The Kenrose Kitchen Table Foundation concentrates its funding in very large, targeted grants focused on national cultural heritage and philanthropic infrastructure. Its giving is dominated by two recipients: major multi-million-dollar support for the construction of a National Coast Guard Museum and substantial transfers to Fidelity Charitable (likely to fund donor-advised or flexible future giving). The foundation appears to operate with a national—not local—orientation and prefers big, discrete commitments over many small grants.
The Kenrose Kitchen Table Foundation’s recent giving is shaped by two multi-million-dollar commitments: repeated transfers to Fidelity Charitable for more autonomy in giving, and a multi-year campaign for the construction of the National Coast Guard Museum. Those two patterns sit alongside targeted support for education, youth mental health, and capital projects tied to schools, health systems, and maritime institutions. The foundation also funds individuals, which aligns with its scholarship and internship grants to students. Among its largest education-related commitments are recurring grants to the University of San Diego for the J.D. Power Family Bridge to Success initiative, middle-income scholarships, and the J.D. Power summer internship program. It also backed Nativity School of Worcester for a campus campaign and scholarship funding, and College of the Holy Cross for its Women’s Excellence Endowment. Elsewhere, grants to the Child Mind Institute and Interface Children and Family Services show support for mental health training, trauma treatment, and violence-response services. The foundation’s pattern is not broad-based small grantmaking; it favors discrete, higher-dollar awards with named projects and multi-year follow-through.
Education appears in several forms. The University of San Diego received grants for the J.D. Power Family Bridge to Success initiative, middle-income scholarships, and the J.D. Power summer internship program, while Nativity School of Worcester was supported for its campaign and scholarship fund. College of the Holy Cross also received funding for the Women’s Excellence Endowment. Youth mental health is another clear thread. Child Mind Institute grants supported critical solutions in the youth mental health crisis and nationwide trainings for educators and mental health professionals. Interface Children and Family Services received support for mental health and trauma treatment services, then later for support for victims of violence. The foundation also backs disability and health-related work through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Southern California & Nevada Chapter for the Research Workforce Cohort and MS Navigator funding, and Children’s Hospital Corporation for developing CNP’s prenatal and transition programs.

Highly concentrated, very few grants but very large amounts; repeat multi-million-dollar grants to a small set of recipients rather than many small grantees.
Notable grantees: Fidelity Charitable (donor-advised fund support), National Coast Guard Museum Association, Inc., Capital campaign / national maritime museum initiatives
Typical grant size sits at $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $100,000 at the 75th percentile, though the recent record also includes much larger capital and institutional grants. The pattern is repeat giving: several recipients appear across multiple years, including Fidelity Charitable, the National Coast Guard Museum Association Inc, Nativity School of Worcester Inc, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Southern California & Nevada Chapter, Children’s Hospital Corporation, Child Mind Institute, University of San Diego, and Interface Children and Family Services. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it funds individuals. No application process is shown in the provided data.
Grants are concentrated in the United States, with all recorded recent grants going to U.S. recipients. California is the top state by grant count, and named recipients there include Los Angeles, San Diego, Camarillo, Ventura, and Simi Valley. Other recurring locations include Boston and Worcester in Massachusetts, New London in Connecticut, and New York City. The recent record shows a regional reach rather than a local Washington focus, with 0% of grants going to recipients in the headquarters state.
Recent grants support museum capital campaigns, scholarships, internships, youth mental health training, trauma treatment, disability-related services, and health programs. Examples include the National Coast Guard Museum Association Inc for the museum construction campaign, the University of San Diego for scholarships and internships, and the Child Mind Institute for youth mental health training.
Yes. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Fidelity Charitable in 2024 and 2025, the National Coast Guard Museum Association Inc from 2023 through 2025, Nativity School of Worcester Inc in 2023 through 2025, and Child Mind Institute, Interface Children and Family Services, and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Southern California & Nevada Chapter across multiple years.
The grant-size distribution shows a 25th percentile of $25,000, a median of $50,000, and a 75th percentile of $100,000. The recent grants list also includes larger commitments such as $4,000,000 to Fidelity Charitable and $1,666,667 to the National Coast Guard Museum Association Inc.
The clearest patterns are maritime and Coast Guard museum support, philanthropic infrastructure through Fidelity Charitable, education through scholarships and internships, youth mental health services and training, and health/disability-related support such as MS Navigator funding and prenatal and transition programs at Children’s Hospital Corporation.
