The Hyer Family Foundation concentrates its giving on Catholic/Jesuit institutions and faith-based social service efforts in the Tampa/Central Florida area. The majority of funds go to Jesuit education (including large, repeated gifts to a local Jesuit high school) and to Catholic organizations that support religious life and family-focused services. Grants are sizable and targeted rather than broadly distributed, indicating donor priorities tied to specific institutions and faith-based missions.
Highly concentrated giving: a few large grants make up total giving, with repeat multi-hundred-thousand-dollar support to the same Jesuit high school and targeted grants to Catholic organizations rather than many small or varied recipients.
Hyer Family Foundation Inc makes some of its largest grants to Jesuit education in Tampa, including a $1.1 million award to Jesuit High School in 2025 and a $436,000 grant to the same school in 2024. That repeated support points to a clear pattern: the foundation backs Catholic and Jesuit institutions with sizeable, targeted gifts rather than broad, diffuse funding. Alongside the high school, it also funded Jesuit Central and Southern Province with $250,000 in 2025, showing interest in both local education and the religious order that supports it. The foundation’s giving also reaches Catholic and faith-based service organizations tied to family support, religious life, and community care. Recent awards include New Life Village, Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalope, Diocese of St Petersburg, and several Tampa-area schools and ministries. Its grants are often restricted or project-specific, with support appearing across education, religious institutions, and social service efforts. The overall pattern is regional, with most grants staying in Florida and many recipients located in the Tampa and St. Petersburg area.
Jesuit secondary education is a central theme in the foundation’s giving. It awarded $170,000 to Academy Prep of Tampa in 2025, after a $150,000 scholarship grant in 2023 and a $70,000 support grant in 2024. Tampa Catholic High School also received $29,690 in 2024, and Jesuit High School received additional support in 2023. Catholic infrastructure and religious life are another clear focus. The foundation gave $125,000 to Diocese of St Petersburg in 2024 and another $25,000 in 2025. It also awarded $100,000 to University of Notre Dame in 2025 and $25,000 in 2023 for scholarship support. Family and residential support programs appear as well. New Life Village received $250,000 in 2025, while Life Choices in Tampa received $25,000 in 2023.
Hyer Family Foundation Inc gives at a relatively high median level: the typical grant size is $21,000 at the 25th percentile, $29,690 at the median, and $100,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent grants list shows repeated support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially Jesuit High School, Academy Prep of Tampa, Academy of the Holy Names, and the Sisters of St Thomas Acquinas. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation is not a DAF and makes grants directly; it also funds individuals, with scholarship and student-support grants appearing in the record.
