The Andrew White Family Foundation concentrates its giving in the Houston area, funding local secondary schools, alumni organizations and faith-based/community programs. Grants are modest in number but meaningful in size and often recur to the same recipients, indicating an interest in sustaining institutions the family likely has a personal connection to (churches, private schools, and local legacy organizations).
Concentrated, local-focused giving with a small number of mid-sized grants; several repeat grants to the same organizations rather than many one-off gifts.
Andrew White Family Foundation C/o Robert Andrew White President gives repeatedly to a small circle of Houston-area institutions, with awards that often recur across years and cluster around schools, churches, and family- or alumni-linked organizations. The largest recent grant in the file is $27,730 to Famliy Legacy in Dallas, followed by $26,094 to The Story Church in Houston and $25,880 to Episcopal High School in Bellaire. Those grants point to a pattern of support for faith-based work, private education, and community heritage or legacy groups. The foundation’s giving is local in scope and entirely U.S.-based, but the recipient list shows a strong concentration in Houston and nearby communities. Lamar High School Alumni Association appears in both 2023 and 2024 at $20,000 each year, while Episcopal High School also receives more than one grant, suggesting ongoing rather than one-time support for selected institutions. Smaller grants to River Oaks Baptist School, Ut Health, Young Life Southwest, Serenity Retreat, and Malachi Destiny & Purpose round out a profile centered on specific local organizations rather than broad, open-ended charitable programs.
Education is a core thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2023, it gave $25,880 to Episcopal High School in Bellaire, and in 2024 it followed with another $8,063 to the same school. Alumni support is another recurring line of giving: Lamar High School Alumni Association received $20,000 in 2023 and $20,000 again in 2024. Faith-based support also appears prominently. The Story Church in Houston received $25,000 in 2023 and $26,094 in 2024, showing sustained support for congregation-level philanthropy. Smaller grants extend the same pattern into related community organizations, including $2,000 to River Oaks Baptist School and $1,500 to Young Life Southwest, both in Houston.
Typical grants are mid-sized for a small family foundation: the grant-size range shown by the distribution is p25 of $1,875, median of $14,032, and p75 of $25,220. The record also shows repeat support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially Lamar High School Alumni Association, Episcopal High School, and The Story Church. That pattern suggests ongoing relationship-based giving rather than isolated awards. The foundation is structured as a family foundation and does not fund individuals or program-related investments. The grants shown are philanthropic and appear to function as general support rather than tied to a formal application process.
