The Thomas and Agnes Carvel Foundation focuses its philanthropy on local healthcare institutions, providing significant unrestricted support to community hospitals. Its giving appears targeted and place-based, backing core operational needs rather than specific programs or capital projects.
Highly concentrated: a single large, unrestricted grant to one local hospital—indicating preference for major, one-off support to a flagship community health provider rather than many small or diversified grants.
The Thomas and Agnes Carvel Foundation’s recent giving is defined by large unrestricted support to local healthcare institutions, with St Joseph's Medical Center in Yonkers receiving $400,000 in 2024. That kind of grant points to a funder that backs operating strength rather than tightly scoped projects. Westchester health providers appear repeatedly in the record, including Blythedale Children's Hospital, Westchester Medical Center Foundation, Burke Rehab, and Afya Foundation, all receiving unrestricted support across multiple years. The pattern suggests a place-based strategy centered on community hospitals and nearby service organizations, especially in and around Yonkers and Westchester County. The foundation’s grant list also shows that its support reaches beyond one organization type. Alongside healthcare institutions, it has funded education, youth, and community-serving nonprofits in the same local region and beyond. Grants to Westchester Community College Foundation, Cristo Rey High School, and Hour Children show a broader civic footprint, while still keeping the emphasis on flexible support. Across the recent record, the foundation favors general operating grants, often at meaningful six-figure or five-figure levels, and uses that flexibility to support institutions that serve local residents directly.
Healthcare is the clearest thread in the foundation’s recent giving. In 2024, it gave $400,000 to St Joseph's Medical Center for unrestricted support, and it also provided $50,000 grants to Blythedale Children's Hospital and Westchester Medical Center Foundation. Those awards reinforce a focus on acute care and hospital infrastructure. The foundation also supports education and youth-serving organizations. Westchester Community College Foundation received $60,000 in 2024 and $60,000 in 2026, while Cristo Rey High School received $50,000 in 2026. Maria Regina High School and Preston High School also appear in the grant record. Community and social-service organizations are another part of the portfolio. Westhab received $130,000 in 2024, and Hour Children, Cardinal Mccloskey Services, and Partners in Help each received unrestricted support. The foundation’s grants also extend to cultural and community institutions such as Hudson River Museum of Westchester and Aisling Irish Community Center.

Notable grantees: St Joseph's Medical Center
The typical grant size is $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $15,000 at the median, and $20,000 at the 75th percentile, but the recent record also includes much larger unrestricted awards such as $400,000 to St Joseph's Medical Center. The pattern is highly recurring: several recipients appear in multiple years, including Westchester Community College Foundation, Westchester Arc, Blythedale Children's Hospital, Hudson River Museum of Westchester, Afya Foundation, and Burke Rehab. The foundation is a regular funder rather than a DAF, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. The grants shown are unrestricted, which points to flexible operating support rather than project-specific awards.
