The Hitchcock Bowart Daterra Foundation concentrates funding into a small number of mid-sized grants, favoring repeat and multi-year support for arts/service infrastructure and botanical conservation. Their giving mixes national arts-support organizations with specialized plant conservation groups, suggesting personal or family interests in both cultural infrastructure and preserving medicinal/native plants. A portion of giving flows through or back into related family philanthropic vehicles and fiscal sponsors.
Concentrated portfolio with relatively few, mid-to-large grants; several repeat grantees and use of fiscal-sponsor channels/family foundation vehicles rather than many small, one-off gifts.
A $66,675 general-support grant to Hitchcock Bowart Daterra Family Foundati On is the largest recent award in the record, and it points to a funder that moves money through a small number of comparatively large commitments. Hitchcock Bowart Daterra Foundation also shows a clear pattern of repeat support: The Field Center received grants in three consecutive years, while Fractured Atlas appears multiple times across 2023 to 2025. That combination suggests a funder that favors continuity over one-off gifts. The foundation’s giving reaches both arts/service infrastructure and botanical conservation. On the arts side, Fractured Atlas stands out as a recurring recipient of general support. On the conservation side, United Plant Savers and Panax receive support tied to plant preservation. The mix is notable because it ties cultural infrastructure and medicinal or native plant work into one grantmaking profile. A third thread runs through organizations acting as fiscal sponsors or field-based intermediaries, including The Field Center and Tides Foundation. Several grants are labeled general, general support, or general operating, which reinforces the impression that the foundation often supports organizational capacity rather than narrowly defined projects.
Botanical and medicinal plant conservation is one of the clearest themes in the record. The foundation gave $65,000 to United Plant Savers c/o Susan Leopold for general support in 2023, then followed with $11,100 in 2024 to the same recipient. In 2025, Panax received $52,000 for general operating. Arts infrastructure is another recurring area. Fractured Atlas received $45,000 in 2025 for general support, after earlier grants of $25,100 in 2023 and $24,500 in 2024. The pattern points to sustained backing for a national arts-services platform rather than a single program. Community-serving organizations also appear in the portfolio. Be Present, based in Stone Mountain, Georgia, received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, while Tucson-based Audit USA received support in three separate years. Those repeated awards suggest the foundation maintains ongoing relationships with selected organizations.
Typical grants are small on paper but uneven in practice: the p25 is $100, the median is $100, and the p75 is $600, while a few much larger awards carry the overall annual total. The record also shows repeat funding over multiple years, especially for The Field Center, Fractured Atlas, Be Present, and Audit USA. Most listed awards are labeled general support, general operating, or general. The foundation is a private foundation rather than a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
