The Schauble Family Foundation concentrates large gifts to a very small set of institutions, primarily supporting education and sustainability-related work. They fund both elite higher education (Harvard) and local independent schools (Marin Academy), alongside a major environmental advocacy/education organization (Ceres), suggesting an interest in combining academic institutions with climate and sustainability engagement. Their grants are sizable and targeted rather than broadly dispersed, with multiple repeat awards to the same organizations.
Very concentrated giving: a small number of large gifts, often repeated to the same grantees, blending local K–12 philanthropy with major national higher-education and environmental grantees.
The Schauble Family Foundation’s largest recent gifts go to a small cluster of education and sustainability institutions, led by a $1,197,818 grant to Harvard College in 2024 and a $1,019,029 grant to Ceres in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that concentrates capital rather than spreading it broadly, with repeated support for the same organizations across years. Alongside those flagship gifts, the foundation also backed Marin Academy with $500,000 in 2024 and made a $300,000 grant to Probable Futures, showing interest in both school-based learning and climate-related public education. The grant list includes other recurring relationships as well. Ceres received another $1,010,000 in 2024, while Harvard College received a second $500,000 award in 2025. Smaller awards extend the same mix into community, environmental, and educational work, including grants to organizations in California, Massachusetts, and New York. The overall profile is of a family foundation that gives selective, program-focused support to a limited number of named institutions rather than a broad portfolio of many grantees.
Education is a major theme in the foundation’s recent giving. Harvard College received $1,197,818 in 2024 and another $500,000 in 2025, while The New School received $50,000 in 2024. The foundation also supported teaching and student pipeline work with $10,000 to Teach for America - Bay Area and $10,000 to Seo Scholars. Environmental and land-focused grants appear alongside those education gifts. Ceres received $1,019,029 in 2025 and $1,010,000 in 2024, and Environmental Defense Fund received $50,000 in 2024 plus $25,000 in 2025. The foundation also backed Marin Argricultural Land Trust with $10,000 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2025, plus $5,000 to Vermont Land Trust. Community-oriented and local support rounds out the portfolio. Marin Academy received $500,000 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2025, while Spur received $25,000 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2025.
Grant sizes are wide but centered on larger checks: the typical grant is $5,000 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent list shows both one-time and repeat awards, with multiple organizations funded across 2024 and 2025, including Harvard College, Ceres, Marin Academy, Spur, and Sf Marin Food Bank. The foundation is classified as a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
