The Westmeath Foundation concentrates its giving into a very small number of large awards focused on inclusive community recreation and school-choice scholarship support. It has provided repeat, significant funding to an all-abilities playground initiative and a multi-hundred-thousand dollar scholarship fund serving K–12 students in Colorado and New Mexico. The pattern suggests targeted, impact-oriented gifts rather than broad-based grantmaking.
Westmeath Foundation’s most distinctive pattern is a repeat, six-figure commitment to Tibbetts All Ability Park in Farmington, New Mexico. In 2024, it made two separate $500,000 grants to the project through Tibbetts All Ability Park Foundation and Boundless Adventures All Abilities Park, placing inclusive recreation at the center of its public giving record. That same project focus sits alongside another major line of support: a large scholarship fund for K–12 students in Colorado and New Mexico, awarded through Alliance for Choice in Education. The foundation’s recent record also shows support for capital projects and service delivery in communities tied to western Colorado and northwestern New Mexico, including family services, therapeutic retreats, and children’s health programs. Its giving is not broad and diffuse; it is concentrated in a small set of recurring priorities, with several organizations receiving multiple awards across different years. The result is a grantmaking profile that reads as targeted and programmatic, with sizable awards used to advance a limited number of clearly defined community goals.
In school-choice support, Westmeath Foundation gave $450,000 in 2025 to Alliance for Choice in Education for a scholarship fund for K–12 students in Colorado and New Mexico, after a $200,000 award in 2024 for the same purpose. It also backed San Juan College Foundation with $110,000 in 2025 for a scholarship fund and emergency funding for the SJC Foundation and Achieving the Dream program. Health-related giving appears in several forms. Childrens Hospital Colorado received $250,000 in 2025 for mental health support and $209,522 in 2025 for a telehealth initiative with Pediatric Partners of the Southwest. The foundation also supported University of New Mexico Foundation Incorporated with $188,036 in 2023 and $182,980 in 2024 for a maternal fetal medicine outreach clinic in Farmington, New Mexico. Community and family support shows up in grants to Presbyterian Medical Services for a family resource center and to Family Homestead for transitional housing.
Westmeath Foundation’s typical grant size sits at $5,000 at the 25th percentile, $15,000 at the median, and $25,000 at the 75th percentile, but the recent record includes much larger project awards, including $500,000 gifts. The pattern is highly repeat-oriented: several grantees appear across multiple years, including Childrens Hospital Colorado, Alliance for Choice in Education, A Sanctuary for Military Families Inc, Igw Childrens Hope Foundation Inc, Family Homestead, Catholic Health Initiatives Colorado Foundation, and University of New Mexico Foundation Incorporated. The foundation funds individuals and makes no program-related investments. The awards shown are primarily general support, operating support, scholarship funding, and project-specific capital or equipment funding.

Highly concentrated giving: few, large grants with repeat support to the same grantee (two grants to Tibbetts All Ability Park). Funding is targeted to specific projects (capital/operational) and geographic priorities rather than distributed across many small recipients.
Notable grantees: Tibbetts All Ability Park Foundation, Alliance for Choice in Education
Westmeath Foundation’s giving reaches only U.S. recipients in the data, with the greatest concentration in New Mexico. Farmington appears repeatedly, including grants tied to inclusive recreation, family services, youth programming, and scholarships. Colorado is also prominent, with Denver, Greenwood Village, Granby, and Durango appearing in the recent grants list. Other in-state recipients include Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, and Centennial. The pattern points to a regional focus centered on northwestern New Mexico and Colorado rather than the foundation’s headquarters city.
The recent grants show a strong emphasis on inclusive recreation, K–12 scholarships, child and family health services, and community support programs. Examples include a $500,000 grant for Tibbetts All Ability Park, a $450,000 scholarship fund for K–12 students in Colorado and New Mexico, and grants for telehealth, maternal-fetal medicine, transitional housing, and family services.
Yes. Several organizations appear in multiple years, including Childrens Hospital Colorado, Alliance for Choice in Education, A Sanctuary for Military Families Inc, Igw Childrens Hope Foundation Inc, Family Homestead, Catholic Health Initiatives Colorado Foundation, and University of New Mexico Foundation Incorporated. That suggests a recurring relationship with a limited group of grantees.
The grant-size distribution is $5,000 at the 25th percentile, $15,000 at the median, and $25,000 at the 75th percentile. The foundation also makes much larger awards, including several grants in the $200,000 to $500,000 range.
The top state by grant count is New Mexico. Farmington appears especially often, along with Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Colorado is also a major recipient state, with grants to Denver, Greenwood Village, Granby, Durango, Aurora, and Centennial.
The recent grants include general and unrestricted support, operating support, scholarship funding, emergency student funding, project-specific capital and equipment funding, and program expansion. Examples in the data show awards for scholarships, family services, mental health, telehealth, transitional housing, and recreation infrastructure.
