The Hanley Family Foundation concentrates its giving on long-term substance use disorder treatment and recovery organizations, with a faith-informed approach to residential rehabilitation and rescue missions. Most grants are unrestricted/general-purpose support, directed at a small number of service providers that run recovery, residential rehabilitation, and related social-service programs across several states. The foundation gives few, relatively large gifts and shows a clear preference for repeat funding to core addiction/recovery providers.
Highly concentrated: a small number of large grants (one grantee receives the vast majority), repeat funding to core recovery organizations, few total recipients and geographies.
A single $2,050,000 general-purpose grant to Hanley Center Foundation in 2025 stands out in The Hanley Family Foundation Inc C/o Michael Hanley’s recent giving. That gift sits within a pattern of large unrestricted awards to organizations working in substance use disorder treatment, recovery housing, and related rehabilitation services. The foundation’s grants often support established nonprofits that operate residential treatment or recovery-focused programs rather than short-term projects. In the recent record, Hanley Center Foundation appears again in 2024 with a $400,000 general-purpose grant and in 2023 with an $85,000 award, showing a multi-year relationship with a core recovery provider. Other recipients include Bridges of Iowa, Trosa Inc, Charlotte Rescue Mission, Mary Hall Freedom House Inc, and The Extension Inc. The grantees suggest a strong preference for nonprofits serving people in recovery through treatment, residential support, and transitional services. The foundation also gives repeated support to some organizations over multiple years, including No Longer Bound and Harbor Homes Inc, which fits a pattern of backing a small group of service providers with flexible funding. Its giving is centered on U.S. public charities and is oriented toward substance use disorder treatment and recovery services.
Substance use disorder treatment is the clearest theme in the foundation’s recent grantmaking. In 2025, it gave $100,000 to Trosa Inc for general purposes, and in 2023 it awarded $100,000 to Bridges of Iowa for general purposes. Both grants align with organizations serving people in recovery through structured treatment or rehabilitation settings. Residential and faith-informed recovery services also appear often. The foundation gave $51,000 to Charlotte Rescue Mission in 2024 and $50,000 to Twelfth Step Ministry in 2023, both for general-purpose support. These awards fit alongside funding for Mary Hall Freedom House Inc and The Extension Inc, which point to recovery housing and transitional support. A third thread is general operating support for established nonprofits that can use funds flexibly. Grants such as $50,000 to Stepping Stones Inc and $35,000 to Step2 Inc show a preference for broad-purpose funding rather than tightly restricted project grants.
