The Ann Maccarthy Parke Charitable Trust concentrates its giving on animal welfare and regional healthcare institutions, making sizeable unrestricted gifts to organizations that provide direct community services. Grants are few but large, usually awarded repeatedly to the same institutions, indicating long-term, relationship-based support rather than one-off project funding. While based in Florida, the foundation’s interests also include prominent zoological conservation/education institutions outside its immediate region.
Concentrated giving: a small number of large, unrestricted grants—often repeated to the same grantees—favoring established institutions over many small or new recipients.
Leon County Humane Society, Inc., Saint Louis Zoo Association, Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare Foundation
A repeated pattern of unrestricted support to the same organizations defines the Ann Maccarthy Parke Charitable Trust. In 2023 and 2024, the trust made matching grants to Saint Louis Zoo Association and Leon County Humane Society Inc., and it also renewed support for Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare Foundation, Animal Shelter Foundation Inc., Humane Society of Missouri, Tony Larussa's Animal Rescue Foundation, and Red Hills Horse Trails Inc. The grant list shows a narrow set of recipients, with awards large enough to function as flexible operating support rather than short-term project funding. Animal welfare sits at the center of the trust’s giving. Leon County Humane Society Inc., Animal Shelter Foundation Inc., Humane Society of Missouri, and Tony Larussa's Animal Rescue Foundation all appear among recent recipients, alongside conservation- and education-oriented support for Saint Louis Zoo Association. Healthcare is the other visible pillar, represented by Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare Foundation. The trust’s pattern is consistent across years: grants recur, amounts repeat or scale modestly year to year, and the same institutions receive multiple awards. That makes the trust easier to read as a relationship-based funder than as a broad, issue-diversified grantmaker.
Animal welfare organizations are a clear priority. The trust gave $118,842 in 2024 and $96,868 in 2023 to Leon County Humane Society Inc. in Tallahassee, and it also supported Animal Shelter Foundation Inc. with $47,537 in 2024 and $38,747 in 2023. Two more animal-focused grantees, Humane Society of Missouri and Tony Larussa's Animal Rescue Foundation, each received grants in both 2023 and 2024. Healthcare appears as a separate line of support. Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare Foundation received $71,305 in 2024 after a $58,121 grant in 2023, both listed as unrestricted. The trust also funded Red Hills Horse Trails Inc. in Tallahassee in consecutive years, with $23,768 in 2024 and $19,374 in 2023. On the conservation and education side, Saint Louis Zoo Association received $118,842 in 2024 and $96,868 in 2023.
The trust’s typical grant size is tightly clustered: p25 is $38,747, the median is $47,537, and p75 is $90,477. That spread fits a grantmaker that uses a small set of recurring award levels rather than highly varied project budgets. The same organizations appear across 2023 and 2024, which points to repeated support instead of one-time grants. Every recent award is marked unrestricted, and the trust does not fund individuals. Its latest reported annual grants total $862,840 against $7,116,773 in assets.
