About Tres Grace Family Foundation
The Tres Grace Family Foundation makes very large, infrequent grants focused on health-related organizations and broad multi-recipient distributions. Their giving is concentrated (only four grants totaling $23.5M), with a flagship, multi‑million gift to a children’s hospital and several large, unspecified disbursements labeled “Various Organizations.” The pattern suggests strategic, high-dollar support for a small set of causes—particularly pediatric health—and use of block or pass-through grants to multiple beneficiaries.
