About Levant Foundation
The Levant Foundation focuses its giving on large, institution-level grants primarily supporting hospital systems and medical centers, along with targeted support for higher education. Its grants are concentrated and sizable, frequently directed to healthcare providers (including institutions connected to the St. George hospital network) and to a university foundation for educational programming. The foundation appears to prioritize capacity-building for medical care and academic programs rather than many small local charities.

Giving Approach
Very concentrated giving: a small number of large grants that account for nearly all giving, including repeat grants to the same university foundation and multiple gifts tied to a specific hospital network.
About Levant Foundation
The Levant Foundation’s recent giving is shaped by very large support for hospitals and medical centers, paired with sustained funding for cultural, academic, and interfaith work tied to the Levant and the modern Arab world. Its largest recent grant, $2.5 million, went to Houston Methodist Hospital Foundation for general support, and a second major gift of $962,925 supported Saint George Hospital University Medical Center. Those awards fit a broader pattern of institution-level grants rather than many small local awards. The foundation also backs higher education in a visible way: The University of Connecticut Foundation Inc received $500,000 in both 2023 and 2025 for educational programming, suggesting repeated support for the same university channel. Beyond healthcare and universities, the foundation’s active programs include scholarly publishing, endowed academic chairs, cultural heritage restoration, and intercultural education. Grants have also gone to organizations such as the American Foundation for St George Hospital Inc and the King Baudouin Foundation US Inc, reinforcing a portfolio that mixes major medical support with targeted cultural and educational philanthropy.
What Levant Foundation Funds
Healthcare is a clear priority. The foundation gave $484,000 in 2025 to American Foundation for St George Hospital Inc for general support, and its active program list includes major hospital capital and program support as well as medical center expansion. Education is another recurring lane: The University of Connecticut Foundation Inc received $500,000 in 2025 for an educational program, while The Saint Constantine School received $250,000 in 2023 for educational programs. Cultural and scholarly work also appears throughout the portfolio. The Museum of Fine Arts Houston received $58,795 in 2025 for general support, and the foundation’s program list includes restoration of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and support for scholarly publishing through University of Texas Press. Intercultural and educational programming shows up as well, including a $35,000 event sponsorship to Adc Research Institute.
How Levant Foundation Gives
The Levant Foundation’s typical grant size is $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $200,000 at the 75th percentile, but the recent list also includes several awards above that range. Giving appears concentrated rather than broad-based: the same organizations recur, including The University of Connecticut Foundation Inc in 2023 and 2025 and UNICEF USA in 2023 and 2025. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it funds individuals as well as organizations; one recent scholarship grant went to Carla R Salem. Public-facing program descriptions and recent award patterns both suggest directed, non-open grantmaking rather than an unsolicited application process.
