The Mary Jane and Carl Panattoni Charitable Foundation directs almost all of its documented giving to the University of California, San Francisco, indicating a strong, targeted interest in supporting a major academic medical center. Its gifts are very large and appear aimed at advancing UCSF’s medical, research, and clinical missions rather than a broad portfolio of nonprofits. The foundation’s giving is highly concentrated and institution-specific, suggesting an emphasis on transformational support for one flagship beneficiary.
Highly concentrated: two very large grants (effectively to the same institution) rather than diversified giving; repeat or split payments to a single flagship grantee indicating preference for transformational, institution-level support.
Mary Jane and Carl Panattoni Charitable’s documented giving is anchored by two near-equal, multiyear program-support grants to University of California San Francisco entities: $4,170,424 in 2025 to University of California San Francisco Foundation and $4,166,667 in 2024 to UCSF Foundation. That pairing points to a funder concentrated on one major academic medical center, with gifts structured for institutional support rather than a dispersed nonprofit portfolio. The foundation’s recent grants also show selective support beyond UCSF, including five- and six-figure awards to organizations in Palm Beach, New York, and California. Within that pattern, the largest non-UCSF gifts include $150,000 to Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach and $125,000 to Ellis Island Honors Society Inc. The mix suggests a grantmaker that makes large, targeted commitments to a small set of beneficiaries, with the bulk of its visible activity centered on UCSF and the remainder directed to a limited number of community, cultural, and health-related organizations.
At the center of the portfolio is translational biomedical research and clinical support at UCSF, reflected in $4,170,424 to University of California San Francisco Foundation in 2025 and $4,166,667 to UCSF Foundation in 2024, both for program support. Outside the medical center, the foundation has backed children’s and family-serving organizations in Palm Beach County, including $100,000 to Boys and Girls Club of Palm Beach County Inc in 2024 and another $100,000 to Boys and Girls Clubs of Palm Beach Country Inc in 2025. Health-related research also appears in gifts such as $75,000 to Max Planck Florida Institute in 2024 and $50,000 to Alzheimers Drug Discovery Foundation in 2025. The grant list also includes cultural and civic support, such as $25,000 to Music Associates of Aspen Inc in 2025 and $25,000 to The Society of the Four Arts in 2024.
Typical grants cluster in the five-figure range: the p25 is $10,000, median is $15,000, and p75 is $25,000. The documented pattern is highly concentrated, with repeated support to the same major recipient across years, especially UCSF-related entities in 2024 and 2025. Most awards are program support or support for purpose, indicating restricted or mission-aligned funding rather than unrestricted one-off checks. The foundation is a private charitable foundation and does not fund individuals or program-related investments.
