The Clarence & Almeda Conrad Foundation concentrates its giving on community health and basic needs, with large, targeted gifts to food banks and healthcare institutions. Grants are few but substantial, supporting hunger relief, hospital/health system programmatic funding (education/outreach), and medical research. The foundation appears to prioritize organizations that deliver direct services to local communities and high-impact clinical research institutions.
The largest recent grant in the record went to Roadrunner Food Bank for $150,000, and that pattern points to a foundation that favors substantial, targeted gifts for direct community needs. Clarence & Almeda Conrad Foundation Inc. also backed Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation with $80,000 for education, showing that its support extends beyond hunger relief into health-related community programs. The grant list suggests a small number of awards, each at a meaningful size, rather than broad dispersal across many recipients. The foundation’s giving also reaches medical research and education. It awarded $25,000 to MD Anderson Cancer Center for medical research and education, alongside smaller grants to organizations connected with science, education, and outreach. That mix places basic needs, healthcare, and research in the same funding profile. Recipients appear in New Mexico, Texas, Massachusetts, and Arizona, but the strongest presence is in New Mexico. Across the available record, Clarence & Almeda Conrad Foundation Inc. appears to fund organizations that deliver direct services, health programming, and institutional support.
Community hunger relief is a clear theme. Clarence & Almeda Conrad Foundation Inc. gave $150,000 to Roadrunner Food Bank for a food bank grant, indicating priority for organizations that address basic needs directly. Health and hospital-related education is another area of support. The foundation awarded $80,000 to Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation for education, and that sits alongside a $25,000 grant to MD Anderson Cancer Center for medical research and education. Together, those awards show an interest in health systems, patient- or community-facing education, and research-linked institutions. Its smaller grants also reach science and education settings. The foundation gave $15,000 to Arboretum at Flagstaff for education and $10,000 to Southwest Autism Research Resource for science and education, suggesting support for learning-oriented work outside the hospital and food security sectors.
The grant size pattern is flat: p25, median, and p75 are all $150,000. That indicates the foundation makes a small number of sizeable grants rather than a wide spread of award sizes. The recent record includes awards from 2024 and 2025, so the pattern appears active across multiple years. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments, which points to institutional grantmaking only. In the available grants, recipient locations are concentrated in the Southwest and a few national research settings.
