific local landmark. The single recorded grant — a sizable award for the A.P. Green Chapel — suggests the foundation prioritizes conserving a family or community religious/historic property in Kansas City rather than broader philanthropic portfolios.

About Allen P and Josephine B Green
A.P. Green Chapel preservation is the clearest thread in Allen P and Josephine B Green’s grantmaking. The foundation’s largest recorded gift, $130,000 in 2023, went to the A P Green Chapel Preservation Fund in Kansas City, and a second 2025 award of $52,000 again supported the chapel preservation fund. That recurring pattern points to a funder with a narrow, place-based agenda rather than a broad portfolio of unrelated causes. Beyond the chapel, the foundation has backed local institutions and programs in central Missouri, including the Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri, Woodhaven Learning Center, and the Mexico Area Family YMCA. The grants show a preference for practical support tied to buildings, services, and community facilities, with funding that can cover preservation work, youth programming, disability supports, and food assistance. The foundation also makes scholarship support through the Allen P. and Josephine B. Green Foundation Scholarship for a graduating senior at Mexico High School, reinforcing a long-term connection to Missouri communities. Across the recent grants list, the grants are concentrated in towns such as Kansas City, Columbia, Mexico, and Vandalia, with most awards staying in Missouri.
What Allen P and Josephine B Green Funds
One recurring theme is preservation of the A.P. Green Chapel. The foundation gave $40,000 in 2024 to the A P Green Chapel Preservation Fund for an A.P. Green Chapel award, and it also made a $32,000 grant to Curators of the University of Missouri Special Trust for A.P. Green Chapel work. Another clear area is food assistance: in 2023, it awarded $30,000 to Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri for the Buddy Packs program for Audrain County, and in 2025 it gave $30,000 for food assistance for youth in mid-Missouri. Youth and family programming also appears repeatedly. Mexico Area Family YMCA Inc received $40,000 for a playground project, while Van-far R-I School District received $30,000 for playground equity at Van-Far Elementary. The foundation has also funded services for people with developmental disabilities, including a $30,000 grant to Woodhaven Learning Center for an after-school program.
How Allen P and Josephine B Green Gives
The recent grants suggest a middle-range giving pattern centered on modest project awards: the typical grant size is $7,500 at the 25th percentile, $15,000 at the median, and $20,000 at the 75th percentile. Several grants sit above that range, but many recent awards cluster around $20,000 to $30,000. The foundation appears to support recipients over multiple years; the A.P. Green Chapel Preservation Fund appears in both 2023 and 2025, and Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri also appears in more than one year. It accepts unsolicited applications for its general grantmaking program, which is described as semi-annual and focused on nonprofits aligned with improving quality of life in Missouri. The foundation also funds an annual scholarship program for one Mexico High School senior.
