The Stagman Foundation concentrates its giving on a mix of high-profile athletics philanthropy and Catholic faith-based institutions. The single largest commitment supports national Olympic and Paralympic efforts, while a substantial share of remaining grants are repeat gifts to a local Catholic parish and Catholic schools/universities, plus some healthcare-related philanthropy. Overall the foundation appears to prioritize community-serving institutions that combine faith, education, healthcare, and athletics.
A $1.5 million grant to the US Olympic & Paralympic Foundation stands out as the largest recent commitment from The Stagman Foundation, and it sets the tone for a grantmaker that pairs athletics philanthropy with Catholic institutional support. Beyond that major gift, the foundation has made repeated awards to American Martyrs Catholic Community in Manhattan Beach and to Catholic schools and universities, indicating sustained support for faith-based organizations rather than one-off transactions. The recent record also shows healthcare philanthropy through Providence Little Company of Mary Foundation in Torrance, plus smaller gifts to a mix of community organizations. Across the file, grants are generally described as contributions “to charitable purposes,” which suggests broad, flexible support rather than tightly restricted program funding. The foundation’s giving profile includes both large-scale commitments and many modest grants, with recipients ranging from national sports philanthropy to parish ministries, higher education, and local community nonprofits. The pattern is shaped by repeat support: several organizations appear in multiple years, including American Martyrs Catholic Community, Saint Peter’s University, Widener University, and Archbishop Wood High School.
Athletics is one clear thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2023, The Stagman Foundation gave $1,500,000 to the US Olympic & Paralympic Foundation for charitable purposes, anchoring its support for national Olympic and Paralympic efforts. Catholic education appears repeatedly as well. It awarded $33,917 to Widener University in 2023 and then followed with $5,000 grants in both 2024 and 2025, while Saint Peter’s University received $10,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Parish and school support also shows up in California and Pennsylvania, including $21,450 to American Martyrs Catholic Community in 2025 and $6,750 to Verbum Dei Jesuit High School in 2023. Healthcare-related giving includes $27,000 grants in both 2023 and 2024 to Providence Little Company of Mary Foundation in Torrance.
Typical grant sizes are modest, with a p25 of $500, a median of $1,000, and a p75 of $10,000. The spread is wide because the foundation combines one very large athletics commitment with many smaller charitable gifts. Repeat awards are common: several recipients appear across multiple years, including American Martyrs Catholic Community, Saint Peter’s University, Widener University, Archbishop Wood High School, Providence Little Company of Mary Foundation, and Best Friends Animal Society. The grants are framed as support “to contribute to charitable purposes,” which points to flexible, likely unrestricted giving rather than tightly specified project grants. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.

Concentrated overall: one very large, one-off gift dominates total dollars to a national athletics fund, with the remainder consisting of mid- to small-size, recurring grants to Catholic parish, K–12 and higher education institutions and a Catholic healthcare foundation.
Notable grantees: US Olympic & Paralympic Foundation, American Martyrs Catholic Community, Providence Little Company of Mary Foundation, Saint Peter's University, Rose Bowl Legacy Foundation
The foundation gives nationally, with every recorded recipient in the US. California appears most often in the grant list, including recipients in Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Pasadena, Los Angeles, Culver City, and Clermont. Pennsylvania is another frequent destination, especially Chester, Warminster, Lansdale, and nearby locations. Outside those states, grants also reached New Jersey, Florida, Minnesota, Tennessee, and Utah. Only 2% of grants went to recipients in Colorado, despite the foundation’s Denver headquarters.
Its recent grants show a mix of athletics philanthropy and Catholic institutions. The largest gift went to the US Olympic & Paralympic Foundation, while repeated support went to American Martyrs Catholic Community, Widener University, Saint Peter’s University, and Archbishop Wood High School.
Yes. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including American Martyrs Catholic Community in 2023, 2024, and 2025; Saint Peter’s University in all three years; Widener University in 2023, 2024, and 2025; and Archbishop Wood High School in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
The distribution centers on smaller awards: p25 is $500, median grant size is $1,000, and p75 is $10,000. That pattern sits alongside a much larger outlier grant of $1,500,000 to the US Olympic & Paralympic Foundation.
Its grants are national, but California is the top state by grant count. Recent California recipients include organizations in Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Pasadena, Los Angeles, Culver City, and Clermont.
