The trust concentrates its giving on a small number of large, unrestricted grants split between national disease-focused health charities and its local Presbyterian congregation. Over the period covered it made equal-sized contributions to the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and First Presbyterian Church, indicating a dual interest in major health nonprofits (disease research/awareness and patient support) and local religious institution support.
Doris a Mackinnon Charitable Trust Xxxxx1004 gives the same general-purpose grant to three recipients across multiple years: American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, and First Presbyterian Church. That pattern points to a small, concentrated trust that divides support between national disease-focused charities and a local Presbyterian congregation. In the latest 990 year on file, the trust reported annual grants of $201,627 against total assets of $1,343,611, with grant amounts clustered in the low-$20,000 range. The recipient list shows a consistent structure rather than a broad portfolio: the trust made unrestricted gifts to organizations tied to cardiovascular disease, cancer support and awareness, and congregational operating support. The heart and cancer charities appear as recurring beneficiaries in 2023, 2024, and 2025, while the church also appears each year in the recent-grants table. Chicago is the foundation’s headquarters, and the trust’s giving footprint extends beyond that city through recipients in Tulsa and Oklahoma City. The overall pattern is straightforward and repeatable, with limited name count and repeated support to the same organizations.
One clear thread in the trust’s giving is health philanthropy. It gave $23,007 in 2023, $21,618 in 2024, and $22,584 in 2025 to American Heart Association for general support, alongside the same three-year pattern to American Cancer Society. Those grants connect the trust to cardiovascular disease advocacy and research, as well as cancer research, patient services, and public awareness. A second thread is congregational support: First Presbyterian Church received general grants of $23,007 in 2023, $21,618 in 2024, and $22,584 in 2025. The repeated use of general-purpose grants suggests support that is not tied to a narrow project budget. Across the recent grants list, the trust’s focus areas are stable and limited to these three institutions and the causes they represent.
Grant size is tightly grouped. Across the recent grants listed, the p25 is $21,618, the median is $22,584, and the p75 is $23,007. The trust’s recent activity also shows renewal-style giving: the same three recipients appear in 2023, 2024, and 2025, each receiving general grants in each year. That makes the portfolio highly concentrated rather than broad. The trust appears to operate as a grantmaking trust rather than an operating charity, with annual grants of $201,627 and total assets of $1,343,611 on the latest 990 year on file. No program-related investments are reported, and the trust does not fund individuals.

Highly concentrated: three large, equal-sized gifts that represent the entirety of giving; repeat/regular support to a very small set of grantees rather than many small grants.
Notable grantees: American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, First Presbyterian Church
The grant map is almost entirely U.S.-based, with 9 of 9 grants going to U.S. recipients. Chicago appears in the recipient list through American Heart Association, while Oklahoma City appears through American Cancer Society and Tulsa through First Presbyterian Church. By count, Oklahoma is the top state for recipient location, while Illinois accounts for 33% of grants.
