The foundation is heavily focused on supporting the Salesian Catholic network and related youth-serving institutions, funding schools, scholarship programs, youth clubs, parish ministries, and formation/retreat houses. Grants are often designated for scholarships, general operating support, youth ministry and occasional senior-care or formation needs, with repeated support for the same Salesian organizations across multiple U.S. locations.
A defining pattern of St Philip the Apostle Foundation Inc is its repeated support for the Salesian Society in New Rochelle, where one of the largest recent grants went to general support, senior care, and scholarships. That same cluster appears again across the record, showing a steady relationship with Salesian-run schools, community centers, parish ministries, and formation houses. The foundation’s giving is not limited to one site: it backs institutions tied to the Salesian Catholic network in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Florida, Louisiana, and Illinois. Within that network, the foundation funds a mix of operating support and direct aid. Salesian Society, Salesians of Don Bosco, and Salesian-affiliated schools each receive support for different needs, including scholarship aid, general operations, youth ministry, and formation. The picture is of a donor focused on institutions that serve students, youth participants, clergy-in-formation communities, and older adults connected to the Salesian mission. The recent record also shows repeat awards to the same organizations over multiple years, which points to ongoing institutional support rather than isolated one-time grants. For researchers, the clearest thread is the foundation’s consistent backing of Salesian organizations and related Catholic ministries serving young people and formation communities.
In senior care and broader institutional support, the foundation gave $1,218,679 to Salesian Society in New Rochelle for general support, senior care, and scholarships. A prior award of $1,061,628 to the same organization in 2024 covered the same mix of needs. For youth ministry and community programming, it provided $87,722 to Don Bosco Community Center in Port Chester for youth ministry programs and $95,873 to Salesian Boys & Girls Club of East Boston for general support. The same East Boston club also received $84,198 in 2024. Scholarships are another clear theme. Cristo Rey Tampa High School received $54,336 for scholarships, while Mary Help of Christians Tampa received $41,695 for scholarships. Salesian High School in New Rochelle also received $104,945 for scholarships. Formation and parish-linked support appear as well, including $173,322 to Salesians of Don Bosco for house of formation, Archbishop Shaw High School, and general operations, plus $57,745 to St John Bosco Parish in Port Chester for general support.

Concentrated, relationship-driven giving: a small number of large, often repeat grants dominate total giving (notably one multi-million grant to Salesian Society), with several recurring payments to the same Salesian network organizations across multiple geographies rather than widely distributed one-off gifts.
Notable grantees: Salesian Society, Salesian High School, Salesian Boys & Girls Club of East Boston, Don Bosco Community Center, Cristo Rey Tampa High School
Typical grants fall in a middle range: the 25th percentile is $31,250, the median is $71,699, and the 75th percentile is $111,302. The recent record includes both larger institutional awards and smaller targeted gifts, with many grants landing in the tens of thousands. This is a recurring grantmaker. The same organizations appear in multiple years, including Salesian Society, Salesian High School, Salesian Boys & Girls Club of East Boston, Cristo Rey Tampa High School, and Mary Help of Christians Tampa. The pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. The foundation is structured as a private grantmaker; it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The available data does not show an application process.
The largest share of grants goes to recipients in New York, and 29% of grants are to organizations in New Jersey, the headquarters state.

Port Chester is another recurring recipient city, with support for Don Bosco Community Center, St John Bosco Parish, and Salesian Community of Port Chester. Other named recipient locations include East Boston, Tampa, Marrero, and Chicago. All recent grants shown are to U.S. recipients.
