About Beagary Charitable Trust
Beagary Charitable Trust focuses its giving on secondary and K–12 education in northeastern Connecticut, providing substantial, targeted support to a small set of local schools. Grants emphasize student enrichment programs and capital/facilities support, and the foundation prefers to make sizable awards to institutions they revisit rather than many small, one-off gifts. Their funding is regionally concentrated and directed mainly at schools that serve the Trust’s local communities.

About Beagary Charitable Trust
Beagary Charitable Trust’s largest recent grants go to Woodstock Academy, including $299,519 in 2023 and $268,000 in 2024 for student enrichment and facilities. That pattern fits a funder that backs a small set of northeastern Connecticut education institutions with meaningful awards rather than broad, high-volume giving. The trust’s grants repeatedly support schools and school-related programs, from general support at Pomfret School to program funding for Killingly Public Schools. It also extends to enrichment and youth-serving work in nearby communities, including a music-focused grant to Brooklyn Public Schools and scholarship support for Plainfield High School. The trust’s grant history shows a strong preference for institutional support and school infrastructure. Some awards are tied to general funds, while others are directed to programs, enrichment, endowments, or capital-related needs. A recurring feature is repeat funding to the same recipients across multiple years, often at substantial levels. The result is a grantmaking profile centered on educational access, student programming, and strengthening local schools and youth-serving institutions in the region.
What Beagary Charitable Trust Funds
Secondary and K–12 education is the clearest throughline in the trust’s grantmaking. Killingly Public Schools received $109,440 in 2024 and $108,940 in 2023 for programs, indicating sustained support for district-based student services. Pomfret School also received a $100,000 general-fund grant in 2024, showing that the trust supports independent schools as well as public systems. Student enrichment appears repeatedly in awards to school partners. Woodstock Academy received large grants for student enrichment and facilities, while Brooklyn Public Schools received $21,500 for an enrichment grant and music program. Plainfield High School was funded at $12,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for scholarship support. Beyond schools, the trust has backed youth-facing educational programming at Mystic Seaport Museum, which received grants for an education outreach program.
How Beagary Charitable Trust Gives
Typical awards cluster at a modest-to-substantial institutional scale: the p25 grant size is $3,250, the median is $9,000, and the p75 is $30,000. The grant list also shows repeated awards to the same organizations in consecutive years, including multiple recipients that return for funding in both 2023 and 2024. That points to a renewal pattern rather than one-time giving. Beagary Charitable Trust is a private charitable trust, and it funds individuals as well as organizations. The recent grants also show use of general funds, program support, endowment support, scholarship funding, and capital-related awards.
