The Old Ladies Home Association concentrates its giving on health care, long‑term care and community social services in its region, prioritizing institutions that provide nursing, medical rehabilitation, and housing/support for vulnerable adults. Grants are large and targeted — often funding facility projects, capital renovations, or operating support for organizations serving the elderly, disabled, homeless, or medically vulnerable. The foundation appears to favor established provider organizations and health systems over small grassroots groups.
Old Ladies Home Association’s largest recent grant went to Willard F Bond Home for a nursing home, a signal of how strongly the foundation supports long-term care and residential services. Across the recent grants list, it also backed Gateway Rescue Mission for aid to hungry, homeless, and addicted community members, and The Baddour Center for renovating an older home for disabled adults. Those awards sit within a larger pattern of health care, rehabilitation, housing support, and direct social services for vulnerable adults and families in Mississippi. The foundation’s giving is concentrated on established providers rather than small, one-off projects. Recent recipients include medical rehabilitation centers, hospital-related entities, food assistance organizations, and housing-oriented nonprofits. Several grants support facility or mission-based work, such as a campaign to renovate housing for disabled adults and aid for people who are homeless. Other awards support medical care delivery, primary care and gynecology for uninsured patients, and charitable food redistribution. The recent record shows a funder that favors practical service delivery and institutional support for community needs.
Medical rehabilitation is a core theme. In 2023, Old Ladies Home Association gave $400,000 to Methodist Rehabilitation Center for medical rehabilitation, and in 2025 it made additional rehabilitation grants of $50,000 and $35,000 to the same organization. Housing and shelter services are another clear area. Gateway Rescue Mission received $1,053,843 in 2025 for aid to hungry, homeless, and addicted members of the community, plus another $15,000 for the same purpose. The foundation also supports health access and basic needs. Mission Firstlantern Clinic received $22,500 to provide primary care and gynecology to uninsured members of the community, while The Gleaners Inc received $63,500 for food salvage for charitable redistribution. Operation Shoestring was awarded $22,500 for year-round afterschool and summer programs for children.
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $31,875, a median of $56,750, and a p75 of $340,818. The distribution includes both smaller operating-style awards and much larger capital or campaign gifts, such as the seven-figure nursing home grant and a renovation campaign award. The recent record shows repeat support to the same organizations across years, including multiple grants to Methodist Rehabilitation Center, Gateway Rescue Mission, and Wilson Research Foundation. The foundation is a private grantmaker; it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
