The Aubert J Fay Charitable Fund gives exclusively to local medical care, directing all recorded support to Lowell General Hospital. Its giving is highly place-based and healthcare-focused, indicating a mission to sustain community hospital services in Lowell, MA. The foundation appears to prioritize direct operational or program support for a single, established local healthcare provider.
Aubert J Fay Charitable Fund’s largest recorded recent gifts all stayed in Lowell and were directed to local health care providers: $60,000 to Lowell General Hospital in 2025 and $50,000 in 2024, alongside $35,000 to Lowell Community Health Center in 2025. That pattern points to a funder centered on sustaining medical care close to home rather than spreading support across many regions or sectors. The fund also shows a steady relationship with a small set of Lowell organizations across multiple years. Lowell General Hospital and Lowell Community Health Center recur at the top of the list, while D'Youville Senior Care, Merrimack Reperatory Theatre, Project Learn, Girls Inc, and Greater Lowell Community Foundation each appear in more than one grant year. Most gifts are in the $4,000 to $7,750 range, with occasional larger awards for established local institutions. The result is a grant profile built around repeat support for community providers, especially those serving health, education, and neighborhood needs in Lowell, MA.
Health care dominates the grant record, but the funder also backs a wider set of local services in Lowell. In acute care, Lowell Community Health Center received $35,000 in 2025 and $25,000 in 2024 for medical care. D'Youville Senior Care was awarded $25,000 in 2025 and $20,000 in 2024 for medical care and medical facility support. The fund also supports youth and family-serving organizations. Lowell Catholic High School received $12,000 in 2025 and $12,000 in 2024 for youth education, while Girls Inc received $10,000 in 2025 and $9,000 in 2024 for youth activities. Community support appears as well through Merrimack Valley Food Bank, which received $8,000 in 2025 for community food distribution, and St Vincent de Paul Society, which received $9,000 in 2025 for assistance for the needy.
Typical grants are small-to-mid sized, with a p25 of $4,000, a median of $6,000, and a p75 of $7,750. Even so, the fund sometimes makes much larger awards to long-standing local institutions, such as the $60,000 and $50,000 grants to Lowell General Hospital. The record also shows repeat support across years for several recipients, including Lowell Community Health Center, D'Youville Senior Care, Merrimack Reperatory Theatre, Project Learn, Girls Inc, Greater Lowell Community Foundation, First United Baptist Church, and St Vincent de Paul Society. The fund does not give to individuals and does not make program-related investments.
