The foundation concentrates its giving on youth-focused community outreach and local health/community medical support, favoring faith-based or youth development programs. Most dollars flow to a handful of organizations with multiple grants rather than many small, one-off gifts, indicating a preference for deep support of select partners.
Annette M Williams Charitable Foundation C/o Wilfrid C Lemann gives repeated, sizable support to a small set of youth, health, and faith-centered organizations rather than spreading its dollars widely. The clearest pattern is multi-year funding for Eastern Ottawa Young Life, which received $80,000 in 2023 and $90,000 in both 2024 and 2025 for youth and community outreach. Another recurring beneficiary is Dignity Health Foundation, which appears across several years for medical and community outreach, including a $153,000 grant in 2025 and a $95,000 grant in 2024. The foundation also backs community-facing partners such as Switchfoot Bro-am Foundation and Mission Edge-switchfoot Bro-am Foundation for youth community outreach, along with schools, ministries, and local service organizations. Its portfolio shows a preference for direct program support tied to children and youth, community health, education, and spiritual or religious outreach. Grant sizes in the recent list range from smaller $20,000 gifts to six-figure support for select medical and outreach partners, suggesting concentrated support for organizations it funds more than once.
Youth development is a consistent theme. Eastern Ottawa Young Life received $80,000 in 2023 and $90,000 in each of 2024 and 2025 for youth/community outreach, while Hand to Hand received $20,000 in 2023 and again in 2024 for youth/community outreach. Education and school-linked giving is also present: Yucaipa High School received $50,000 in 2023 and $49,995 in 2025 for educational and athletic outreach, and Aquinas High School received $35,000 in 2023 and $30,000 in 2024 for educational outreach. The foundation also supports community medical and public health outreach through Dignity Health Foundation, including grants for medical/community outreach, and it extends to spiritual and religious community services through Cru - University of Michigan and Abide Ministries.
The recent grant list shows a typical grant size of $2,000 at the 25th percentile, $5,000 at the median, and $10,000 at the 75th percentile, even though several larger project grants appear in the top recent gifts. The pattern is relationship-based: multiple recipients appear in consecutive years, including Eastern Ottawa Young Life, Dignity Health Foundation, Abide Ministries, Cru - University of Michigan, Georgetown Harmony Homes, Hand to Hand, and Starlite Shores Family Camp. The foundation is a private charitable foundation, not an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments. The grant record suggests direct support for operating or program needs rather than one-off experimentation.
