The Sirco Family Foundation directs modest, focused support to faith-based and child welfare organizations, primarily funding two repeat grantees. Grants are concentrated locally and appear intended for program or operating support to a church and a Catholic children’s services agency, reflecting a preference for religiously affiliated social service providers.
Concentrated and repeat giving: a small portfolio (4 grants) split between two organizations with multiple grants each, suggesting ongoing core support rather than one-off, broad-based giving.
Sirco Family Foundation Inc gives most of its visible support through a small set of recurring, unrestricted grants, with the largest recent award going to Grace Fellowship in Watervliet, New York. The pattern is consistent across the file: substantial support to a church, repeated funding for St Catherines Center for Children in Albany, and additional gifts to faith-based and child-focused service organizations. That mix places religious congregations alongside child welfare and direct-service charities at the center of the foundation’s giving. The foundation’s recent grants show a practical preference for organizations that deliver services rather than one-time events. Grace Fellowship received $36,000 in 2024 and $33,000 in 2023, while St Catherines Center for Children received $31,000 in 2024 and $27,200 in 2023. Those repeat awards suggest an ongoing relationship rather than isolated support. Smaller grants extend the same pattern to groups such as Capital City Rescue Mission, Compassion International, and Folds of Honor, all funded on an unrestricted basis. A trade-education scholarship also appears in the record, showing that the foundation’s interests include vocational support as well as faith-based and child-serving work.
Faith-based giving is one of the clearest themes in the record. Sirco Family Foundation Inc gave $36,000 in 2024 to Grace Fellowship in Watervliet for unrestricted support, and it also funded Brunswick Presbyterian Church in Troy with $10,000 in 2023. Child welfare and residential services are another major thread. The foundation gave $31,000 in 2024 to St Catherines Center for Children in Albany, also unrestricted, after a $27,200 grant in 2023. The file also includes broader direct-service and relief organizations. Compassion International in Colorado Springs received $13,400 in 2024, while Capital City Rescue Mission in Albany received $5,000 in 2024. A separate education-related grant went to Aacc Foundation in Arnold, Maryland, for the Clauson Center Trades Education Scholarship Fund.
Typical awards are small to mid-sized: the p25 grant is $1,000, the median is $2,250, and the p75 is $5,000. The file shows a mix of larger anchor grants and many grants clustered at or below the median, with several recipients appearing in multiple years. That repeat pattern is visible in grants to Grace Fellowship, St Catherines Center for Children, Compassion International, Folds of Honor, Capital City Rescue Mission, Equinox Inc, Save the Children, Samaritan's Purse, St Joseph's House, and Convoy of Hope. Sirco Family Foundation Inc is classified as a regular funder and also funds individuals.
