About Huisking Foundation
The Huisking Foundation Inc. gives through a mission tied to the memory of Lieut. Frank R. Huisking, with grants aimed at benevolent, charitable, religious, and educational institutions, as well as efforts that promote patriotism, duty, and faith. Its recent grantmaking shows that mission in practice: support for Americares Foundation in Stamford, Connecticut reached $87,000 in 2025 for relief aid and operating support, while Make a Wish Foundation of Georgia received $84,000 in 2025 for a community children’s benefit. Those awards sit alongside funding for churches, hospitals, theaters, and service organizations across the country, suggesting a funder that mixes religious, educational, humanitarian, and community-oriented giving. The foundation also funds individuals, but its public grant pattern centers on organizations serving children, patients, congregations, and local communities. With annual grants of $5,185,800 and assets of $32,850,701, it operates at a substantial scale while still making many grants in the $2,000 to $10,000 range.

The foundation also supports cultural programming, including Sarasota Orchestra in Sarasota, Florida for programming / education.
