The Anne C & Joseph A Slicker Foundation focuses on a mix of health/medical funding and spiritual/faith-based initiatives, with additional support for education and environmental/alternative-wellness organizations. Grants skew toward mission-driven nonprofits (medical research and patient-support groups, meditation and contemplative centers, and Episcopal congregations and schools) and often include repeated multi-year gifts to the same organizations. Their giving profile blends conventional medical philanthropy (children's cancer, Parkinson’s) with sustained support for contemplative spirituality and local faith-based education in the Dallas area and beyond.
Moderately concentrated: dozens of relatively small-to-medium grants with frequent repeat support to a core set of grantees (multiple 2–3x awards). Funding mixes targeted multi-year or episodic commitments rather than very large single grants, and spans both local faith-based recipients and national health/research organizations.
A recurring pattern defines Anne C & Joseph a Slicker Foundation’s grantmaking: the same recipient organizations reappear across multiple years, often with flat, mission-based awards of $5,000 to $15,000. That continuity shows up across medical causes and contemplative spirituality alike. Wipe Out Kids Cancer received $15,000 in 2023, another $15,000 in 2024, and $15,000 again in 2025, while Tibetan Center Compassion & Wisdom received $10,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation also backs organizations tied to Parkinson’s support and voice therapy, including Parkinson's Recovery Project and Parkinson Voice Project, alongside churches and schools in the Episcopal tradition. Its giving reflects a mix of charitable priorities rather than a single program area. Medical and patient-support organizations sit next to meditation centers, faith communities, and education-related groups. In Dallas, the foundation has supported Educational First Steps, Planned Parenthood, and St Michael All Angels Episcopal Church, while grants also reach California, New York, Michigan, and Hawaii. The pattern suggests a funder that repeatedly returns to organizations aligned with health, spiritual practice, and local community service.
In pediatric cancer support, the foundation gave $15,000 to Wipe Out Kids Cancer for furtherance of exempt purposes in both 2024 and 2025, after a $15,000 grant in 2023. It also backed University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center with $10,000 in 2024. For Parkinson’s-related work, grants went to Parkinson's Recovery Project in Santa Cruz, including $15,000 in 2025 and $10,000 in 2024, and to Parkinson Voice Project in Richardson, Texas for $5,000 in 2024. Spiritual and contemplative organizations are another clear theme. Natural Wakefulness Center in New York received $10,000 in both 2023 and 2024, and Self Enquiry Life Fellowship in Santa Barbara received $5,000 in 2024 after a $5,000 gift in 2023. The foundation also supported Ananda Los Angeles in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Typical grants cluster in a modest band: the 25th percentile is $2,500, the median is $5,000, and the 75th percentile is $10,000. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. Grants are broad-purpose in form, with purposes described as furtherance of exempt purposes or exempt purpose support. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
