The Burgess Florance E Tua foundation concentrates sizable, repeat gifts to national faith-based and humanitarian organizations, with a strong preference for Catholic institutions, emergency relief, and child-focused services. Their top grants are large and evenly distributed among a handful of recurring beneficiaries (religious bodies, major health charities, and youth services), indicating a stable, mission-driven portfolio rather than broad exploratory giving.
Concentrated, high-dollar grants to a small set of repeat national grantees; multiple equal-sized payments suggest multi-year or installment funding commitments focused on established faith-based and humanitarian organizations.
Burgess Florance E Tua makes repeated, fixed-size grants to a small circle of national faith-based, humanitarian, and child-serving organizations. In the latest filing year, the foundation gave equal grants of $83,571 to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Father Flanagan's Boys Home, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, The Salvation Army, the American Red Cross, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, and Catholic Relief Services. That pattern shows a portfolio built around Catholic institutions, emergency response, and child welfare rather than a broad open-ended mix of causes. The foundation's recent giving also includes general operating and general support awards to organizations with long-running public-facing missions. Among the recurring beneficiaries are Catholic Relief Services in Baltimore, the American Red Cross in Washington, DC, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. Boys Town appears as well, suggesting continued support for residential youth services. Across the recent grants list, the same organizations recur in consecutive years with nearly identical amounts. That consistency points to a stable grantmaking approach centered on unrestricted support for established institutions. The result is a clear pattern of mission-aligned giving to national nonprofits serving religious communities, families, children, and emergency relief needs.
One clear theme is Catholic institutional support. Burgess Florance E Tua gave $83,571 in 2024 to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception for general support, and it also granted $83,571 to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles for general operating support. In the earlier year, the foundation backed the same mix of Catholic entities, including Catholic Relief Services and a cemetery-related organization. Emergency relief is another recurring area. The foundation gave $83,571 to the American Red Cross and the same amount to The Salvation Army a California Corp in 2024. Those awards were mirrored by prior-year grants at the $80,714 level to the American Red Cross and The Salvation Army. Child and youth services are also present. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital received general support in both recent years, and Father Flanagan's Boys Home received the same level of support in 2024 and 2023. Those grants place pediatric care and residential youth services within the foundation's regular funding pattern.
