The Warren J Studt Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving on child-focused, faith-affiliated social services and pediatric healthcare. Its grants are directed mostly to religiously-affiliated charities and hospitals that serve children, providing unrestricted/general operating support. The foundation makes relatively few but substantial gifts and tends to fund the same organizations repeatedly.
Concentrated giving: a small number of sizeable grants split evenly among a few repeat grantees; primarily unrestricted/general operating support rather than project-restricted funding.
Warren J Studt Charitable Fdn Trust centers its giving on child-focused religious and healthcare institutions, with repeated general operating support to a small set of organizations. The latest grants show a clear pattern: Shriners Hospitals for Children in Tampa, Catholic Charities of St Louis, and Evangelical Childrens Home in Saint Louis each received substantial unrestricted awards in consecutive years. That combination points to a funder that prioritizes core capacity over project-specific funding. The trust’s support reaches both pediatric medical care and faith-affiliated child welfare services, linking children’s health needs with family and social service programs. The recent record also shows repetition rather than one-off giving, with the same grantees appearing across 2023 and 2024 at similar amounts. In practice, the foundation’s role appears to be steady institutional support for organizations serving children through hospital care, children’s homes, and Catholic charity services. Its grantmaking is regional and entirely U.S.-based, with no grants shown to Wisconsin recipients in the recent data.
In pediatric healthcare, the trust gave $69,836 in 2023 and $61,651 in 2024 to Shriners Hospitals for Children in Tampa for general operating support. In faith-based child welfare, it made the same two-year pattern of support to Evangelical Childrens Home in Saint Louis, also for general operating use. Catholic Charities of St Louis received comparable unrestricted awards in both 2023 and 2024, indicating support for religiously affiliated social service work serving families and children. Across these grants, the recurring thread is core funding rather than restricted program grants, with the trust backing institutional operations for organizations tied to child services, children’s care, and family support.
The trust’s typical grant size is tightly clustered: p25 is $61,651, median is $65,744, and p75 is $69,836. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations in consecutive years, which suggests recurring rather than one-time relationships. Grantmaking is limited in number but substantial in size, and the foundation uses general operating support exclusively in the recent grants listed. It does not make program-related investments and does not fund individuals.
