About Cardinal Carberry Senior Living Center

About Cardinal Carberry Senior Living Center
Cardinal Carberry Senior Living Center’s recent giving is centered on Catholic-affiliated senior housing in St. Louis, with construction support standing out as a defining thread. The largest grant on file went to Mother of Perpetual Help Residence Inc for construction, and that relationship appears again in a separate construction grant the prior year, suggesting a sustained capital commitment rather than a one-off award. The foundation also backs operating needs for faith-based elder-care residences, including Mary Queen and Mother Association and Our Lady of Life Apartments. Across the grants listed, the pattern is narrow and mission-specific: support for residences, apartment programs, and the infrastructure needed to keep them functioning. The recipient list is local and tightly aligned with senior living, with awards appearing to focus on facilities that serve older adults within a Catholic framework. That combination of construction funding and operating support points to a funder concerned with both building capacity and maintaining daily services for senior housing providers.
What Cardinal Carberry Senior Living Center Funds
A clear priority is construction and expansion of senior housing facilities. In 2024, the foundation gave $1,983,802 to Mother of Perpetual Help Residence Inc for construction, and it had already awarded the same organization $1,596,896 in 2023 for the same purpose. Operational support is another consistent theme. Mary Queen and Mother Association received $825,673 in 2024 and $33,990 in 2023 for operations, indicating support for recurring expenses rather than only capital work. The foundation also made a $5,672 operating grant to Our Lady of Life Apartments in 2024. Taken together, the grants show a focus on maintaining faith-based elder-care residences and apartment programs in St. Louis.
How Cardinal Carberry Senior Living Center Gives
Grant sizes vary widely, from a p25 of $33,990 to a median of $825,673 and a p75 of $1,596,896. That spread reflects a mix of smaller operating awards and much larger construction commitments. The recent record also shows repeat support for the same organizations across multiple years: Mother of Perpetual Help Residence Inc and Mary Queen and Mother Association each appear in both 2023 and 2024. The foundation’s giving is project-restricted and core-support oriented, with construction and operations both represented. The available data does not indicate an application process.
