The Anne Anastasi Charitable Foundation funds small- to mid-sized community organizations with a strong emphasis on local public safety, religious/faith-based ministries, animal welfare, and regional arts and cultural institutions—frequently supporting annual fundraisers and general operating needs. Grants are geographically concentrated in the Northeastern corridors (Putnam/Westchester NY area and nearby towns) but include a few Florida and national recipients; awards tend to be unrestricted and used for events, program support, or general operating relief. The foundation appears relationship-driven, renewing support to the same organizations over multiple years while also making one-off hardship or community grants.
A defining feature of the Anne Anastasi Charitable Foundation is its repeated support for community institutions tied to public safety, faith, animal welfare, and local services, often through unrestricted grants. In the recent grant record, Kent Fire District Number One in Carmel, New York received multiple awards, including $20,000 in 2023 and additional $10,000 grants in 2024 and 2025. The foundation also gave several grants to CTC Academy Inc in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, including $20,000 in 2023, $10,000 in 2024 and 2025, and support for its 30th Anniversary Gala & Auction in 2025. Its giving shows a preference for practical support to small and mid-sized organizations rather than large, multi-program commitments. Faith-based recipients include the Monastery of St Clare-Franciscan Poor Clare Nuns and Franciscan Friars of the Atonement, while community service recipients include Friends of the Senior Citizens of Putnam County In and St Barnabas Hospital. The foundation also appears comfortable supporting event-based fundraising, anniversary campaigns, and general operating needs across a mix of local nonprofits and regional institutions.
Public safety is a visible theme. The foundation awarded $20,000 to Kent Fire District Number One in Carmel, New York, and $13,000 to the Fire Police Officers Association in Patterson, New York, both as general and unrestricted support. It also funds faith-based ministries and religious communities. Grants include $14,500 to the Monastery of St Clare-Franciscan Poor Clare Nuns in Wappingers Falls, New York, and $11,000 to Franciscan Friars of the Atonement in Garrison, New York, followed by another $10,000 to that same friars’ organization in 2023. Arts and family-serving nonprofit work are another strand. Tompkins Corners Cultural Center Inc in Putnam Valley, New York received $10,000 in 2024 and another $10,000 in 2025 for its Visual Arts Program. CTC Academy Inc in Fair Lawn, New Jersey received support in multiple years, including a 2025 grant tied to its 30th Anniversary Gala & Auction.
Typical grant size is small to mid-sized: the 25th percentile is $2,750, the median is $5,000, and the 75th percentile is $10,000. The recent record shows many grants clustered at $10,000, with a smaller number of larger awards reaching $20,000. The foundation appears relationship-driven rather than purely one-off, since several recipients appear in multiple years, including Kent Fire District Number One, CTC Academy Inc, Tompkins Corners Cultural Center Inc, Young Mens Christian Association of South Florida, and Franciscan Friars of the Atonement. Granting is made in a family foundation style from a private philanthropic vehicle, and the awards are often listed as general and unrestricted.
