    About Mcphee Foundation

    The McPhee Foundation appears to make very concentrated, high-dollar gifts rather than many small grants: in this reporting period all $517,000 was delivered in two grants listed only as 'SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE.' Because recipient names and purposes are undisclosed in the summary, the foundation’s specific issue areas aren’t explicit, but its pattern suggests support for one or a very small number of beneficiaries—likely a capital campaign, endowment, scholarship vehicle, or a major program-specific award.

    Focus Areas

    Giving Approach

    About Mcphee Foundation

    Mcphee Foundation Inc. made two 2023 grants of $258,500 each, both listed only as "See Attached Schedule." That pattern points to highly concentrated giving rather than a broad grant portfolio. The foundation’s public record shows all of its recent grant dollars going to recipients in Connecticut, and its typical award size matches those two large grants exactly. The foundation’s stated grant programs are broad in topic, but the recent record does not identify the specific recipients or purposes behind the schedule entries. What is clear is the scale: $517,000 in annual grants against $1,678,930 in assets, with funding directed through a small number of large awards. Its grant programs describe support for Connecticut nonprofit organizations working in community services, health, education, arts and culture, human services, youth services, hunger relief, housing, and disability or disease support. The public application materials call for organizational documents, project narratives, budgets, and financial statements, indicating a formal review process for nonprofit applicants. The combination of annual cycles and high-dollar awards suggests a foundation that uses a structured, local grantmaking model centered on major program or institutional support.

    What Mcphee Foundation Funds

    The clearest thematic signal is Connecticut community grantmaking across a broad set of nonprofit needs. The foundation’s annual programs name community services, health, education, arts and culture, and human services as core areas for support. Its published program descriptions also point to more specialized issue areas. One annual cycle includes children and family services, hunger and food security, housing, and disability and disease support, while another lists youth services among its focus areas. That makes the foundation relevant to organizations working on basic needs and local service delivery as well as education and culture. The application requirements reinforce that these are structured nonprofit grants. Applicants are asked to submit a board list, IRS tax exemption letter, project narrative, organization history, itemized budget, and audited financial statements. Across the programs, the common thread is support for Connecticut-based nonprofit work serving community needs.

    How Mcphee Foundation Gives

    The two reported 2023 grants were both $258,500, and the median, p25, and p75 grant size are each $258,500. That means the recent distribution is extremely flat: every listed award was the same size. The foundation also reported only two grants for the year, both in Connecticut. That pattern suggests a concentrated grantmaking approach with a small number of large awards rather than many smaller ones. The foundation accepts unsolicited applications through annual grant programs, and the materials describe a recurring October decision cycle with follow-up reporting from grantees. The public profile points to a nonprofit grantmaker rather than an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not indicate program-related investments.
