The Annunziata Sanguinetti Foundation concentrates its giving on local human-service organizations that serve children, families and people with disabilities, with an emphasis on operating support. Grants repeatedly support services for people who are blind or visually impaired, therapeutic equestrian programs for special-needs participants, and family/child welfare agencies in the St. Louis area. The foundation prefers core, unrestricted funding to a small set of mission-aligned nonprofits rather than one-off project grants.
Annunziata Sanguinetti Foundation gives repeatedly to a small group of California nonprofits serving children, families, and people with disabilities, with general operating support at the center of its pattern. One of the clearest threads is visual impairment services: Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired received $60,000 in 2024, $50,000 in 2023, and $50,000 in 2025 for general operating support. The foundation also backs family and child-welfare providers, including Wayfinder Family Services, which received $30,000 in 2025 and $25,000 in 2024. Another recurring area is therapeutic equestrian programming for disabled participants; Giant Steps Therapeutic Equestrian Center Inc received $30,000 in both 2024 and 2025, including youth programming support in 2024. Grants also reach organizations serving children and teens through services such as dental care, peer support, and residential care. Across the recent grant list, the foundation favors operating support over restricted project funding and appears to maintain long-term relationships with a limited set of mission-aligned grantees.
For services to people who are blind or visually impaired, Annunziata Sanguinetti Foundation gave $50,000 in 2025 to Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired for general operating support. In family preservation and child welfare, it awarded $30,000 in 2025 to Wayfinder Family Services for general operating support. The foundation also supports therapeutic and youth-centered programs: Giant Steps Therapeutic Equestrian Center Inc received $30,000 in 2025 for general operating support, after a $30,000 grant in 2024 for youth programming. Support for children and families with disabilities shows up in grants such as $25,000 in 2025 to Support for Families of Children With Disabilities for general operating support and $15,000 in 2024 to Bay Area Friendship Circle for general operating support.
Typical grants cluster in a narrow band: the 25th percentile is $15,000, the median is $20,000, and the 75th percentile is $25,000. The foundation is a regular funder rather than a DAF, and the recent record shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, including multi-year support for several grantees. General operating support is the dominant grant type, with some general support and a smaller number of program-specific awards. The pattern is relationship-based rather than one-off project funding.
