The Vickrey Foundation concentrates its giving in the San Antonio area with a clear preference for faith-based education and local community institutions. Major gifts have gone to a Christian day school and a local church, but the foundation also supports higher education (a named UTSA endowment), civic green space (the San Antonio Arboretum), and veteran/family support. Their grants are generally unrestricted general support rather than project-specific funding.
Concentrated, relatively small grant portfolio focused on a handful of repeat local grantees; favors multi-year or repeat general-support grants over many small one-off awards.
Vickrey Foundation’s recent grant history is anchored by support for Arboretum San Antonio, which received $25,000 in 2025 for general support. That same general-support pattern appears across the foundation’s giving, with grants going to faith-based education, a local church, and San Antonio civic and education institutions. The foundation’s named grantees show a strong preference for organizations tied to the city’s religious and educational life, including Christian School at Castle Hills, Community Bible Church, and the Susan Landreth Endowment - Utsa. The foundation also extends support beyond those core categories into public-interest and community-focused work. Recent grants include funding for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, The Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, and Our Lady of the Lake University. The pattern suggests a locally oriented funder that mixes church and school support with selected community institutions, all through general operating gifts rather than tightly scoped project grants. Its grant list includes several repeat recipients across multiple years, showing continuity in support rather than one-off awards.
Faith-based education is a central theme in Vickrey Foundation’s giving. Christian School at Castle Hills received $20,000 in 2023, $15,000 in 2024, and $5,000 in 2025, all for general support, and Castle Hills First Baptist School received $1,200 in 2025. Religious institutions are another recurring area. Community Bible Church was awarded $15,000 in 2024, $15,000 in 2023, and $5,000 in 2025 for general support. The foundation also backs higher education and civic institutions in San Antonio. The Susan Landreth Endowment - Utsa received $20,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024, while Arboretum San Antonio received $25,000 in 2025 for general support. Local nonprofit service organizations also appear, including United Way, The Food Bank, and Meals on Wheels.
Typical grants are small to mid-sized: the p25 is $1,000, the median is $1,200, and the p75 is $5,000. The recent record also includes a few larger awards at $15,000, $20,000, and $25,000, suggesting a narrow set of higher-priority recipients alongside many smaller general-support gifts. Several organizations appear in multiple years, including Christian School at Castle Hills, Community Bible Church, Tunnel to Towers Foundation, The Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, Texas Values Action, and the Susan Landreth Endowment - Utsa. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
