The Bolduc Schuster Family Foundation concentrates philanthropic support in New England, especially Western Connecticut and adjacent Massachusetts, with a clear emphasis on faith-based education, Catholic institutions, and community-serving health and youth organizations. Grants tend to be sizable, general-purpose gifts that sustain operating needs for schools, parishes, a regional hospital, and nonprofit youth/family services. The foundation repeatedly funds a small set of regional institutions, signaling long-term relationships with both secular and religious community anchors.
A $1.1 million grant to Hope for Youth and Families Inc in Longmeadow, Massachusetts stands out in the Bolduc Schuster Family Foundation’s recent giving. That gift sits within a pattern of large, general-use support for regional institutions rather than project-restricted grants. The foundation’s recent recipients include Baystate Health Inc in Springfield, Sacred Heart Parish in Boston, College of Our Lady of the Elms in Chicopee, and Bay Path University in Longmeadow, showing a mix of health care, Catholic organizations, and education across New England. Religious institutions appear alongside schools, hospitals, and youth-serving nonprofits, with current-use support recurring across the recent grants list. Several grantees also repeat over multiple years, including Baystate Health Inc, College of Our Lady of the Elms, Friends of Libertas Academy Charter School Inc, Bay Path University, and Sacred Heart Parish. The result is a grantmaking profile built around ongoing operating support for organizations that serve families, students, parish communities, and regional patients.
Faith-based education is a clear theme in the foundation’s recent grants. It gave $150,000 in 2024 and $51,000 in 2025 to College of Our Lady of the Elms in Chicopee, plus $95,000 to Trustees of Westminster School Inc in Simsbury, and $15,000 to American International College in Springfield. Catholic parish support is another visible strand: Sacred Heart Parish in Boston received $200,000 in 2025 and $10,000 in 2024, while the (foundation of the Roman Catholic) Diocese of Springfield Mass Inc received $15,000 in 2024. Health care also appears through Baystate Health Inc, which received multiple $320,000 grants. Youth and family services are present in the $1.1 million grant to Hope for Youth and Families Inc and the $56,500 grant to Christina's House Inc in Springfield.
Typical grant sizes cluster around a median of $10,000, with the 25th percentile at $4,500 and the 75th percentile at $45,000. The recent list also includes several much larger gifts, which suggests a two-tier pattern: frequent mid-range support and occasional major operating grants. Recipients appear across more than one year, including Baystate Health Inc, College of Our Lady of the Elms, Friends of Libertas Academy Charter School Inc, Bay Path University, and Sacred Heart Parish. Grants are described as current use for general charitable purposes, indicating flexible support rather than restricted project funding. The foundation is a private family foundation and does not fund individuals.
