About Patrick & Beatrice Haggerty Foundation
A defining feature of the Patrick & Beatrice Haggerty Foundation is its repeated general operating support for a small set of Dallas institutions, especially pediatric health providers and Catholic schools. In 2025, it gave $250,000 each to UT Southwestern Medical Center and Children's Health, both in Dallas, signaling a strong preference for large, local nonprofits over one-time project funding. The same pattern appears across prior years, with UT Southwestern receiving $240,000 in 2023 and Children's Health receiving another $200,000 in 2024, while Bishop Dunne Catholic School also appears repeatedly in the grant list. The foundation’s grantmaking is anchored in charitable, scientific, religious, literary, and educational purposes, but the recent grants show a practical emphasis on core operations rather than restricted programs. Its portfolio includes medical institutions, parochial schools, and other Dallas-based charities such as Family Place, Equest, and Dallas Court Appointed. The pattern suggests an established local funding relationship, with grants often recurring to the same organizations over multiple years and in substantial amounts.

Children’s health care is one of the clearest themes in the recent grants.

Catholic education is another major area. Bishop Dunne Catholic School received $170,000 in 2023 and $100,000 in 2024, and St Mary of Carmel Catholic School received $52,839 in 2023 and $25,000 in 2025. The foundation also supports other Catholic institutions, including St Cecilia Catholic Church and Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Its charitable grants extend beyond schools and hospitals. Family Place received $100,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2024, while Equest received $50,000 in 2024 and $30,000 in 2025, showing support for community-based service organizations and broader family services.

The recent grant list also shows a separate layer of much larger operating grants to a small number of recurring recipients, especially in Dallas. Most grants are unrestricted general operating support, and several organizations appear across multiple years, including UT Southwestern Medical Center, Children's Health, Bishop Dunne Catholic School, Family Place, and Equest. The foundation is a regular funder rather than a donor-advised fund, and it accepts unsolicited requests in several of its listed programs, with one general grantmaking program stating that requests must be submitted online.
