The Grace Schulte Foundation concentrates its giving on Catholic education and pediatric health care, favoring institutional operating support. Most dollars go to a small set of repeat grantees—notably a Jesuit university and a Catholic girls' academy—indicating a priority for sustaining faith-based schools and children’s hospitals rather than one-off projects. Grants tend to be unrestricted/general operating support, signaling trust in grantee leadership and a focus on organizational stability.
Concentrated giving with a small number of relatively large, repeat grants primarily for general operating support to a few core institutions
Notable grantees: Creighton University, Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart, Children's Hospital Foundation, Childrens Memorial Hospital Foundation
Grace Schulte Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by repeated general operating support to Creighton University, with grants ranging from $21,651 in 2025 to $53,100 in 2023. That pattern points to a funder that favors steady institutional backing over one-time project awards. The same approach appears in its support for Catholic education and pediatric health care, where the foundation has returned to a small set of organizations across multiple years. Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart appears repeatedly as well, alongside children’s hospital organizations in Omaha and Orange, California. The result is a grantmaking profile built around core support for Catholic higher education, Catholic K–12 schooling, and children’s health institutions. Most of the grants are for general operating purposes, which suggests the foundation is comfortable funding organizational continuity rather than narrowly defined programs. Its recent record shows a concentrated portfolio, with several awards issued to the same recipients year after year.
In Catholic higher education, Grace Schulte Foundation supported Creighton University with three general operating grants in the recent record: $53,100 in 2023, $41,720 in 2024, and $40,557 in 2025. In Catholic K–12 schooling, it gave Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart $26,550 in 2023, $20,860 in 2024, and $20,279 in 2025, again on a general operating basis. Pediatric health care is another clear theme. The foundation awarded Childrens Memorial Hospital Fdn $26,550 in 2023 and Children’s Hospital Foundation $20,860 in 2024, $20,279 in 2025, and $10,825 in Orange, California, in 2025. Across these categories, the pattern is consistent: institution-level support for faith-based education and children’s health providers.
Typical grant size clusters in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $20,860, a median of $26,550, and a p75 of $40,557. The record also shows repetition: the same recipients appear across multiple years, especially Creighton University and Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart, which points to ongoing support rather than isolated awards. The foundation is not a funder of individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its recent grants are overwhelmingly general operating support, indicating a preference for unrestricted institutional funding.
