The Bomgaars Family Foundation concentrates its giving into a small number of sizable awards, primarily supporting faith-linked international medical work in Haiti and local emergency shelter services. Most dollars have gone to Haiti Health Ministries across multiple grants, with a single significant local gift to The Warming Shelter in Sioux City, indicating a mix of international humanitarian health support and community-level homelessness relief. The foundation appears to favor direct donations rather than many small grants, and it supports repeat grantees.
Highly concentrated giving: few, relatively large unrestricted donations; repeat funding to a primary international grantee and occasional large local community grants.
Bomgaars Family Foundation’s recent giving shows a clear split between faith-linked health work in Haiti and emergency homelessness relief in Sioux City. The largest recurring award in the record is a series of donations to Haiti Health Ministries, including $55,000 in both 2024 and 2025 and $50,000 in 2023. That pattern points to sustained support for international medical services rather than one-off project grants. On the local side, the foundation made a $50,000 donation to The Warming Shelter Inc in Sioux City in 2025, alongside other shelter and soup-kitchen support in the same community. The grant record suggests a funder that backs a small set of core partners with relatively substantial awards. It also extends beyond those two main lanes into food access, youth services, and community institutions across Iowa and neighboring states. In practice, the foundation’s philanthropy combines direct aid for people experiencing homelessness with support for faith-based medical missions serving rural Haitian communities.
In faith-based medical missions, Bomgaars Family Foundation gave $55,000 in 2025 to Haiti Health Ministries for donation support, matching the same amount in 2024 and following a $50,000 grant in 2023. That repeated pattern makes Haiti the clearest long-running theme in the record. For emergency shelter work, the foundation gave $50,000 in 2025 to The Warming Shelter Inc in Sioux City, followed by additional shelter-related support to Crittention Emergency Shelter and Hope Street of Siouxland. It also backed food access through grants to Food Bank of Siouxland Inc and Siouxland Community Soup Kitchen. Beyond housing and food assistance, the foundation supported community-serving organizations such as Le Mars Community Daycare Center Inc and the Kossuth County Fairgrounds, showing a broader interest in local civic and family-oriented services.
Typical grants cluster in a fairly tight band: p25 is $5,000, the median is $6,000, and p75 is $9,250. Even with that middle range, the foundation also makes larger, concentrated donations to a small number of core recipients. The record shows repeat support across multiple years for several organizations, including Haiti Health Ministries, The Warming Shelter Inc, Siouxland Community Soup Kitchen, Northeast Community College Foundation, and Youth Receration Inc. All grants in the dataset are donations, and the foundation does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
