About Hagan Trust
The Hagan Trust concentrates its giving locally in Missouri, with the vast majority of funds directed to two repeat beneficiaries: a scholarship program for college students and a regional food bank. Grants are provided as general/unrestricted support, indicating a preference for bolstering operating capacity of established local nonprofits rather than funding specific projects. The foundation’s priorities are practical and community-focused—supporting education access through scholarships and addressing food insecurity in central and northeast Missouri.

About Hagan Trust
Hagan Trust’s recent giving is anchored by a single institutional relationship: the Hagan Scholarship Foundation received the largest grants in each of the three latest years, including $769,893 in 2023, $700,785 in 2024, and $684,035 in 2025. That pattern shows a trust that sustains a long-running education effort rather than making scattered project grants. The trust also backs a regional food bank with similarly repeated support, pairing college access with food security in Missouri. Beyond those two anchor relationships, the trust uses general funding to support established local nonprofits. Grants in the recent file include the Central Missouri Humane Society, Boone County Historical Society, State Historical Society of Missouri, Boys and Girls Clubs of Columbia, Rainbow House, and The Salvation Army. The grant descriptions consistently use general funding language, which points to flexible support for operating needs rather than restricted project awards. Across the available grants, the picture is of a local Missouri funder with a small circle of recurring beneficiaries and a practical emphasis on sustaining community institutions.
What Hagan Trust Funds
Education is the clearest program area in the recent grants. The trust gave $684,035 in 2025 to the Hagan Scholarship Foundation for general funding, continuing multiyear support for a scholarship program that helps college students. Food security is the other major theme: The Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri received $250,000 in 2025 for general funding, matching earlier awards in 2023 and 2024. The trust also supports community-serving nonprofits outside those two core areas. In 2024, it gave $100,000 to the Central Missouri Humane Society for general funding, followed by $15,000 in 2025. Cultural and civic organizations appear as well, including $15,000 awards to the State Historical Society of Missouri and the Boone County Historical Society. Youth and family services are represented by Boys and Girls Clubs of Columbia, Rainbow House, and The Salvation Army, each receiving general support.
How Hagan Trust Gives
The typical grant size is tightly clustered at the low end, with p25 and median both at $15,000 and p75 at $212,500. That spread reflects a pattern of a few large recurring institutional grants alongside many smaller general-support awards. The trust appears to favor repeat recipients: the Hagan Scholarship Foundation and The Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri received support in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Grant descriptions across the file are labeled general funding or general support, suggesting unrestricted support for operating capacity rather than project-specific awards. The foundation gives locally and does not fund individuals or program-related investments.
