The Anthony and Anna L Carozza Foundation focuses its modest giving exclusively on supporting a single Washington, D.C. girls' school. All documented grants (three totaling $40,000) went to The Washington School for Girls for student/graduate support and capital campaign needs, indicating a targeted, relationship-driven philanthropy centered on female K–12 education in the District. The foundation appears to prioritize direct impact at one longstanding partner rather than broad-based community funding.
Anthony and Anna L Carozza Foundation’s giving is defined by one long-running relationship: The Washington School for Girls received the foundation’s two largest recent grants, each at $15,000 in 2024 and 2025, for the Graduate Support Program and the Building Dreams Capital Campaign. That pattern shows a funder focused on a single girls’ school and on support that extends beyond classroom instruction into graduate services and facilities funding. The foundation’s documented grants also reach related school and student support work in Washington, D.C. and nearby Maryland, including tuition aid, capital needs, and services for young women, mothers, and children. Across the recent record, the foundation appears to favor direct, practical support for institutions serving students and families rather than broad programmatic portfolios. Its grants connect education with housing, family stabilization, and basic needs, especially in Washington, D.C. The mix suggests a relationship-based grantmaker that stays close to a small set of aligned organizations and recurring needs.
A central theme is independent girls’ education in Washington, D.C. The foundation gave $15,000 in 2025 to The Washington School for Girls for the Graduate Support Program and the Building Dreams Capital Campaign, after a matching $15,000 grant in 2024 for the same purposes. Student tuition support is another consistent thread: Washington Jesuit Academy received $9,000 in 2023 for its student tuition fund and another $9,000 the same year for students, while Bishop John T Walker School for Boys received $6,250 in 2025 for its scholarship fund. The foundation also supports services for vulnerable women and families. St Anns Center for Children Youth and Families received $7,500 in 2025 for transitional housing programs and the mothers at Hope House and Faith House, following earlier support for its programs and life skills training. House of Ruth received grants for general support, supportive permanent housing, and Kidspace.
Typical grants are clustered tightly around a small-dollar core: p25 is $3,750, median is $5,000, and p75 is $5,000. That distribution points to a pattern of repeated mid-sized gifts with occasional larger commitments. The recent record also shows recurrence: The Washington School for Girls, St Anns Center for Children Youth and Families, House of Ruth, The Training Source Inc, and Bishop John T Walker School for Boys each appear in multiple years. The foundation is not a program-related-investment maker, and the provided data identifies it as a funder that gives to individuals as well as organizations. The recent grant list does not show an application process, so the pattern is best read as relationship-driven and selective rather than open-call grantmaking.
