The Fred & Jean Allegretti Foundation provides financial support to various domestic charitable organizations and institutions that work to improve the lives, minds, health and wellbeing of children, adults, the elderly, animals and those physically challenged. It is our goal to provide a quality of life and dignity through humanitarian support, medical treatment, housing, education and the arts.
A defining feature of the Fred & Jean Allegretti Foundation is its broad support for children, adults, the elderly, animals, and people who are physically challenged, with grants used for humanitarian support, medical treatment, housing, education, and the arts. The foundation also funds individuals, and its recent awards show a mix of operating and project support across community-facing nonprofits. Recent grants point to a practical, direct-service style of giving. Denver Public Schools Foundation received $45,000 for education, while South West Florida Horse Rescue Inc. received $40,000 for animals. The foundation also backed Fundamental Needs Inc. with multiple grants in 2024 and 2025, including $35,000 and $25,000, indicating repeated support for a special-population mission. Canine Companions received several awards as well, including $33,370 and $28,000 in 2025, plus earlier support in 2024. The recent grant list includes organizations serving children, families, people facing health or mobility needs, and animal welfare groups. Named recipients range from school foundations and food banks to charities serving vulnerable populations and humane services. The pattern suggests a donor that mixes higher-dollar awards with many $5,000 to $10,000 grants, using philanthropy to support local and regional service organizations rather than a single narrow cause area.
In education, the foundation gave $45,000 to Denver Public Schools Foundation for education and $27,500 to Afs Intercultural Programs - Colorado Rockies Area Team for education. It also awarded $20,000 to Foundation for Lee County Public Schools Inc. for education, showing a recurring interest in school-related support. For basic needs and family support, Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida received $20,000 in 2025 and another $20,000 in 2023 for family services, while Food Bank of the Rockies received $20,000 in 2023 and two more $20,000 grants in 2025 for basic emergency aid. That mix points to support for food access and immediate assistance. Animal welfare is another clear thread. South West Florida Horse Rescue Inc. received $40,000 for animals, Gulf Coast Humane Society received $27,500, $25,000, and $22,500, and Hartt received multiple awards from $25,000 to $30,000. The foundation also supported St Jude Children's Research Hospital with $20,000 for health.
