The Roy E Hock and Elizabeth C Hock Foundation concentrates its giving on a small number of sizeable, unrestricted support grants focused primarily in the Philadelphia region. Their portfolio mixes faith‑based social service support, historic preservation/cultural sites, and child health care — often funding established local institutions and repeating support to preferred grantees.
The Roy E Hock and Elizabeth C Hock Foundation has made Whosoever Gospel Mission a recurring anchor of its giving, including $100,000 in both 2024 and 2025 after a $40,000 grant in 2023. That pattern fits a foundation that favors a small number of substantial support grants, usually to established institutions in the Philadelphia area. Its recent grants also include major support for Wyck Historic House & Garden and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, showing a portfolio that moves between faith-based social service, cultural preservation, and pediatric care. The grants listed are all in the United States, and nearly all land in Pennsylvania, especially Philadelphia. The foundation’s work is not broad or diffuse. Instead, it repeatedly returns to preferred grantees and tends to fund support rather than highly specific project line items. In the recent record, The Roy E Hock and Elizabeth C Hock Foundation backed churches, missions, a historic house museum, a school, and a hospital, all with grants sized for meaningful operating support. That mix suggests a donor profile shaped by long-term relationships with local nonprofits and by interest in institutions that serve both community needs and regional heritage.
Faith-based homeless recovery is one clear thread. The Roy E Hock and Elizabeth C Hock Foundation gave $100,000 to Whosoever Gospel Mission in 2025 for support, matching a $100,000 grant in 2024 and following earlier support of $40,000 in 2023. Historic preservation is another priority. In 2025, they gave $100,000 to Wyck Historic House & Garden for support and $50,000 to Cliveden of the National Trust for support, both in Philadelphia. The foundation also supports pediatric care. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia received $90,000 in 2025 after prior support of $35,000 in 2024 and $30,000 in 2023. In education and community-based institutions, Germantown Friends School and The First Presbyterian Church Germantown also appear in the recent grant record.
Typical grant size centers on mid-five-figure awards: the distribution is $15,000 at the 25th percentile, $25,000 at the median, and $45,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Whosoever Gospel Mission, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, The First Presbyterian Church Germantown, and Find Inc. Grants are listed as support, indicating a general-support style rather than tightly designated project funding. The foundation also appears to work through a concentrated, relationship-based pattern rather than a broad application pipeline.

Highly concentrated: few, relatively large grants (several five‑figure and one six‑figure awards), repeat funding to select local organizations, primarily general/support grants rather than restricted program funding.
Notable grantees: Whosoever Gospel Mission, Wyck Historic House & Garden, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Cliveden of the National Trust
Giving is strongly concentrated in Pennsylvania: 90% of grants go to recipients in the foundation’s HQ state. Philadelphia dominates the recent record, with repeated grants to institutions there including Whosoever Gospel Mission, Wyck Historic House & Garden, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and Cliveden of the National Trust. A small number of grants reach beyond Pennsylvania, including Williamsburg Presbyterian Church in Williamsburg, Virginia; Phoenixville Women’s Outreach in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania; and Autism Moms of Houston in Houston, Texas. All recent grants are to U.S. recipients.
Recent grants show support for faith-based homeless recovery and urban mission work, historic house museums and garden preservation, pediatric health care, churches, and a school. Examples include Whosoever Gospel Mission, Wyck Historic House & Garden, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, The First Presbyterian Church Germantown, and Germantown Friends School.
Yes. Several recipients appear in multiple years: Whosoever Gospel Mission received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025; Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in 2023, 2024, and 2025; The First Presbyterian Church Germantown in 2023, 2024, and 2025; and Find Inc in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
The typical award sits in the mid-five-figure range. The 25th percentile is $15,000, the median is $25,000, and the 75th percentile is $45,000. Recent grants also include larger support gifts such as $100,000 and $90,000.
Pennsylvania is the main geography for grantmaking, accounting for 90% of grants in the recent record. Philadelphia is the clearest city focus, with multiple grants to organizations there across social services, heritage sites, faith institutions, and health care.
The recent grant list labels the awards as support, and the foundation’s pattern is consistent with general operating or broad institutional support. That approach appears across mission organizations, hospitals, churches, and historic preservation groups.
