About Hickey Family Foundation
The Hickey Family Foundation appears to focus on evidence-based global health interventions, demonstrated by a single six-figure grant to the Against Malaria Foundation. Their giving is international in scope and directed toward disease prevention efforts that have measurable impact. With only one recorded grant, the foundation currently presents as a small, targeted donor rather than a broad diversified funder.

About Hickey Family Foundation
The Hickey Family Foundation shows a clear split between large, recurring support for evidence-based malaria prevention and a broader pattern of small grants to health, education, relief, and community groups. Its two $100,000 grants to Against Malaria Foundation, in 2023 and 2025, stand out as the clearest marker of that focus. Alongside that, the foundation has funded a mix of unrestricted gifts and purpose-specific awards to organizations working in public health, social services, and local community programming. Recent grants also include support for Give Directly for relief work, Solar Aid, and Global Giving for disaster-response purposes. The foundation’s recorded grantmaking suggests a donor that uses a combination of unrestricted support and targeted project funding, with a particular interest in interventions that can be tied to concrete outcomes. The grant record also shows attention to institutions such as Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago, The Night Ministry, Misericordia Foundation, and Helen Keller International, indicating that the foundation’s giving is not limited to one issue area even when a few gifts are especially large.
What Hickey Family Foundation Funds
In global health, the foundation has supported malaria prevention directly through a $100,000 grant to Against Malaria Foundation in 2025 and another $100,000 grant in 2023, both unrestricted. It has also funded Helen Keller International, which is associated here with an unrestricted $10,000 grant. Beyond infectious disease work, the foundation has backed relief and humanitarian responses: Give Directly received $55,000 in 2025 for DRC relief, LA fires relief, and Texas flooding relief, and another $10,000 in 2023 for Yemen relief. Education and youth-oriented programming also appears in the record through St Elizabeth Catholic School, which received $10,000 in 2023, and The Catholic University of America, which received two grants tied to baseball athletics. The foundation has additionally supported entrepreneurship and school-related programming through Solaraid’s schools and entrepreneur model grant.
How Hickey Family Foundation Gives

It is structured as a family foundation and does not fund individuals. Unsolicited applications are not accepted in the listed programs.
