The John and Elizabeth Endicott Foundation concentrates its giving in a small number of relatively large unrestricted/support grants, with a single grantee (Brett/Brent Boyer Foundation) receiving the majority of funds. Its portfolio mixes health and medical causes, higher education, and local conservation/animal-education organizations, suggesting both regional interest in Southern California institutions and support for select national health charities. The foundation appears to favor direct support (labeled “SUPPORT”) rather than program-specific funding.
A single intermediary recipient dominates the John and Elizabeth Endicott Foundation’s recent grantmaking: the Brent Boyer Foundation received multiple support grants in 2023 and 2024, including a $150,000 award and several $100,000 and $40,200 awards. That pattern points to a foundation that often uses large unrestricted support grants rather than tightly program-restricted awards. Alongside that repeat funding, the foundation also backs institutions tied to health care, higher education, and community-serving organizations. Recent support went to AtlantiCare Foundation, Stockton University, St Judes, The Living Desert, and local Palm Desert nonprofits, showing a mix of national charities and organizations with Southern California ties. The foundation’s giving also extends to select regional and national causes, including children’s services, medical ministries, and conservation education. The portfolio is concentrated rather than broad, with a small number of grantees receiving repeated support over multiple years.
Health and medical support is a clear thread. In 2024, the foundation gave $100,000 to AtlantiCare Foundation for support, and it also awarded $53,795 to St Judes for support. Pediatric and family-oriented charities appear in other recent gifts as well, including $9,912 to Variety Childrens Charity and $5,000 to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Higher education is another recurring area: Stockton University received $56,500 in 2023 and additional $15,000 grants in both 2023 and 2024. The foundation also supports regional conservation and education work through The Living Desert, with grants of $34,000 in 2024 and $11,000 in 2023. Community organizations in Palm Desert and Indian Wells also appear, including Boys & Girls Club, Mama's House, The Joslyn Center, and Womens Leadership Forum.
Typical grants are modest relative to the largest awards, with a p25 of $3,875, a median of $6,000, and a p75 of $23,075. The distribution is wide because the foundation mixes many smaller support grants with a few very large ones, including six-figure awards. The same grantees appear across multiple years, especially Stockton University, The Living Desert, Variety Childrens Charity, Medical Ministries of the Americas, and Womens Leadership Forum, which suggests renewal-oriented support. The foundation gives through a private family foundation structure and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grant language is consistently “SUPPORT,” indicating a preference for general operating or unrestricted institutional backing.

Yes. Stockton University appears repeatedly in 2023 and 2024, The Living Desert received support in both 2023 and 2024, and Variety Childrens Charity and Medical Ministries of the Americas also appear more than once in the recent grants list. That points to renewal-focused giving.
