The Tuthill Family Foundation makes a small number of relatively large, targeted grants focused primarily on residential supports for adults with disabilities and on sustaining community music performance and education. Their giving is concentrated—two-thirds of dollars supported one disability services provider through repeat awards, with the remainder directed to a historic music hall’s programming. The pattern suggests strategic, relationship-driven support rather than broad, diversified grantmaking.
The Tuthill Family Foundation’s clearest pattern is long-running support for residential services for adults with disabilities, anchored by repeat awards to Our Place in Dover, New Hampshire. Those grants sit alongside substantial support for music institutions, especially Troy Savings Bank Music Hall Inc. in Troy, New York, which received the largest recent award at $50,000 in 2025. The foundation’s giving reads as selective and relationship-based: a small number of organizations receive multiple grants, often across consecutive years, and the purposes are narrowly defined. Its portfolio includes residential needs of disabled adults, music performance and education, food and shelter services, mental health supports, and civic or preservation work. In practice, that has meant funding direct-service providers such as Upper Valley Haven and West Central Behavioral Health, while also backing cultural and community institutions like the Albany Symphony Orchestra and Kensington Universalist Society. The result is a grantmaking profile that balances human services with arts and place-based institutions, rather than spreading support broadly across many fields.
In disability services, the foundation gave $35,000 in 2024 and $20,000 in 2025 to Our Place Inc. in Dover, New Hampshire, both for residential needs of disabled adults. That repeated support is the foundation’s most defined programmatic thread. Arts funding is another clear lane. Troy Savings Bank Music Hall Inc. in Troy, New York, received $11,000 in 2024 and $7,500 in 2023 for music and education programming, and the Albany Symphony Orchestra in Albany received $12,500 in 2024 and $6,250 in 2023 for promotion of musical heritage. The foundation also made direct-service grants for basic needs. Upper Valley Haven in White River Junction received $10,000 in 2024 and $9,000 in 2025 for food, shelter, and education for homeless people. In mental health, West Central Behavioral Health in Lebanon was funded for community mental health support in 2024 and 2025.
Typical awards are small by foundation standards: the 25th percentile is $1,562, the median is $3,750, and the 75th percentile is $5,938. Despite that distribution, several recent grants reached $20,000 to $50,000, showing that the foundation uses a mix of modest and larger targeted awards. The grant history shows repeat support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Our Place Inc., Troy Savings Bank Music Hall Inc., Upper Valley Haven, West Central Behavioral Health, Cross Roads House, and the Albany Symphony Orchestra. The foundation is a family foundation; it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
