R E Woolley Ua Charitable Trust II Trustmark gives repeated general support to a small set of Mississippi organizations, with several recipients appearing in both 2023 and 2025 and the same $19,000 and $15,000 grant levels recurring across those years. The pattern points to steady, local support rather than one-off awards. Recent grants reached faith-based and community-serving groups in Jackson, Brandon, Ridgeland, and Raymond, including Alta Woods United Methodist, Mississippi United Methodist Fdn, Community Place, The Mustard Seed, and Hinds Community College Fdn C/o Jackie Granberry. That mix shows two clear lanes: denominational ministries tied to United Methodist life in central Mississippi and neighborhood institutions providing practical community or education support. The trust’s grantmaking is local and entirely within Mississippi, so its footprint is concentrated on organizations close to Jackson. Across the recent grants listed, the awards are not restricted to a single service type; instead, the funder backs churches, a college foundation, and community support organizations through general support grants.
United Methodist institutions are a major part of the trust’s grantmaking. In 2025 it gave $15,000 in general support to Alta Woods United Methodist and $15,000 to Mississippi United Methodist Fdn C/o Jackie Granberry, continuing a pattern that also appeared in 2024 and 2023. The same year, it supported The Mustard Seed in Brandon with $15,000 for general support, showing attention to a faith-linked community service organization. Educational support also appears in the record: Hinds Community College Fdn C/o Jackie Granberry received $15,000 in 2025 for general support, after earlier awards of $19,000 in 2023 and $8,100 in 2024. Community Place in Jackson received $15,000 in 2025 and prior grants in earlier years, indicating ongoing support for a local neighborhood-serving organization.
Typical grant sizes cluster in the mid-teens, with p25 at $8,100, median at $15,000, and p75 at $19,000. The grant list shows repeated awards to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which suggests an ongoing support model rather than isolated gifts. Every listed grant is for general support, and the trust does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its recent pattern is small in number but consistent in purpose, with awards that appear to renew support for core operations.
