The Gay D. and William F. Scott Family Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on Catholic institutions and education, primarily funding dioceses, Catholic K–12 schools, and related religious orders, with some support for regional higher education. Most grants are large, general-purpose gifts to a small set of organizations—many based in southeast Texas—indicating a preference for sustaining faith-based education and diocesan operations rather than project-specific funding.
The Gay D and William F Scott Family Foundation’s giving is centered on Catholic institutions in southeast Texas, with Beaumont appearing repeatedly across its recent grants. The largest recent award in the dataset is $206,000 to Lamar University Foundation, and the foundation also made six-figure support to Monsignor Kelly Catholic High School and the Diocese of Beaumont. That pattern points to steady support for Catholic education and diocesan operations rather than short-term project funding. Recent grants also show a wider circle of faith-based and community organizations in the same regional network. St Anne Catholic School received multiple gifts, including $96,581 in 2023, $62,744 in 2024, and $34,482 in 2025, while Catholic Charities of Southeast Texas appears with repeat support as well. The foundation’s portfolio includes Catholic parishes, a cathedral basilica, and a Catholic high school, suggesting a strong institutional emphasis across the local church and school system. Outside that core, the foundation has also backed selected civic and service organizations such as Boy Scouts of America, Julie Rogers Gift of Life, and the Nature Conservancy, but those grants are fewer in number than the Catholic awards that define the pattern.
Catholic education is one of the clearest strands in the foundation’s recent grant history. Monsignor Kelly Catholic High School received $115,010 in 2025, $29,070 in 2024, and $27,500 in 2023, showing repeated support over several years. St Anne Catholic School also appears multiple times, with grants of $96,581 in 2023, $62,744 in 2024, and $34,482 in 2025. Church and diocesan support is another recurring area. The Diocese of Beaumont received $105,500 in 2024 and $50,000 in 2025, while St Anthony Cathedral Basilica in Beaumont received $25,500 in 2024 and St Anne Catholic Church received $20,500 in 2025. The foundation also supported the Bishops Faith Appeal Archdiocese of Beaumont in both 2023 and 2024. A smaller set of gifts went to service and civic organizations, including Boy Scouts of America, Catholic Charities of Southeast Texas, and Julie Rogers Gift of Life.
Typical grants are modest to mid-sized, with a p25 of $1,000, a median of $10,000, and a p75 of $26,000. The recent record shows both one-off and repeated support: several organizations appear in multiple years, including St Anne Catholic School, Monsignor Kelly Catholic High School, the Diocese of Beaumont, and Catholic Charities of Southeast Texas. That points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. The foundation is a family foundation, and the grants shown are generally general charitable gifts, including some unrestricted gifts. No application process is described in the provided data.

Concentrated giving: a small number of relatively large, general-purpose grants to faith-based and education institutions, with some repeat support to the same schools; geographically focused in southeast Texas despite a Delaware foundation address.
Notable grantees: Lamar University Foundation, St. Anne Catholic School, Monsignor Kelly Catholic High School, Diocese of Beaumont, Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre
All recent grants in the dataset went to U.S. recipients, and the foundation gives most often in Texas. Beaumont dominates the map of recipient locations, with multiple grants to organizations there across schools, diocesan entities, and service groups. Houston appears through the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre, Austin through the Nature Conservancy and Austin Smiles, and Alpine through Borderlands Research Foundation. The foundation’s grants also do not appear in Delaware, despite its headquarters there.
Its recent grants concentrate on Catholic institutions, especially dioceses, Catholic K–12 schools, and church-related organizations in Beaumont and nearby Texas communities. The record also includes selected support for a university foundation and a few civic or service groups.
