The Stanley Blaxton Foundation makes a small number of relatively large, targeted grants that split between international emergency humanitarian relief and local public school support. Recent grants show a willingness to fund faith-based disaster response overseas (notably Ukraine relief) while also investing in K–12 public education programs in Chesapeake, VA. The foundation appears opportunistic and impact-focused rather than broadly diversified.
Stanley Blaxton Foundation Inc stands out for a $30,000 grant to Samaritan's Purse for relief efforts in Ukraine, the largest award in the recent grants list. That international emergency response sits alongside a steady stream of local support in Chesapeake and nearby Virginia communities, showing a funder that moves between overseas crisis aid and community-level programs close to home. The foundation also funded Chesapeake Public Schools Education Foundation twice, including a $16,000 unrestricted grant in 2024 and a $10,252 unrestricted grant in 2025, pointing to repeated support for public education. Other recent awards show similar targeted giving: Mercy Medical Angels received multiple unrestricted grants, and Great Bridge Intermediate School received $10,000 for spot vision screening. The pattern is not broad program diversification; it is a set of specific, practical grants to organizations serving students, families, health access, food support, and relief needs. With annual grants of $376,752 and total assets of $1,019,523, the foundation operates at a modest scale but uses grants that are meaningful relative to the size of the portfolio.
Education appears as a recurring local theme. In 2024, Stanley Blaxton Foundation Inc gave $16,000 to Chesapeake Public Schools Education Foundation for unrestricted support, then added $10,252 in 2025 for the same recipient and purpose. Health access is another clear line of giving: Chesapeake Care Clinic received $10,000 in 2024 and another $5,000 in 2025, both unrestricted, while Great Bridge Intermediate School received $10,000 for spot vision screening in 2023. Food and basic assistance also show up in the grant list. Foodbank of Se Virginia received $15,000 in 2025, and Meals on Wheels Chesapeake received $15,000 in 2025, both unrestricted. The foundation also funded holiday-related community activity through a $5,000 grant to Greater Willimasburg Chamber of Commerce for Home for the Holidays.
Typical grant sizes are small to moderate: p25 is $1,500, median is $2,000, and p75 is $5,000. The recent list also includes a few larger awards, such as $30,000 and multiple $10,000-plus grants, which suggests a core of modest support with occasional larger, targeted commitments. Several recipients appear more than once across years, including Chesapeake Public Schools Education Foundation, Mercy Medical Angels, Chesapeake Care Clinic, Oasis Social Ministry, Wooden Boat Workshop, and Edmarc Hospice for Children. That repeat pattern points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation makes program- or event-specific grants as well as unrestricted support, and it funds individuals according to the profile data.
