The Andrew & Jaime Sullivan Family Foundation concentrates most of its giving on independent K–12 and higher education institutions, with sizable, repeat gifts to a small set of beneficiaries. A secondary, but consistent, interest is local environmental conservation and watershed/preservation groups in Massachusetts. Grants are typically unrestricted or for general/entity support, suggesting a preference for flexible funding to trusted institutions.
Concentrated portfolio: a few relatively large grants make up most giving, with repeat multi-year support to core education grantees and smaller, one-off gifts to local conservation nonprofits.
The Andrew & Jaime Sullivan Family Foundation gives some of its largest recent support to Thayer Academy, including a $110,000 entity-support grant in 2023. That scale is paired with a clear pattern: the foundation backs a small set of repeat recipients with flexible funding, often through general operations or entity support. Education is the most visible thread, with grants to independent schools and higher-education affiliates, while Massachusetts conservation groups and local civic organizations make up another steady line of giving. Several recipients appear more than once, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. Clemson University Foundation received $10,000 in both 2024 and 2025, and North River Watershed Assoc, Vineyard Preservation Trust, Inly School, and South Shore Natural Science Center also reappear across years. The foundation’s giving reaches both institutional and community-based beneficiaries, including scholarship support for an individual student and operating support for organizations serving education, preservation, and local public needs. Across the record, the grants are generally modest to mid-sized, but the overall pattern is shaped by a few larger anchor gifts to trusted institutions.
Education is the strongest theme in the grant record. The foundation gave $10,000 in 2025 to Clemson University Foundation for general operations and $5,000 in 2025 to Inly School for general operations, alongside a much larger $110,000 entity-support grant to Thayer Academy in 2023. Environmental and land-preservation work is another recurring area. North South River Watershed Association received $6,000 in 2025 for general operations, while Vineyard Preservation Trust received $5,000 in 2024 for entity support and $1,000 in 2025 for general operations. The Trustees of Reservations also appears in the record with $1,000 grants in 2023 and 2024. The foundation also makes smaller community and service grants. Project One Vet received $2,000 in 2024 and $1,000 in 2025, and National Fallen Firefighters Foundation received $4,460 in both 2024 and 2025.
Typical grants cluster around a small-gift profile: the p25 is $650, the median is $1,000, and the p75 is $2,000. That sits alongside a few much larger awards, including one major outlier to Thayer Academy. The record shows repeat support across multiple years for several organizations, especially within education and conservation, which points to continuing relationships rather than one-time giving. Grants are made by the family foundation itself, and the pattern includes unrestricted-style language such as general operations and entity support. The foundation also funds individuals, as shown by scholarship support in the grant list.
