The Fay D Carter Charitable Trust makes a small number of moderately sized, unrestricted grants to nonprofits serving children, families and youth development. Grants are evenly distributed across a few distinct organizations each year, supporting general operating needs rather than tightly restricted projects. The foundation appears to favor organizations that provide direct services and opportunities to children and families, including wish-granting, early childhood supports, after-school youth programs, and community legacy/education work.
Concentrated giving to a small number of grantees each year with roughly equal, mid-sized general operating grants; no evidence of many tiny grants or multi-year earmarks in this dataset.
