The Kilbourne EH Res Char Tr–Main primarily funds scholarships, directing all recorded giving to scholarship programs and awards. Grants are large and targeted, often to named scholarship funds or lists of scholarship recipients, suggesting a focus on supporting individuals' education rather than institutions or programs. The foundation appears to operate with a narrow, consistent charitable mission centered on financial aid for students.
Highly concentrated giving: very few grants (3) but large dollar amounts, repeat grants to scholarship-designated recipients and lists of scholarship awards rather than broad program support.
Kilbourne Eh Res Char Tr-main’s recorded giving is dominated by scholarship support, with three six-figure awards at the top of the recent grant list: $252,000 in 2024 and $240,000 in 2025 to See Attached in Taylors, SC, plus $192,000 in 2023 to See Attached for List of Scholarships in Winston Salem, NC. That pattern points to a funder that uses a small number of sizable awards to support education-focused programs and scholarship funds rather than a broad mix of initiatives. Beyond those headline grants, the foundation also appears in recurring support for a cluster of Indiana organizations. Fort Wayne recipients such as the Metropolitan Young Mens Christian Association, YWCA Northeast Indiana Inc, Indiana Institute of Technology, and University of Saint Francis of Fort Wayne each received multiple grants across recent years. The list also includes named scholarship-related or education-linked institutions such as Concordia Educational Association Inc, Indiana Masonic Home Foundation, Junior Achievement of Northern Indiana, and Boy Scouts of America. Across the recent record, the foundation’s giving looks concentrated, repeatable, and closely tied to educational access and affiliated community organizations.
Scholarship funding is the clearest theme in the recent record. Kilbourne Eh Res Char Tr-main gave $252,000 in 2024 and $240,000 in 2025 to See Attached in Taylors, SC, both labeled scholarship. A separate 2023 grant of $192,000 to See Attached for List of Scholarships in Winston Salem, NC shows the same pattern in another year. The foundation also supports higher education institutions and related educational nonprofits in Indiana. It gave $17,063 in 2024 and $16,250 in 2025 to Indiana Institute of Technology in Fort Wayne for general operating support, and $17,063 in 2024 plus $16,250 in 2025 to University of Saint Francis of Fort Wayne for general operating support. Concordia Educational Association Inc received $13,650 in 2024 and $13,000 in 2025, again as general operating support. Community service and youth development appear through grants to the Metropolitan Young Mens Christian Association, YWCA Northeast Indiana Inc, and Boy Scouts of America.
The recorded grant sizes cluster in a fairly tight range outside the scholarship awards: p25 is $5,225, median is $10,238, and p75 is $13,000. That points to many mid-sized grants with a few much larger scholarship commitments. The pattern is also recurring rather than one-off. Several recipients appear in more than one year, including Fort Wayne-area organizations and scholarship-related entities. The foundation is a regular funder, not a donor-advised fund, and it funds individuals as well as organizations. No application process is shown in the provided data.
