The B Corry and Donna J McFarland Foundation concentrates relatively large gifts on local community enrichment, direct services for people in need, and religious congregations, while also supporting select international relief organizations. Their portfolio blends civic/cultural projects (notably automotive heritage and community bakery initiatives) with frontline social services—homeless assistance, job training/food security, scholarships, and humanitarian aid. They appear to favor a small number of sizeable grants and repeat funding relationships alongside occasional support for national/international NGOs.
The B Corry and Donna J Mcfarland Foundation has made repeated large grants to America’s Automotive Trust, including $452,600 in 2023, $250,000 in 2024, and $357,490 in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that supports ongoing community enrichment projects rather than only one-time awards. Across its recent grants, the foundation also backs homelessness services, faith-based congregational work, food security, scholarships, and humanitarian relief. Its largest recent grants show a mix of local and wider-scope commitments. The Tacoma Rescue Mission received $325,000 in 2025 for assistance to the homeless, while The Womens Bakery received $315,000 in 2025 for community enrichment. Other substantial awards went to Myriad USA, Claremont McKenna College, FareStart, and Marine View Presbyterian. The portfolio includes both direct-service organizations and institutions connected to education, worship, and community programs. The foundation’s giving is shaped by relatively sizeable grants and by repeat support for selected recipients. That combination appears alongside occasional grants to national and international aid organizations, with all recent grants going to U.S. recipients.
Community enrichment is a major thread in the foundation’s portfolio. America’s Automotive Trust received multiple awards for that purpose, including $357,490 in 2025 and $250,000 in 2024. The foundation also supported The Womens Bakery with $315,000 in 2025 for community enrichment, showing that this category extends beyond a single local institution. In homelessness services, the foundation gave $325,000 in 2025 to The Tacoma Rescue Mission for assistance to the homeless, and it also made a $10,000 grant in 2024 for the same purpose. Food security and workforce support appear together in a $100,000 2025 grant to FareStart for job training and food security. Education and family support are also present. Claremont McKenna College received $100,000 in 2025 to provide scholarships, and Hands for Peace Making Foundation received $20,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2025 for supporting families in need.
Typical grant sizes cluster in the low five figures: p25 is $5,000, the median is $12,500, and p75 is $20,000. The portfolio also includes several much larger awards, so the distribution is tilted by a small set of sizable grants. Repeat funding is common: America’s Automotive Trust, Marine View Presbyterian, King Baudouin Foundation US, The Tacoma Rescue Mission, American Red Cross, and Hands for Peace Making Foundation all appear more than once across recent years. The foundation does not make grants to individuals and does not make program-related investments.
