The Gary Broad Foundation makes recurring, mid-size grants across a mix of animal welfare, youth services/education and local health services, with a strong Southern California geographic focus (San Diego, Palm Springs/Coachella) and occasional national/international conservation or scholarship gifts. They favor mission-focused nonprofits—animal rescues, therapeutic/horseriding programs, youth clubs and scholarship funds—often supporting program operations, therapeutic services, and basic human needs like food and senior meals. Their giving profile blends local community nonprofits with a few larger conservation and university gifts.
Recurring $40,000 grants make the Gary Broad Foundation’s pattern easy to recognize: the foundation repeatedly backs a small set of Southern California nonprofits and returns to them across multiple years. Animal Samaritans Spca in Thousand Palms received $40,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, while Boys & Girls Club of Coachella in Palm Desert received the same amount in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That repeat behavior points to ongoing support rather than one-off awards. The foundation’s recent giving also shows a strong mix of animal welfare, youth programs, health services, and scholarship support. It funds direct-service organizations and program-specific needs, including shelter and rescue work, children’s activities, hospital and medical services, and college scholarship support. Larger recent grants include $50,000 to San Diego Food Bank for meals and $40,000 to World Wildlife Fund for conservation and sustainability. The Gary Broad Foundation also supports a few institutions outside its Southern California core, including the University of Hawai'i Foundation and national organizations such as ASPCA. Across the recent grants list, the same recipients appear multiple times, which suggests a steady grantmaking rhythm centered on repeat partners.
In animal welfare, the foundation gave $40,000 to Animal Samaritans Spca for animal welfare and $30,000 to Muttville for senior dog rescue. It also supported Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue with a $30,000 grant for animal welfare. Youth development is another clear line of giving. Boys & Girls Club of Coachella received $40,000 for children’s educational and sports activities and programs, and Windward School received $40,000 for high school support. The foundation also funds basic needs and health services. San Diego Food Bank received $50,000 for support for the hungry by providing meals, while Eisenhower Medical Center received $35,000 for hospital and medical services. Scholarship and education support appears through the Edwin J Gregson Foundation, which received $30,000 for college scholarships and aspiring college students through scholarships.
Typical grants cluster tightly around a mid-size band: the 25th percentile is $20,000, and both the median and 75th percentile are $30,000. Recent awards also show repeated $40,000 and $35,000 grants, alongside a smaller number of $50,000 gifts. The pattern is recurring rather than episodic. Animal Samaritans Spca, Boys & Girls Club of Coachella, Windward School, Eisenhower Medical Center, and University of Hawai'i Foundation each appear in multiple years. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments, which aligns with a straightforward grantmaking model rather than hybrid finance.

Concentrated, repeat support: most top grantees receive multiple (often three) gifts indicating multi‑year or recurring funding relationships. Grants are mid‑sized and distributed across a diversified portfolio—balanced between many local community nonprofits and a smaller number of larger national/international recipients. Funding emphasizes program support and service delivery rather than one‑off capital projects.
Notable grantees: Helen Woodward Animal Center, Muttville (senior dog rescue), Boys & Girls Club of Coachella, Edwin J. Gregson Foundation (scholarships), Eisenhower Medical Center
