Corey C Griffin Charitable Foundation

About Corey C Griffin Charitable Foundation

A single 2025 grant of $2,638,199 to Lawrence Catholic Academy for a new building, scholarships, and staff bonuses signals how the Corey C Griffin Charitable Foundation combines capital support with recurring aid for youth-serving organizations. The foundation’s giving centers on children and young people in Massachusetts, especially through education, healthcare, mentorship, and workforce-related programs. Its recent grants show a strong preference for Catholic schools, hospital-based family support, and partner organizations serving under-resourced communities in Greater Boston and beyond. The foundation has also given repeated support to Boston Children’s Hospital for program operations and to Campaign for Catholic Schools for scholarships and operating support. Other grants go to organizations working with students, patients’ families, and youth program participants, including school networks, hospitals, and mentoring groups. Across the list, the pattern is not limited to one-time gifts: several recipients appear in multiple years, often with operating support rather than restricted project funding. The result is a grantmaking profile that emphasizes sustained support for institutions serving Massachusetts children and families.

What Corey C Griffin Charitable Foundation Funds

Education is a central thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2025, it gave $295,000 to Campaign for Catholic Schools for scholarships, and it also supported Lawrence Catholic Academy with both scholarship-related and operating grants across multiple years. The Corey C. Griffin Memorial Scholarship Fund adds another education channel through annual scholarships for students at Saint John Paul II Catholic Academy in Dorchester and Mattapan. Healthcare appears through grants tied to pediatric care and patient-family support. Boston Children’s Hospital received $250,000 for Corey Griffin House patient family housing and $200,000 for program operations, while Franciscan Children’s Hospital received grants in 2023 and 2024 for operating support. Mentorship and youth development show up in grants such as $50,000 to Noble and Greenough School for Achieve program support and $80,000 to My Brother’s Keeper for program activities and operations. The foundation also funded Boston Police Activities League and Pal of Massachusetts for operating support.
