The Lee Ann and Steven Van Amburgh Foundation makes a small number of relatively large, targeted gifts—mainly to institutions in the Dallas area—focused on faith-based congregational support and health-care philanthropy. One sizable disbursement labeled for “various qualifying charities” suggests they also use pass-through or donor-advised mechanisms to fund additional causes. Their giving is pragmatic and institutional rather than broad-based grassroots funding.
Concentrated giving: few, relatively large grants (two ~$50k gifts and one ~$96k pass-through), mix of direct institutional support and donor-advised/pass-through distributions; appears locally focused and not broadly diversified.
A $96,005 grant to Tst Impreso - Various Qualifying Charities points to how the Lee Ann and Steven Van Amburgh Foundation often works: through targeted, flexible gifts that can move to multiple charitable purposes at once. The foundation’s recent record shows a mix of faith-based institutions, health-care philanthropy, and Dallas-area community organizations, with general support as the common thread. A $50,000 gift to Baylor Scott and White Foundation and a separate $50,000 grant to Highland Park Presbyterian Church show the scale of support it can direct to established institutions. Other gifts reach local schools, churches, and service providers rather than broad, open-ended issue portfolios. The pattern is pragmatic and institution-centered, with many awards sized at levels that can strengthen operating budgets, fund programs, or support core capacity. While Dallas organizations appear repeatedly, the foundation also extends selected grants to other Texas communities and a small number of out-of-state recipients. Across the available record, its giving is concentrated, locally oriented, and shaped by general-support grants rather than restricted project funding.
Faith-based giving is a visible part of the portfolio. The foundation awarded $50,000 to Highland Park Presbyterian Church for general support and gave $27,700 to Cornerstone Baptist Church of Dallas for general support, indicating support for congregational programming and church operations. Health and care services also receive attention: Baylor Scott and White Foundation received $25,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2025, both marked general support. Beyond those anchors, the foundation backed community-facing service organizations such as Union Gospel Mission in Fort Worth at $20,000 and The Magdalen House in Dallas at $12,000. It also supported education-related groups, including Highland Park Education Foundation at $26,000 and Cristo Rey Dallas High School at $10,000, showing a portfolio that blends churches, health care, social services, and schools.
Typical grants are modest in the context of the foundation’s annual giving, with a p25 of $2,625, a median of $5,000, and a p75 of $10,000. The recent record also includes occasional larger awards, which suggests a small number of higher-dollar gifts alongside a broader base of mid-sized support. The grants shown are almost entirely general support. The listed recipient set includes repeated support to some organizations across multiple years, including Baylor Scott and White Foundation, 24 Hour Club, and Care. The foundation funds individuals is false, and it makes no program-related investments. The pattern is institutional and flexible rather than application-driven or grassroots.
