The Scantland Charitable Foundation combines a large pass-through donation strategy with targeted local support in the San Antonio area. While a single very large gift to Schwab Charitable Fund dominates their giving, the remainder of grants concentrate on local basic‑needs providers, education support organizations, disability/health services, and capacity-building intermediaries. They fund repeat grantees and a mix of direct service charities and philanthropic partners that strengthen the local nonprofit ecosystem.
A $2,000,000 grant to Schwab Charitable Fund stands out in Scantland Charitable Foundation’s recent record and signals a pass-through giving structure alongside local support. After that large transfer, the foundation’s giving is largely anchored in San Antonio and nearby Texas recipients, with repeated support for organizations working on food access, education, disability services, and neighborhood assistance. Their recent grants include five- and six-figure awards to local charities as well as smaller gifts in the $2,500 to $10,000 range, showing a mix of larger operating support and modest community-level grants. San Antonio Food Bank received $65,000 in 2025 and $50,000 in 2023, while Docuelves appeared multiple times with grants from $31,721 to $77,188 across 2023 to 2025. The foundation also backed Christian Assistance Ministry, Communities in Schools of San Antonio, San Antonio Lighthouse for the Blind, and Social Venture Partners, pointing to a local portfolio that combines direct service with intermediary support. The overall pattern is focused rather than broad, with Texas recipients accounting for nearly all grants in the recent list.
In hunger relief and emergency food services, Scantland Charitable Foundation supported San Antonio Food Bank with $65,000 in 2025 and $50,000 in 2023, and also gave $25,000 to Christian Assistance Ministry in 2023. For K-12 support and dropout prevention, Communities in Schools of San Antonio received $25,000 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2023. Disability and vision services also appear in the record: San Antonio Lighthouse for the Blind (Vision Works) received $20,000 in 2024, and The Blood and Tissue Center Foundation received $30,000 in 2023 for health-related support. The foundation also gave $20,000 to Social Venture Partners in 2024, indicating support for a local intermediary in addition to direct-service charities.
Typical grants cluster at $5,000 for the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $30,000 at the 75th percentile, even though the recent record also includes one $2,000,000 pass-through grant. The same organizations appear across multiple years, including San Antonio Food Bank and Docuelves, which points to repeat funding rather than one-off awards. The foundation is a charitable foundation, not an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments. Grantmaking is local and heavily concentrated in Texas recipients.
