    About Flatley Foundation

    The Flatley Foundation concentrates its giving in Greater Boston and New England, making a small number of very large gifts focused on medical research, Catholic institutions, and capital projects at higher-education institutions. Grants are often institutional and capacity-building (research endowments, archives/building projects, pastoral support) rather than many small operating grants. The foundation shows repeat support to major local institutions and occasional use of donor-advised mechanisms.

    About Flatley Foundation

    A defining feature of The Flatley Foundation’s recent giving is its repeated support for Brigham & Women’s Hospital, including a $5,000,000 grant for neurologic diseases research and additional seven-figure awards for the same research area and the Bridges to Moms program. That pattern sits alongside large commitments to Catholic institutions and to major capital or infrastructure projects at higher-education institutions. The foundation’s grantmaking is not broad and diffuse; it is built around a small number of very large awards to institutions with long-term programs or physical needs. Across the recent grant list, the foundation backed pastoral support for the Archdiocese of Boston, an archives building project at Boston College, and scholarship support at schools with Catholic or health-care education missions. It also funded direct-service and community-health work through organizations such as Americares, Care USA, Aceing Autism, and the New England Center and Home for Veterans. Several grants are unrestricted, while others are tightly designated for research, scholarships, retreats, clinics, or relief efforts. The overall picture is of a funder that concentrates on established organizations and uses large checks to support institutional capacity, specialized care, and faith-based priorities.

    What Flatley Foundation Funds

    In neurologic disease research, the foundation gave $5,000,000 to Brigham & Women’s Hospital for neurologic diseases research in 2023 and another $2,000,000 for the same purpose in 2024. It also supported maternal and family health through a $1,500,000 grant to the hospital for the Bridges to Moms program in 2024 and a further $1,000,000 for that program in 2025. Catholic institutions are another major theme. The Archdiocese of Boston received $5,000,000 in 2024 for Catholic community fund pastoral support, while Saint Anselm College received $2,500,000 for Catholic health care education. The foundation also funded scholarship support at Saint Benedict Academy and Thomas Aquinas College, linking its education giving to Catholic settings. Beyond those core areas, the foundation has supported health access and disability services. Americares received grants for U.S. and El Salvador clinics and for Hurricane Helene response, while Aceing Autism received multiple unrestricted grants.

    How Flatley Foundation Gives

    The Flatley Foundation’s recent grants cluster around large awards rather than small distributions. Its typical grant size is $75,000 at the 25th percentile, $100,000 at the median, and $200,000 at the 75th percentile, while the recent list also includes multiple gifts in the $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 range. The pattern is institutional and often designated for research, capital, scholarships, or program support. Repeat support is common: Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Americares, Teen Challenge New England Inc, Aceing Autism Inc, and Jett Foundation Inc each appear more than once in the recent grants list. The foundation also uses unrestricted grants in some cases, including awards to Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund and several operating gifts to recipient organizations. It funds individuals as well as institutions, and it makes no program-related investments.
