The D'Angelo Foundation concentrates its philanthropic dollars on faith-based education and direct Catholic social services, making very large, targeted awards rather than many small grants. Its largest single gift ($2.5M) to St. John’s University indicates a priority for supporting Catholic higher education institutions, while a significant grant to Catholic Charities shows interest in Catholic-led programs that provide direct aid to people in need.
D'angelo Foundation’s single largest recent grant was a $2.5 million award to St John's University for education, a signal that Catholic higher education sits at the center of its giving. The foundation also made a $500,000 grant to Catholic Charities for providing help for people in need, showing that its philanthropy extends beyond campuses to direct Catholic social services. Across its recent awards, the pattern is highly targeted: large institutional gifts are paired with a smaller set of grants to schools, hospitals, anti-poverty groups, and housing organizations, mostly in New York. That mix points to a funder that backs faith-based institutions while also supporting practical services for vulnerable people. Education appears often, but not as a broad scholarship strategy alone; it shows up through universities, secondary schools, and scholarship funds tied to Catholic communities. The foundation also gave to medical and humanitarian organizations, including cancer-focused institutions and agencies serving families, which suggests a preference for established nonprofits with clear program or capital needs rather than many unrestricted small awards.
Catholic education is the most visible theme. The foundation gave $200,000 to Sacred Heart Academy for education and $100,000 to Chaminade Development Fund to support a science and technology center, linking its giving to Catholic schools and institutional facilities. It also supported other education bodies such as Inner-city Scholarship Fund, Queens College Foundation, Boston College, and Tomorrow's Hope Foundation. Direct service is another clear area. D'angelo Foundation awarded $150,000 to Interfaith Nutrition Network for general support and $50,000 to Robin Hood Foundation for economic assistance for the poor. Housing and family stability also appear in the record: Providence House received $10,000 for providing housing for women and children, and Habitat for Humanity - NYC received $125,000 for general support. Medical and hospital-related work is present too, including grants to St Francis Hospital Foundation, Memorial Sloan-kettering Cancer Center, and Hospital for Special Surgery.
Recent giving is dominated by very large awards at the top of the range, led by a $2.5 million grant and a $500,000 grant, with most other gifts clustering from $5,000 to $200,000. The median grant size in the listed recent awards is $25,000, while the upper quartile is $100,000, showing a pattern of a few major institutional commitments alongside a long tail of smaller support. The foundation is a private foundation and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The recent list shows repeated support within the same year rather than multiple years of overlap, so these grants read as one-off awards in the available data.

Very concentrated giving: only two large grants (one dominant grant of $2.5M and one substantial $500K gift). Prefers few, high-dollar awards to established Catholic institutions rather than broad, small-scale funding. Likely strategic, institutional-level support rather than many new or small grantees.
Notable grantees: St. John’s University, Catholic Charities
Giving is tightly concentrated in New York: 100% of the listed grants went to recipients in the HQ state, and the foundation gives most often in NJ only as a geographic definition of grantmaking pattern. Recipient locations cluster in several New York places, especially New York City, Hempstead, Hicksville, Mineola, Roslyn, Garden City, Melville, Uniondale, and Brooklyn. Outside New York, the recent list includes Stamford, New Haven, Chestnut Hill, Washington, DC, and Jamaica, NY-based grantees, but all recipients are still US organizations.
The recent grants point to Catholic higher education, Catholic charitable services, schools, hospitals, and human-service nonprofits. Examples in the list include a $2.5 million grant to St John's University for education, a $500,000 grant to Catholic Charities for providing help for people in need, and additional support for hospitals, housing, and poverty-relief groups.
The distribution is weighted toward large institutional gifts, with a median grant size of $25,000 and an upper quartile of $100,000 in the listed awards. The recent range runs from $5,000 to $2.5 million, with two especially large grants far above the rest.
In the recent grant list, every recipient is in the US, and all grants went to organizations in New York or to US organizations outside New York such as Stamford, New Haven, Chestnut Hill, Washington, DC, and Jamaica, NY. The listed recipient-country distribution is entirely US.
Recent awards cover education, economic assistance, humanitarian aid, housing for women and children, children’s social services, medical research and patient care, and support for science and technology centers. Named grants include support for Sacred Heart Academy, Robin Hood Foundation, Providence House, Memorial Sloan-kettering Cancer Center, and Chaminade Development Fund.
The available grant list shows a single year of recent awards, all from 2025. That makes the record look like a set of one-off grants within the year rather than a multi-year recurring pattern in the data provided.
