The Mike and Rebecca Bogan Family Foundation concentrates its giving on education and workforce-development related causes, with a particular emphasis on scholarship and department-level support at higher‑education institutions and professional associations. Grants are targeted and programmatic—often named funds or scholarships—and include both unrestricted operating support for education nonprofits and earmarked funds for minority travel, departmental needs, and industry scholarships.
The Mike and Rebecca Bogan Family Foundation’s largest recent grants point to a steady commitment to education, especially landscape architecture and related university programming. In 2025, the foundation gave $65,000 to Tangerine Education Foundation for general support, alongside another $30,000 to the same organization in 2024 for the LEAF fund. Mississippi State University Foundation Inc also appears prominently, receiving $61,000 in 2024 for the Mike and Rebecca Bogan Student Travel Fund and the Mike and Rebecca Bogan LA Fab Lab Fund, plus $57,500 in 2025 for multiple Bogan funds tied to the Department of Landscape Architecture and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The pattern suggests a funder that favors named funds, departmental support, and targeted student experiences rather than broad, undifferentiated giving. Their grants also extend to professional associations and selected education nonprofits, with smaller awards appearing for campus media and athletics support. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s giving is concentrated in education-related institutions and programs that support students, faculty, and professional development.
A major theme is landscape architecture education. The foundation gave $50,000 in 2024 to the National Association of Landscape Professionals Fo for a scholarship fund in landscape architecture, landscape management, landscape contracting, or a related field, and another $10,000 in 2025 to the same organization for Elevate Green Battle Washington DC. At Mississippi State University Foundation Inc, the 2024 grant package included support for the Mike and Rebecca Bogan LA Fab Lab Fund, linking giving to hands-on makerspace resources for students. The foundation also supports studio and lecture programming: Mississippi State University Foundation Inc received $20,000 in 2024 for the Michael and Rebecca Bogan Lecture Series and Michael and Rebecca Bogan Studio Enrichment Fund. Beyond that, the foundation funded community and disaster relief with a $5,000 grant to Samaritans Purse for Western Carolina Hurricane Relief.
Grant sizes range from a $3,125 25th percentile to a $20,000 median and a $45,000 75th percentile, with a few larger awards reaching $65,000. The recent list shows repeated recipients across multiple years, including Tangerine Education Foundation, Mississippi State University Foundation Inc, and Kpbs San Diego, which indicates ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. The pattern is programmatic and often name-specific: student travel funds, fab lab support, lecture series funding, and departmental funds recur in the grant descriptions. The foundation also makes both general and restricted grants, with a mix of operating support and earmarked awards tied to particular university programs or initiatives.
