The Travelli Fund concentrates its philanthropy on higher education scholarships, directing substantial support to a single institution. All recorded giving is to Clark University for scholarships, indicating a focused interest in student financial aid at the college level, likely with a regional connection to Massachusetts.
Highly concentrated: all known grants (two awards) go to a single recipient, Clark University, representing large, targeted gifts for scholarship purposes rather than broad or diversified giving.
The Charles Irwin Travelli Fund C/o Tyler & Reynolds concentrates its giving on scholarships, and its recorded grants all go to colleges and universities rather than to individuals. The pattern is clear in the recent grants list: Clark University received $156,000 in 2023 and $153,000 in 2024 for scholarships, while the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth received $148,000 in 2024 and $141,000 in 2025 for the same purpose. That makes the fund a focused supporter of postsecondary tuition assistance, with awards aimed at institutional scholarship programs. Other recipients show the same approach across a small set of New England institutions. Simmons College, Keene State College, Bates College, Bowdoin College, Colby College, Tufts University, Northeastern University, Cambridge College, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, and the University of Maine all appear in the grant record with scholarship restrictions. The fund’s giving profile suggests a sustained commitment to college access through direct financial aid, with recurring awards to the same campuses over multiple years.
A consistent theme in the grant record is scholarship support at named colleges and universities. For higher education access, the fund gave $135,000 to Clark University in 2025 and $130,000 to the University of Maine in 2023, both for scholarships. Massachusetts institutions also appear frequently: Simmons College received $135,000 in 2024 and $132,500 in 2025, while Northeastern University received $128,000 in 2024 and $122,000 in 2023. The fund also backs scholarship programs at regional liberal-arts campuses. Keene State College received $137,500 in 2024 and $130,000 in 2023, and Bates College received $134,500 in 2023 and $120,800 in 2025. Across these awards, the purpose text stays focused on scholarship funding rather than broader institutional operating support.
Typical grant size is tightly grouped: the 25th percentile is $98,750, the median is $120,000, and the 75th percentile is $132,250. The recent record shows a repeated pattern of grants to the same universities across multiple years, including Clark University, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Simmons College, Keene State College, Northeastern University, Tufts University, and the University of Maine. The foundation is a private fund with no individual grants and no program-related investments listed. The grant record does not show an application process.
