About Marriott Daughters Foundation
The Marriott Daughters Foundation makes very large, concentrated grants labeled only as “SEE STATEMENT/Charitable Purposes,” indicating it directs substantial, discretionary funding while keeping recipient details non-public. With just three grants totaling over $16 million, the foundation appears to operate as a family or donor-advised vehicle that provides broad, general-purpose support rather than numerous publicized project-specific awards. Its lack of NTEE detail and anonymous payee labeling suggests emphasis on flexibility and privacy in grantmaking.

Giving Approach
Highly concentrated: very few, very large grants to non-public/undisclosed recipients. Repeat payments use the same "SEE STATEMENT" designation, indicating ongoing support to the same private or pass-through beneficiaries and a preference for privacy over broad, distributed funding.
About Marriott Daughters Foundation
Marriott Daughters Foundation’s recent grant history is dominated by very large, discretionary awards labeled "SEE STATEMENT" and "CHARITABLE PURPOSES," with three grants in the multimillion-dollar range to its Bethesda nonprofit entity. That pattern sits alongside a broader portfolio of invitation-only operating support for nonprofits in a small set of places where the foundation gives most often. The recent grants list also shows a second layer of funding that is more specific: support for hospitals, mental health, food security, and community services in Massachusetts, California, Utah, and Maryland. Among the named recipients, Boston Children’s Hospital Trust received $428,000 for Dr. Mike Rogers Endometriosis Research, while The Film Collaborative received $324,862 for the planning and creation of a documentary on menopause. Other sizable awards went to Newton-Wellesley Hospital for expansion-related work and to Huntsman Mental Health Foundation for hiring a geriatric psychiatrist and geriatric social worker. The foundation’s giving is local in scope, all U.S.-based, and concentrated in a few regional networks rather than spread across many states or countries.
What Marriott Daughters Foundation Funds
Health is a clear theme in the named grants. Boston Children’s Hospital Trust received $428,000 for Dr. Mike Rogers Endometriosis Research, and Rady Children’s Hospital Foundation - San Diego received $97,424 for an endowment for mental health care programs. Huntsman Mental Health Foundation also received $200,000 for the hiring of a geriatric psychiatrist and geriatric social worker. Behavioral health appears across multiple recipients. People’s Health Clinic in Park City received $197,836 for the behavioral health program and $194,096 for the mental health program, while Rosie's Place in Boston received $75,000 for a new behavioral health clinical director’s salary and $70,000 for the food security program. The foundation also funds community facilities and capital projects. Community Resource Center in Encinitas received $122,785 for the capital campaign naming the Food & Nutrition Center reception lobby and $100,000 for freezer and refrigerator storage in the new Food and Nutrition Center.
How Marriott Daughters Foundation Gives
The largest recent awards are just over $5.3 million, with a p25 of $5,436,950, median of $5,491,710, and p75 of $5,525,562. That clustering suggests a very tight band at the top of the foundation’s grant sizes, while the broader public list also includes much smaller awards in the five- and six-figure range. The foundation uses invitation-only annual programs for general operating support, and those programs do not accept unsolicited proposals. Recent entries show repeated funding to the same organizations across different years, including the Bethesda-based charitable-purpose grants and several named nonprofits in 2025, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards.
