The Egan Family Foundation concentrates its giving on a small set of organizations, prioritizing student scholarships and local faith-based social services, with additional support for cancer-related community assistance. Grants are sizable relative to count and often repeat to the same recipients, indicating a preference for sustained relationships with a few mission-aligned partners in and around Green Bay, WI.
Concentrated portfolio: few, relatively large grants with repeat funding to established grantees rather than many small one-time gifts; roughly split between education scholarships and religious/social service organizations.
Student scholarship support is the clearest thread in Little Rapids Corporation - Egan Family Foundation Inc’s recent giving. The foundation has made repeated grants to Scholarship America, including $35,500 in 2023, $31,000 in 2024, and $30,000 in 2025, which makes education a visible anchor in its portfolio. Another sustained relationship is with Gateway Collectivest John's Ministries in Green Bay, which received $33,333 in both 2024 and 2025 for general appeal support. Those larger recurring grants sit alongside a broader mix of local charitable support across Northeast Wisconsin, especially organizations tied to human services, youth development, and community needs. The foundation’s recent grant list shows a preference for recurring support to a relatively small set of organizations rather than one-time gifts spread widely. Alongside scholarship funding, its grants include local faith-based homeless and social services, breast cancer support, and community-based assistance in and around Green Bay and Shawano. The pattern suggests a family foundation that uses multiple-year grants to sustain mission-aligned nonprofits serving local residents over time.
Education is a major part of the foundation’s recent activity. It gave $35,500 in 2023, $31,000 in 2024, and $30,000 in 2025 to Scholarship America for scholarship awards. In health and human services, it supported Gateway Collectivest John's Ministries with two $33,333 general-appeal grants in 2024 and 2025, reflecting continued support for faith-based homeless and social services in Green Bay. Cancer-related community assistance also appears in the record: Pink Ribbon Girls received $30,000 in 2023 for general appeal support. The foundation also funds local civic and youth-oriented work, including grants to Shawano Area Fire Dept, Baird Creek Preservation Foundation, and the Einstein Project, each tied to community benefit rather than a single narrow program.
The median recent grant is $5,000, with a lower quartile of $4,900 and an upper quartile of $10,000, while the larger awards are concentrated in a few repeated relationships. Recent giving shows recurring support rather than one-off transactions: Scholarship America appears in three consecutive years, and Gateway Collectivest John's Ministries appears in both 2024 and 2025. The foundation is a private family foundation, and its grant programs are described as accepting unsolicited requests. It also funds individuals, which is unusual among private foundations but consistent with its scholarship activity.
