The Kenneth A Hall and Patricia A Hall Charitable Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on a single beneficiary: Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters. All recorded giving supports pediatric hospital services and related program or financial needs, indicating a strong, focused commitment to children's healthcare in their community. The foundation appears to be a dedicated local supporter rather than a broad-based grantmaker.
Highly concentrated giving: a small number of large grants, all directed to a single repeat grantee (three grants totaling $2.32M), indicating a long-term, targeted partnership with one flagship institution rather than distributed or exploratory funding.
Kenneth a Hall and Patricia a Hall Charitable Foundation shows a clear pattern of concentrated support for Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters, including an $820,000 grant in 2025 and $750,000 grants in both 2023 and 2024. That repeated support signals a funder that backs the same institution over time rather than rotating across a wide set of causes. Alongside pediatric hospital support, the foundation’s recent giving also includes substantial gifts to Christopher Newport University, Old Dominion University, and Mariners’ Museum, suggesting a local portfolio that mixes health, education, and civic institutions. The amounts recorded in the recent grants list range from small five-figure awards to major six-figure commitments, with many grants described simply as providing financial support. Several grants are tied to scholarship, food assistance, and youth services, including Tidewater Community College scholarship support and Seton Youth Shelters. The foundation’s giving pattern points to a community-centered grantmaker with deep, repeated ties to organizations in the Norfolk and greater Hampton Roads area.
Pediatric healthcare is the clearest theme in the foundation’s recent grants. Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters received $820,000 in 2025, following $750,000 grants in 2023 and 2024, all described as financial support. Education is another visible area: Christopher Newport University received $300,000 in 2024 and $200,000 in 2025, while Old Dominion University received $260,000 in 2025 and $200,000 grants in both 2023 and 2024. The foundation also supports scholarship activity through Kenneth a Hall Scholarship - Tcc and Tidewater Community College - Kenneth a Hall Scholarship, with grants of $150,000 in 2025 and $150,000 in 2024, plus a $50,000 grant in 2023. Community-serving institutions appear as well, including Southeastern Food Bank, which received $150,000 in 2025 and $50,000 in 2023.
Typical grant sizes cluster in the middle five figures, with a p25 of $10,000, a median of $30,000, and a p75 of $50,000. The recent record also includes much larger awards, including several six-figure gifts. The same organizations appear across multiple years, especially Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters, Old Dominion University, Norfolk Botanical Garden, Virginia Zoo, Nauticus Foundation, Virginia Peninsula Foodbank, and Military Aviation Museum, which suggests recurring support rather than one-time giving. The foundation is a private charitable foundation and does not fund individuals or program-related investments. Grants in the dataset are described as financial support rather than tied to an application process.
