The DeVito Family Trust concentrates its giving on hands-on, service-oriented programs—particularly support for veterans and military families, emergency first-responder capacity, and direct services for children facing serious illness. Grants are sizable and often repeated to the same organizations, funding specific program staff/operations and tangible assets (e.g., farm manager position, fire boat, retreat programs). The foundation also uses donor-advised channels for larger philanthropic allocations.
A defining pattern in The Devito Family Trust (fka the Beechmont Foundation)’s recent grantmaking is its support for hands-on programs that require staff, equipment, and direct service capacity. The trust has funded veteran reintegration, emergency response, and children’s services through grants that often cover operating costs or specific roles rather than only one-time project expenses. One of its largest recent awards went to Fields 4 Valor Farms for a farm manager position and general operating expenses, reflecting a preference for strengthening day-to-day delivery. Another major recipient, Operation Second Chance, received repeated support for an emergency assistance program and Heroes Ridge at Ravens Rock. The trust has also backed service organizations tied to children and families, including Cool Kids Campaign Foundation Inc for a mother’s retreat, children’s day camps, and a grant coordinator position. Across recent grants, the picture is of a regional funder that pairs general support with targeted investments in people, programming, and practical infrastructure.
Veterans and military families are a clear priority. The trust gave $105,000 in 2025 to Fields 4 Valor Farms to fund the farm manager position and general operating expenses, and it supported Operation Second Chance with $60,000 in both 2024 and 2025 for an emergency assistance program and Heroes Ridge at Ravens Rock. Children and family services are another thread: Cool Kids Campaign Foundation Inc received $62,000 in 2025 for a mother’s retreat, children’s day camps, and a grant coordinator position. The foundation also funds community service infrastructure, including $60,000 in 2024 to Eagle Bay Volunteer Hose Company for a fire boat and $20,000 in 2025 to Heart of Gold Foundation for generators and equipment for NC disaster. Its portfolio includes outdoor and therapeutic programming, such as $25,000 to Futures Inc for expansion of the pet therapy program.
Typical grant size sits at $3,500 at the 25th percentile, $8,108 at the median, and $22,250 at the 75th percentile, with a much larger $1,464,715 in annual grants overall. The trust’s recent record shows repeat support to the same organizations across multiple years, especially Operation Second Chance, Drink at the Well Inc, No Person Left Behind Outdoors, Talmar Inc, and Futures Inc. That pattern points to multi-year relationship giving rather than isolated awards. The trust also uses donor-advised channels for broader allocations, alongside direct grants. Recent awards include general support, operating expenses, and funding for specific staff or equipment.
