This foundation primarily makes large, unrestricted grants aimed at sustaining operations, splitting its giving between direct support to a local residential service provider and sizable contributions routed through a donor-advised fund. Its funding is concentrated and strategic rather than broadly distributed, with repeated multi-year support for the same recipients. The pattern suggests a preference for flexible general operating support over program-specific grants.
Highly concentrated: a small number of large, repeat grants (four to a donor-advised fund and two to a local residential service provider), favoring unrestricted gifts rather than many small or project‑specific awards.
The Susanna Iacovelli Charitable Foundation Inc Fka Peter and Karen channels much of its giving through Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund, with four large unrestricted contributions of $410,000, $395,500, $306,000, and $274,500 across 2023 to 2025. That pattern points to a foundation that uses donor-advised fund support as a major part of its grantmaking, while also maintaining direct relationships with select operating nonprofits. The largest direct recipient in the recent grants list is Alabaster House in Piedmont, South Carolina, which received unrestricted support in both 2024 and 2025. The foundation also made repeated unrestricted grants to Miracle Hill Ministries in Greenville, along with support for St Joseph's Catholic School, Project Hope Foundation, and Friends of Karen. Its giving is steady across years rather than isolated to a single cycle, and the same organizations often appear more than once, usually for general operations. The result is a concentrated grantmaking profile built around flexible support for organizations that appear to be part of the foundation's ongoing philanthropic circle.
A clear theme in the recent grants is unrestricted operating support. The foundation gave $157,254 in 2024 and $85,292 in 2025 to Alabaster House for general operations, and it also supported Miracle Hill Ministries with multiple unrestricted grants, including $38,000 in 2025 and $35,000 in 2023. Another recurring thread is support for education and youth-serving institutions: St Joseph's Catholic School received $45,000 in both 2023 and 2024, while Christian Learning Center of Greenville County received $22,500 in 2023. Community-facing service organizations also appear in the record. Favor Greenville received $28,099 in 2023 and $27,000 in 2024, and Meals on Wheels received $24,000 in 2025, both as unrestricted contributions.
Typical grants cluster in the low five figures, with a p25 of $3,666, a median of $12,000, and a p75 of $23,250. The pattern is split between a handful of very large transfers and many smaller operating grants. Repeated awards to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025 show that this is not purely one-off giving. The foundation is also a funder of individuals and does not make program-related investments. The recent record points to flexible support rather than tightly restricted project funding, with unrestricted language appearing throughout the grant list.
