The Andrews Family Foundation concentrates its giving on independent K–12 education, repeatedly funding private preparatory and specialty schools, while also supporting major medical institutions. Grants are typically unrestricted/general purpose, suggesting trust-based funding to established organizations rather than project-specific support. The foundation favors a small number of recurring grantees and makes relatively large gifts to well-known institutions.
Concentrated giving: a few relatively large, repeat grants to established institutions (multiple multi-grant relationships), predominately general operating support rather than many small one-off gifts.
Andrews Family Foundation C/o Reese Henry & Company Inc. repeatedly makes large, general-purpose grants to a small set of established institutions, with Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale receiving $200,000 in 2024, $150,000 in 2023, and $100,000 in 2025. That recurring pattern points to a funder that favors flexible support rather than tightly prescribed project funding. The same approach appears in its education grants: Great Lakes Academy in Chicago received $80,000 in 2023, $50,000 in 2024, and $30,000 in 2025, while Chandler School in Pasadena and Thacher School in Ojai also appear multiple times at $50,000 levels. The foundation’s giving also reaches medical and community-serving organizations, including support for Snowmass Chapel, animal welfare groups, and a few public-service or humanitarian recipients. Most grants are labeled general purpose, which suggests the foundation is comfortable backing organizations at the operating level. Its portfolio is national in scope, but it centers on a relatively small number of repeat recipients rather than a broad scatter of one-time awards.
Independent and private schools are a clear theme. The foundation gave $80,000 in 2023, $50,000 in 2024, and $30,000 in 2025 to Great Lakes Academy in Chicago for general purpose support, and it made repeated $50,000 grants to Chandler School in Pasadena and Thacher School in Ojai. Medical support is another consistent thread: Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale received $200,000 in 2024, $150,000 in 2023, and $100,000 in 2025, all for general purpose use. The portfolio also includes community and congregational support, such as $25,000 in 2024 and $21,000 in 2023 to Snowmass Chapel in Snowmass Village. Animal welfare appears as a smaller but recurring category through grants to All-star Animal Hospital, Aspen Animal Shelter, Halo Animal Rescue, and Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
Typical grant size is $1,500 at the 25th percentile, $15,500 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile, which shows a split between modest community gifts and much larger institutional awards. The foundation clearly repeats recipients across multiple years, especially Mayo Clinic, Great Lakes Academy, Chandler School, Thacher School, Snowmass Chapel, All-star Animal Hospital, Aspen Animal Shelter, Halo Animal Rescue, and Police Officers of Scottsdale Association. Grants are overwhelmingly labeled general purpose, indicating flexible operating support rather than restricted project funding. The foundation does not fund individuals and makes grants nationally.
