The Robert L Stott Foundation concentrates its giving on a small number of fairly large grants, splitting support between private Catholic schooling and animal welfare. The foundation has made repeat, sizeable gifts to Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart in Bellevue and a major out-of-state gift to the Monmouth County SPCA, suggesting personal or family ties drive selection as much as geography. Overall, the foundation favors targeted, high-impact awards rather than many small grants.
Concentrated giving: few, large grants with a repeat grantee (Forest Ridge) and selective out-of-state support; emphasis on program/core support rather than many small awards.
Notable grantees: FOREST RIDGE SCHOOL OF THE SACRED HEART (repeat recipient), MONMOUTH COUNTY SPCA
Robert L Stott Foundation Inc C/o Lawrence Stott makes a small number of relatively large grants, with recent awards split between Catholic schooling and animal welfare. In 2025, it gave $55,000 each to Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart in Bellevue and Monmouth County SPCA in Eatontown, New Jersey, both listed as support to promote charitable purpose. That same pattern of concentrated giving shows up in 2024 as well, when Forest Ridge received another $27,500 grant. The foundation’s recent record also shows support for pediatric cancer organizations, including National Pediatric Cancer Foundation in Tampa and Alsac St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. Across the grants on file, the foundation appears to favor direct awards rather than a wide spread of small gifts, and its recipient list includes both local Washington institutions and organizations outside the state. The mix points to a grantmaker that supports a limited set of institutions through sizeable, often unrestricted-seeming awards.
Catholic education is one of the foundation’s clearest areas of support. Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart in Bellevue received $55,000 in 2025 after a $27,500 grant in 2024, both described as support to promote charitable purpose. Animal welfare is another visible thread. Monmouth County SPCA in Eatontown, New Jersey received $55,000 in 2025 for the same charitable-purpose language. The foundation also funded pediatric cancer work in 2024. National Pediatric Cancer Foundation in Tampa received $13,750, and Alsac St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis also received $13,750, showing support for more than one organization in that field. These grants suggest the foundation gives to a narrow set of causes rather than a broad program portfolio.
Typical grant size sits at $13,750 at the 25th percentile, $27,500 at the median, and $55,000 at the 75th percentile, which fits a pattern of a few larger awards rather than many small ones. The recent record shows repeat support for Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart across 2024 and 2025, alongside one-time gifts to other recipients. The foundation made $165,000 in annual grants and holds $779,337 in assets. The grants appear to be charitable support grants, with no individual giving or program-related investments indicated.
