About Saint Susie Charitable Foundation
The Saint Susie Charitable Foundation is a San Antonio-focused funder that prioritizes faith-based programming and family/child services, with a strong emphasis on Christian youth ministries and marriage-support initiatives. It tends to make relatively large, targeted grants to a small number of local organizations—often providing repeat support for expansion or program growth. Grants also include faith-based counseling and education-access projects, indicating a blend of religious practice, family stability, and youth development in its giving. The foundation’s portfolio is heavily local and mission-driven rather than broadly diversified by sector.

About Saint Susie Charitable Foundation
A repeated pattern of $105,000 support for Youth for Christ affiliates stands out in the Saint Susie Charitable Foundation’s recent giving. That level of commitment, paired with multi-year backing for expansion work, points to a funder that favors concentrated, relationship-based grants over broad dispersal. The foundation’s portfolio centers on Christian youth ministry, marriage support, faith-based counseling, and school-community partnerships, with most gifts staying in San Antonio and nearby Texas communities. Recent awards show the same approach across several organizations. San Antonio Youth for Christ received $105,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for expansion projects, while South Texas Youth for Christ received $105,000 in 2025 for general support. The foundation also returned to San Antonio Marriage Intiative with $65,000 grants in 2024 and 2025, and to School Connect Sa with $50,000 in 2024 and 2025. These repeated grants suggest ongoing support for organizations already inside the foundation’s circle of attention. The giving profile is local and mission-specific. Alongside youth ministry and family-strengthening work, the foundation funds education access, counseling, and positive parenting programs through named San Antonio nonprofits and a small number of Texas partners outside the city.
What Saint Susie Charitable Foundation Funds
In youth ministry, the foundation gave $105,000 to South Texas Youth for Christ in 2025 for general support, and it had already funded San Antonio Youth for Christ with $105,000 expansion-project grants in 2023 and 2024. That same youth-oriented pattern appears in support for Young Life San Antonio & South Texas, which received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Family and marriage programming is another clear line of giving. San Antonio Marriage Intiative received $65,000 grants in both 2024 and 2025 for general support, showing sustained backing for marriage-strengthening work. The foundation also supports counseling and parent education. Ecumenical Center for Education Counseling Health received $50,000 in 2025 for faith based counseling, and Sa Hope Center received $25,000 in 2025 for a positive parenting program. Education-related grants include $50,000 to School Connect Sa in 2025 for general support and $35,000 to the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2025 for an educational program.
