The Pat Moran Family Foundation concentrates on a small number of sizable, community-focused gifts that support local relief, public safety, and educational opportunity in mountain/rural communities. Their grants target practical needs — scholarships, emergency response equipment and programs, and operating or capital needs for community service organizations — often through civic clubs and local nonprofits. They tend to make repeat, large awards to a few trusted partners rather than many small grants.
PAT MORAN FAMILY FOUNDATION INC is based in Deerfield Beach, Florida, and reported $3,145,750 in annual grants with $9,418,688 in total assets on its latest 990 on file for 2025. Its grantmaking is national, though 47% of grants went to recipients in Florida, the state where it gives most often. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Recent grant records show a pattern of sizable, repeat awards to a limited set of organizations. Named recipients include KAMAS VALLEY LIONS CLUB, which received $120,000 in 2025 for scholarships for 16 students, SUMMIT COUNTY SEARCH AND RESCUE FUND, which received $100,000 in 2025 for its snow machine program, and BROTHER WOLF ANIMAL RESCUE, which received $100,000 in 2025 for a match program for pet rescue and adoption.
