    About Kate Marmion Charitable Foundation

    The Kate Marmion Charitable Foundation directs relatively large, targeted gifts to community-serving organizations largely in Texas, with an emphasis on local healthcare, youth services, community arts, and faith-based programming. Grants are few but sizable, frequently supporting institutions that provide direct community benefit (hospital auxiliary, youth clubs, camps) and statewide civic infrastructure. The foundation appears to prioritize practical, place-based impact in South and Central Texas rather than broad national grantmaking.

    Focus Areas

    Rural and small-town hospital support / community healthcare in Texas (e.g., Uvalde Memorial Hospital Auxiliary)Youth development and after-school/summer programming in South Texas (e.g., Boys & Girls Club of Laredo)Faith-based summer camps and Christian youth ministry (e.g., Alto Frio Baptist Camp)Community arts organizations with local public programming (e.g., National Western Art Foundation)Statewide volunteer infrastructure and disaster/community resilience (e.g., OneStar Foundation)

    About Kate Marmion Charitable Foundation

    A $15 million grant to the UCISD Moving Forward Foundation stands out in the Kate Marmion Charitable Foundation’s recent record and signals how the funder uses unusually large, targeted gifts to support local civic and educational infrastructure. The foundation’s recent awards are concentrated in Texas and often support organizations that serve children, families, health care, culture, and community life in South Texas. Its portfolio includes major support for El Progreso Memorial Library in Uvalde, Christus Children's Foundation in San Antonio, and the National Western Art Foundation, showing a mix of place-based community benefit and programming tied to Southwestern culture and the arts. The foundation also backs institutions that anchor local service networks, including hospital-related and educational organizations, alongside youth-serving nonprofits and camps. Several of the largest gifts go to organizations in Uvalde, San Antonio, Austin, and Laredo, suggesting a pattern of funding that is both locally focused and institutionally significant. Rather than a broad national approach, the foundation uses restricted grants to reinforce organizations with direct public-serving roles in the communities it prioritizes.

    What Kate Marmion Charitable Foundation Funds

    Children’s interests and youth programming are central to the Kate Marmion Charitable Foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $350,000 to Boys and Girls Club of Laredo Inc for community support, and $200,000 to Children’s Bereavement Center in Uvalde. The foundation also supported Avance with a $150,000 grant in San Antonio. Health care is another clear theme. The foundation awarded $500,000 to Uvalde Memorial Hospital Auxiliary in Uvalde and $2 million to Christus Children's Foundation in San Antonio, indicating support for both local hospital-related work and pediatric health care. Its cultural and educational interests appear in grants such as $7,226,000 to UT Briscoe Center in Austin and $375,000 to Humanities Texas in Austin. Those awards align with the foundation’s stated interest in Southwestern history, culture, art, and literature.

    How Kate Marmion Charitable Foundation Gives

    The foundation’s typical grant size is $20,525 at the 25th percentile, $45,000 at the median, and $189,330 at the 75th percentile, but its recent awards include much larger commitments. Its grantmaking is restricted and the active programs accept letters of inquiry, including unsolicited LOIs. The record also shows repeat support to some recipients across multiple years: Uvalde Memorial Hospital Auxiliary received $500,000 in both 2023 and 2025, and The Onestar Foundation received $500,000 in 2023. That pattern points to recurring support for selected organizations rather than one-time-only giving.
