The Lannon Stone Foundation concentrates its entire recent giving on supporting a Catholic college-preparatory school’s capital expansion and associated scholarship fundraising. Its sole recorded grant funded the conversion and rehabilitation of a former university campus to become a new campus for St. Augustine Preparatory Academy and supported the school’s annual scholarship gala paddle raise. This indicates a philanthropic focus on faith-based secondary education infrastructure and student aid.
Lannon Stone Foundation Inc’s recent giving is defined by a single large commitment to St Augustine Preparatory Academy Inc: $2,025,000 for the conversion and rehabilitation of the former Cardinal Stritch University campus into the school’s eventual north campus, along with support for the 2023 annual scholarship gala paddle. That grant sets the tone for a foundation that directs its resources toward Catholic and faith-based secondary education, campus rehabilitation, and student aid. The rest of the recent record reinforces that pattern. In 2025, the foundation also supported St Augustine Preparatory Academy Inc again with $27,833 tied to the 2024 paddle raise. Other gifts went to schools and education-related organizations in Milwaukee and nearby communities, including Nativity Jesuit Academy, Lutheran High School Association of Greater Milwaukee, St Marcus School, University School of Milwaukee, and City Forward Collective Inc. Alongside school support, the foundation gave to groups connected to civic and child-focused work, including Bridge Builders, Wisconsin Independent Charter School Advocates, and Reclaim13. The overall picture is of a local funder that concentrates on education infrastructure, scholarship fundraising, and nearby community organizations rather than broad, diversified grantmaking.
Education is the clearest theme in the foundation’s recent grants. It gave $100,000 to Nativity Jesuit Academy in Milwaukee, $100,000 to Lutheran High School Association of Greater Milwaukee in West Allis, and $50,000 to St Marcus School in Milwaukee. Its support also reaches school choice and civic-education intermediaries. In 2025, the foundation awarded $40,000 to Wisconsin Independent Charter School Advocates in Lake Mills, $40,000 to Institute for Reforming Government Inc in Delafield, $40,000 to Greater Milwaukee Committee in Milwaukee, and $40,000 to Wisconsin Policy Forum Inc in Milwaukee. A separate stream of giving touches community and family services. The foundation donated $25,000 to Milwaukee Rescue Mission in Milwaukee and $27,775 to Reclaim13 in Lombard, Illinois, indicating some support beyond school-based grantmaking while still staying close to local and child-centered organizations.
The typical grant size is modest, with a p25 of $4,312, a median of $6,150, and a p75 of $21,875. The recent record also includes an outsized capital grant of $2,025,000, showing that the foundation can pair small and mid-sized awards with one much larger project commitment. Grantmaking appears to recur across years and sometimes to the same recipients; Bridge Builders, Nativity Jesuit Academy, Reclaim13, and Lutheran High School Association of Greater Milwaukee each appear more than once in the recent list. The foundation funds individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. The grant list shows donation language as well as grant awards, suggesting a mix of restricted project support and broader charitable gifts.
