The Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Fund concentrates almost all of its giving on higher education, providing institutional and student-life support to major public universities (notably Indiana University and the University of Wisconsin–Madison). Grants are predominantly unrestricted or foundation-level support, with a small, secondary interest in local Jewish communal philanthropy in Indianapolis. The foundation favors established universities and campus programs over a broad array of nonprofit types.
Concentrated and repeat-focused: relatively few, sizable grants directed mainly to two public universities (multiple grants to each), primarily for general/foundation support and student-union programming; minimal diversification into other nonprofit sectors.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Fund’s clearest pattern is sustained support for two public universities: Indiana University and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The fund has made repeated grants to the Indiana University Foundation for foundation-level support, including a $65,000 grant in 2023 and several smaller awards in 2024. It has also backed Wisconsin campus life, with multiple grants to the University of Wisconsin–Madison for the Wisconsin Student Union across 2023 and 2024. That combination points to a funder that supports institutional infrastructure rather than a wide mix of nonprofit programs. The foundation’s giving also reaches a smaller set of community and academic priorities in Indianapolis and in medical training. A $7,000 grant to the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis shows a local communal interest alongside the university focus. On the academic side, the University of Wisconsin–Madison also received support for education in plastic surgery, including grants in both 2023 and 2024. The overall profile is concentrated, repeat-oriented, and centered on higher education and campus-related support.
Higher education is the dominant theme in Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Fund’s grantmaking. It gave $29,225 to Indiana University Foundation in 2024 for foundation support, adding to earlier support for the same institution. Campus life is another clear line of giving. The foundation awarded $50,000 to University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2024 for the Wisconsin Student Union, and it made the same grant purpose in 2023 as well, plus a $4,864 award in 2025. Medical education appears as a narrower but distinct interest. The University of Wisconsin-Madison received $5,000 in 2024 for education in plastic surgery, matching a $5,000 grant in 2023 for the same purpose. The funder also made a local community grant to Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis for foundation support.
Typical grants cluster in the five-figure range, with a p25 of $5,976, a median of $10,346, and a p75 of $34,419. The recent grant list shows repeat support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially Indiana University Foundation and University of Wisconsin-Madison. Grants are mainly institutional or foundation-level support, with some program-specific education funding. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
