This foundation concentrates its giving in the St. Louis region, supporting local faith-based congregations and ministries alongside community social-service providers that serve vulnerable populations (youth, refugees, foster children, people in crisis) and health-related nonprofits. Grants tend to be operational/program support and many recipients receive repeat awards, indicating a preference for sustaining familiar local partners rather than one-off national appeals. The portfolio also includes modest support for arts, veteran/family services, and community economic initiatives, suggesting a broad but locally focused charitable remit.
The E Walter Hausstette Charitable Foundation C/o Mike Moloney Big Sky directs most of its giving to St. Louis-area organizations, with 86% of grants going to recipients in Missouri. Its recent portfolio shows a steady pattern of $5,000 general-support gifts, with a larger $10,000 grant to Covenant House - Missouri in 2023. The foundation’s reach is broad within that local frame: faith-based ministries, youth and family services, health-related nonprofits, and community support groups all appear in the recent grants list. That mix suggests a funder that favors practical operating support over narrow project-only funding. Several grantees point to sustained local priorities. Covenant House - Missouri received the largest recent award, while organizations such as Fisher House in St Louis, Marian Middle School, St Francis Community Services, and Midwest Children's Burn Camp also received support. Faith communities are present too, including Living the Word Church, Oak Bridge Community Church, and Our Lady of Providence Catholic Church. The pattern is not limited to one subsector; it includes services for vulnerable youth, people in crisis, and health-related needs, alongside ministries and community institutions that serve the St. Louis region.
Youth and family services are a clear part of the foundation’s giving. In 2023, it gave $10,000 to Covenant House - Missouri for general support, and $5,000 to Jefferson County Foster Children's Fund for general support. It also supported Marian Middle School, The Covering House, and Midwest Children's Burn Camp, all at $5,000 each. Faith-based organizations form another visible strand. The foundation awarded $5,000 each to Living the Word Church, Oak Bridge Community Church, Our Lady of Providence Catholic Church, Giddo Simon Ministries, and D-6 Ministries. Health-related support appears as well, including $5,000 grants to Huntington's Disease Society of America-missouri Chapter and Fisher House in St Louis. Community-serving groups such as St Francis Community Services and Guardian Angel Settlement Association round out the picture.
Grant sizes are tightly clustered: the typical award is $5,000, and the p25, median, and p75 are all $5,000. That points to a standardized giving pattern rather than widely varying check sizes. The recent record also suggests repeat support for familiar recipients, including Huntington's Disease Society of America-missouri Chapter, which appears more than once in the grant list. The foundation is not a program-related investor and does not fund individuals. Its public record here shows grantmaking to organizations only, with general support as the listed purpose across the recent grants. The overall pattern is local, sustained, and operational in character.
