The Warren A Hood Jr Family Foundation concentrates its giving into a small number of sizable grants that support medical philanthropy, higher education, and local faith-based ministry. The foundation is a major supporter of the Cleveland Clinic Philanthropy Institute (multiple gifts), while also making large one-off gifts to the University of Southern Mississippi and a Hattiesburg-area United Methodist church. Overall the pattern suggests a preference for institutional partners delivering healthcare, regional higher-education impact, and local religious community services.
Highly concentrated giving: very few, large grants totaling $1.67M; repeat multi-year or multiple grants to a single national medical institution alongside large one-time gifts to regional educational and faith-based organizations.
Warren A Hood Jr Family Foundation’s giving is marked by repeated support for the Cleveland Clinic Philanthropy Institute, including a $400,000 grant in 2025 and two prior six-figure gifts in 2024 and 2023. That pattern sits alongside substantial local support in Hattiesburg, where the foundation has funded regional institutions, faith-based organizations, and community service groups. Across the recent grants listed, its work centers on healthcare philanthropy, higher education, and religious or community institutions. The foundation’s largest recent local gifts include $300,000 to USM Foundation in 2025 and $300,000 to Parkway Heights UMC in 2024. Other awards show a broad but still highly place-based portfolio: a university foundation, a church, youth and service organizations, and several Mississippi health-related nonprofits. The overall picture is a family foundation that concentrates on a small set of institutional partners rather than many small awards, with a strong emphasis on organizations rooted in Mississippi and a recurring relationship with Cleveland Clinic Philanthropy Institute.
Healthcare philanthropy is the clearest thematic thread in the foundation’s recent grants. It gave $400,000 to Cleveland Clinic Philanthropy Institute in 2025, following $333,334 in 2024 and $333,333 in 2023, each described as support for the mission of the Philanthropy Institute. Higher education is another major area. The foundation awarded $300,000 to USM Foundation in 2025 and $20,000 in 2024, both to support the purpose of the organization, and also gave $5,000 to Millsaps College in 2025. Its local community giving includes faith-based and service organizations. Parkway Heights UMC received $300,000 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2023, while Extra Table received $15,000 in both 2024 and 2025. Christian Services Inc also received $6,000 in 2024 and 2025.
Typical grant size is $5,000 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $20,000 at the 75th percentile, though the foundation also makes occasional large gifts of $300,000 and above. The recent record shows repeated support to several recipients across multiple years, including Cleveland Clinic Philanthropy Institute, USM Foundation, Parkway Heights UMC, Extra Table, Pine Burr Area Council, Christian Services Inc, Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi, and Millsaps College. That points to a recurring-grant pattern rather than one-off giving. The foundation appears to operate as a family foundation, with grants made through a local, institution-focused strategy.
