The Loquercio Family Foundation concentrates its giving on scholarship support for faith-based and military-related causes. Its sizable gifts are directed to a local Catholic parish scholarship fund and to the Navy SEAL Foundation, indicating a preference for Catholic parish education and veteran/military family assistance. The foundation makes a small number of large, targeted awards rather than numerous small grants.
Concentrated giving: few (3) large grants totaling ~$379K, with repeat support to at least one national veteran nonprofit (Navy SEAL Foundation) and a major single gift to a local Catholic parish.
A single scholarship award of $229,290 to Saint Ignatius Catholic Church stands out in the Loquercio Family Foundation’s recent giving and points to a pattern of large, restricted support for faith-based education. The foundation also backed the Navy Seals Foundation with $100,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2024, showing repeated support for military-related scholarship assistance. Across the grant list, the same scholarship label appears on gifts to Catholic schools, parish programs, and veteran-serving organizations, which suggests a focused portfolio rather than broad discretionary grantmaking. The foundation’s recent awards include both very large commitments and a long tail of smaller scholarships, from five-figure grants to $200 and $250 awards. That mix places emphasis on direct financial aid for students and scholarship recipients, with recipients ranging from Chicago-area Catholic institutions to national military and family-support organizations. In practice, the foundation’s giving reflects a narrow set of causes tied to faith-based education and military service, with the largest dollars concentrated in a few named grantees rather than spread across many sectors.
Faith-based education is a core theme. The foundation gave $17,900 to The Frances Xavier Warde School for scholarship support, $10,000 to Saint Ignatius College Prep for scholarship support, and $10,000 to Sacred Heart School for scholarship support. Parish-linked education also appears in the largest grant to Saint Ignatius Catholic Church for scholarship support. Military and veteran-related assistance is another clear area. The Navy Seals Foundation received $100,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2024, both marked scholarship, and the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation received $10,000 for scholarship support. The foundation also made smaller scholarship grants to the National Special Forces Association and Catholic Charities USA, indicating that scholarship funding reaches both direct service groups and organizations tied to military families or Catholic social service.
The typical grant profile is small on the low end and concentrated at the top: p25 is $500, median is $1,000, and p75 is $10,000. That spread fits a structure with a few very large awards and many modest scholarships. The same recipients can appear in multiple years, as seen in the Navy Seals Foundation and Jesse White Foundation entries, which points to recurring support rather than one-time-only giving. The grant list also shows direct, earmarked awards labeled scholarship, including to individuals’ support pathways and institutional scholarship funds. The foundation funds individuals and uses restricted support rather than program-related investments.

Chicago is the main recipient city, appearing across Catholic schools, parish programs, and community groups.
