The Maureen and Michael Mcinerney Charitable Foundation concentrates its modest giving almost exclusively on children's welfare, channeling all recorded grants to a single recipient. Their support appears targeted and consistent, favoring one organization that delivers services for children and youth—likely in their local community. This suggests a focused, relationship-driven approach rather than broad philanthropic diversification.
Highly concentrated: all recorded funding went to one repeat grantee across three grants (totaling $70,000), indicating sustained, relationship-based support rather than many small, diverse gifts.
Maureen and Michael Mcinerney Charitable Foundation Inc makes repeated, concentrated grants to organizations serving children, with one recipient standing out across multiple years. The largest recorded awards went to The Loughlin Foundation, including $25,000 in 2025 and $25,000 in 2024, both labeled for children’s welfare. That pattern sits alongside a smaller portfolio of child-focused grants rather than a broad thematic spread. Across the recent grants list, the foundation also backed St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, St Marys Hospital for Children, and Fresh Air Fund, showing an emphasis on direct support for child welfare, special needs services, and children’s programs. The grant history suggests a relationship-based approach, with several recipients appearing in more than one year and the same general purpose repeated across awards. The foundation’s activity is modest in total volume, but the individual grants are often meaningful within a narrow set of child-serving organizations. The recurring use of purpose statements tied to welfare, special needs, summer programming, and pediatric cancer support shows a clear preference for practical program support over broader institutional giving.
Child welfare is the clearest theme in the recent grants. The foundation gave $20,000 in 2023 to The Loughlin Foundation to promote the welfare of children, then followed with $25,000 in both 2024 and 2025 for children’s welfare. It also supported St Francis College with $2,500 in 2025 and $1,500 in 2023 for the welfare of children. Beyond general child welfare, the foundation funded healthcare-related support for children with serious conditions. St Marys Hospital for Children received $6,000 in 2025 for children with special needs, plus $5,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for the welfare of children with special needs. The foundation also backed pediatric cancer support through The Ashley Lauren Foundation, with grants in 2023 and 2024 for easing the journey of pediatric cancer patients. Recreation and enrichment appear as well: Fresh Air Fund received $3,000 in 2025 and earlier grants in 2023 and 2024 for children’s summer programs.
Typical grant sizes are small to mid-sized, with a p25 of $1,000, a median of $2,250, and a p75 of $5,000. The recent record shows repeat giving to the same organizations across multiple years, including multi-year support for several child-serving nonprofits rather than one-off awards only. That pattern aligns with a narrow, relationship-driven grantmaking style. The foundation is a private charitable foundation and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The available record also shows grants are made within a regional scope.

New York is the top state by grant count, with recipients in Brooklyn, Bayside, Memphis, and New York City appearing repeatedly in the record. New Jersey is also present, with grants to organizations in Belmar and Spring Lake.

The foundation gives to child-serving nonprofits and institutions. Recent grants include support for children’s welfare, children with special needs, pediatric cancer patients, children’s summer programs, and autistic programs.
