This foundation is highly focused on health care, concentrating its resources on hospitals and cancer support organizations. With only six grants totaling nearly $2.9M, the foundation makes large, general-purpose gifts to a small number of medical institutions rather than broad community philanthropy. Repeated multi-grant support for the same recipients suggests long-term relationships with core health-sector partners.
Concentrated, large grants to a small set of repeat health-sector grantees; funds are sizable and general-purpose rather than many small or targeted awards.
Mary Delahanty Clapham Charitable Tr’s recent giving is defined by repeated, large general-purpose support to a small set of health-related institutions. The largest grant in the file went to Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, and the same medical center received another award in each of the next two years, showing a multi-year relationship rather than one-off project funding. Cancer support is another core thread: Cancer Care Inc received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, alongside other cancer-focused organizations such as Blessed Margarets Cancer Relief Relief Fund Inc and St Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The pattern is highly concentrated and institutional. Grants are made as general support, with amounts that place the foundation in a substantial funding tier for the recipients it chooses. Alongside hospitals and cancer-service organizations, the portfolio includes groups connected to broader health and patient support, such as the Arthritis Foundation and American Heart Association. The result is a philanthropy that appears to favor operating flexibility for a limited number of established nonprofits, especially in the medical and disease-support space.
Health care is the clearest throughline in the grant record. In hospital operating support, Mary Delahanty Clapham Charitable Tr gave $731,111 to Lahey Hospital & Medical Center in 2023, then continued that relationship with additional general grants in 2024 and 2025. Cancer patient support is another major area. The foundation awarded $292,444 to Cancer Care Inc in 2023, followed by additional general grants in 2024 and 2025, indicating steady support for cancer services. It also backed Blessed Margarets Cancer Relief Relief Fund Inc with three consecutive annual grants. Beyond cancer, the foundation supported related health-serving organizations: the Arthritis Foundation received general grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and the American Heart Association appears in the recent grant list as well. These awards point to a medical and patient-services focus rather than a broad charitable portfolio.
The foundation’s grant sizes are sizable and fairly tight around six figures: the 25th percentile is $67,889, the median is $101,834, and the 75th percentile is $146,222. The recent record also shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, especially in health care and disease support. All grants in the data are general-purpose. Mary Delahanty Clapham Charitable Tr does not fund individuals and is not shown making program-related investments.
