About Reinemund Family Foundation
Reinemund Family Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by six-figure general-fund support for institutions with educational, civic, and faith-based missions. The largest grant in the record is $250,000 to Alliance Defending Freedom, followed by $225,000 and $100,000 to the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, showing that the foundation is willing to make repeated, substantial unrestricted awards to the same organization. Alongside those larger commitments, it has also backed independent schools and preparatory institutions with sizeable operating support, including Villa Academy in Seattle and Cistercian Preparatory School in Irving. The pattern suggests relationship-based philanthropy rather than a broad open-call strategy. Grants are labeled general fund or general operating support, and the recipient list includes schools, churches, scholarship funds, and a small number of community organizations. In Colorado, the foundation’s home state, it has supported groups such as Civico, Platt Park Church, Hunger Free Colorado, and the University of Colorado Foundation. The mix of recipients points to a donor that favors flexible funding for institutions it appears to know well, especially in education and faith-linked settings.
What Reinemund Family Foundation Funds
A clear throughline in the foundation’s education giving is support for private secondary and preparatory schools. In 2024, it gave $166,134 to Villa Academy in Seattle and $160,000 to Cistercian Preparatory School in Irving, both as general fund support. Earlier awards to the same schools, including $17,409 to Villa Academy in 2026 and $11,000 to Cistercian Preparatory School in 2026, reinforce that pattern. Military education is another recurring area. The foundation gave $225,000 to the US Naval Academy in 2024 and another $100,000 in 2026, both for the general fund. It also supported leadership and character-related organizations through a $35,000 grant to Horatio Alger in 2024. Faith-linked institutions appear as well. Recent grants include $40,000 and $30,000 to Platt Park Church in Denver, plus $5,000 to Holy Trinity Catholic Parish in Dallas and $5,000 to St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach.
How Reinemund Family Foundation Gives
Typical grants are modest to mid-sized, with a p25 of $1,000, a median of $5,000, and a p75 of $10,750. The distribution is stretched by a small number of very large awards, including six-figure grants. Recipients often reappear across years: the US Naval Academy, Villa Academy, Cistercian Preparatory School, Platt Park Church, The Cooper Institute, and United Way each received multiple grants. The foundation appears to favor unrestricted support, with grants commonly labeled general fund or general operating support. It also functions as a private family foundation rather than a public grantmaker, and it does not fund individuals or program-related investments.
