The Steve and Natalee Herrig Family Foundation concentrates large, unrestricted gifts to local Southwest Florida organizations with a strong emphasis on faith-based institutions, youth/foster-care services, and community arts. Grants are often multi-million dollar and directed to a small set of recurring local partners, suggesting deep, place-based philanthropy that supports operating needs rather than narrowly restricted projects. The foundation gives to both explicitly religious organizations (Catholic campus ministry and churches) and to community service providers (child welfare, arts center), and occasionally funds other charitable vehicles. Their support appears aimed at strengthening community institutions in Bradenton/SW Florida rather than broad national initiatives.
The Steve and Natalee Herrig Family Foundation Inc. is marked by a $5,000,000 general grant to Newman Catholic Campus in 2025, paired with a $2,000,000 grant to Artcenter Manatee in the same year. That combination captures the foundation’s pattern of backing faith formation and local community institutions with large, unrestricted support. Across the recent grants list, the foundation also made repeated seven-figure gifts to One More Child, a child welfare organization in Lakeland, and to Bradenton and Sarasota-based faith and service organizations. The giving profile is place-based and institutional: the foundation appears to favor organizations that serve Southwest Florida communities, while also supporting a small number of faith-centered or values-aligned groups beyond the immediate area. Grant purposes are listed as general, which points to flexible support rather than project-only funding. Recent awards range from five million dollars down to smaller six-figure gifts, showing a mix of major anchor grants and continued support for selected partners.
Faith-based institutions are a clear part of the foundation’s portfolio. In 2025, it gave $1,000,000 to St Joseph's Church in Bradenton for general support, and it also gave $100,000 to Catholic Faith Appeal in Venice in both 2023 and 2025. Child welfare is another recurring area: One More Child received $600,000 in 2023, $500,000 in 2023, $550,000 in 2025, and $507,500 in 2025. Community-serving organizations also appear repeatedly. Meals on Wheels Plus of Manatee received $210,000 and $150,000 in 2023, then $120,000 and $115,000 in 2025. The foundation also supported education-related institutions, including $105,000 to St Stephen's Episcopal School in Bradenton and $125,000 to University of Notre Dame in 2023.
Typical grants cluster around a median of $20,000, with the lower quartile at $660 and the upper quartile at $100,000. The recent record shows a strong tilt toward larger unrestricted awards, including several six-figure and seven-figure gifts. Recurring support is common: One More Child, Meals on Wheels Plus of Manatee, St Joseph's Church, Catholic Faith Appeal, and Artcenter Manatee each appear in multiple years or more than once. The foundation is a family foundation, and its grants are listed as general support rather than program-specific awards. The data does not show an application process, suggesting a relationship-driven grantmaking pattern.
