The P J Callahan Foundation concentrates its small but sizable giving on institutional education and medical support. Most of its recent funding went to a Catholic college-preparatory high school in New York, with a secondary commitment to a national brain tumor patient/support organization, suggesting priorities in faith-based secondary education and serious illness support services.
Highly concentrated: very few grants (two) with large dollar amounts favoring repeat/major institutional beneficiaries rather than many small awards.
A $105,000 grant to St Francis Preparatory High School in Fresh Meadows, NY stands out as the foundation’s largest recent award and points to a clear commitment to Catholic secondary education. P J Callahan Foundation Inc also made a $50,000 grant to Brain Tumor Network for general operations, showing that its giving extends beyond schools into illness-support services. Across the recent grants list, the foundation backs established nonprofits with unrestricted or general operating support, especially where institutional stability matters. Education appears as a recurring theme through grants to The Ursuline School in New Rochelle, NY, Father Lopez Catholic Hs in Daytona Beach, FL, St Thomas Aquinas College in Sparkill, NY, and Catholic Education Opportunities Foundation Inc in Lexington, KY. Health-related support is another visible strand, with grants to New York Presbyterian Hospital, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Hackensack University Medical Center Foundation, Jupiter Medical Center Foundation, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and Samaritan's Purse. The pattern suggests a funder that favors ongoing support for organizations with recognizable missions rather than highly specialized project funding.
Catholic education is one of the clearest areas in P J Callahan Foundation Inc’s giving. It awarded $35,000 to The Ursuline School in New Rochelle, NY for general operations, $25,000 to Father Lopez Catholic Hs in Daytona Beach, FL for general operations, and $10,000 to Catholic Education Opportunities Foundation Inc in Lexington, KY to support general operations. Health and medical support also receives sustained attention. The foundation gave $25,000 to New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York, NY for general operations and $10,000 to NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York, NY for general support. Related gifts went to Hackensack University Medical Center Foundation in Lodi, NJ and Jupiter Medical Center Foundation in Jupiter, FL, both for general operations. The foundation’s social-service and family-support giving includes $27,591 to Belmont Child Care Association in Elmont, NY for general operations and $10,000 to Julie's Butterfly Foundation in Wyckoff, NJ for general operations.
Typical grants cluster at a small scale: the p25, median, and p75 are $2,500, $2,500, and $5,000. Even so, the recent record includes several $10,000 and $25,000 awards, plus one much larger $105,000 grant. The pattern is largely recurring rather than one-off: The Ursuline School, Jupiter Medical Center Foundation, Brain Tumor Network, Hackensack University Medical Center Foundation, Samaritan's Purse, and Church of the Resurrection each appear in more than one year. The foundation appears to be a grantmaking private foundation with no individual giving and no program-related investments, and its recent awards are mostly general operating support.

The typical grant size is small: the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile are $2,500, $2,500, and $5,000. The recent list also shows more frequent $10,000, $25,000, and one $105,000 grant, so the foundation makes a mix of smaller core grants and larger occasional awards.

Several organizations appear across multiple years, including The Ursuline School, Jupiter Medical Center Foundation, Brain Tumor Network, Hackensack University Medical Center Foundation, Samaritan's Purse, and Church of the Resurrection. That pattern suggests repeat support rather than purely one-time gifts.
