The Wynn Foundation concentrates on a small set of relatively large, unrestricted gifts that support military and first-responder causes alongside elite private K–12 education in the Los Angeles area. They favor direct, flexible funding rather than project-specific grants and repeatedly support a handful of organizations. The giving reflects a local/regional focus (Woodland Hills/Los Angeles) with an emphasis on veteran support, military family housing, and memorializing law enforcement.
Concentrated giving: a small number of sizable, unrestricted grants with repeat awards to the same core grantees rather than many one-off, small donations.
Wynn Foundation gives in a pattern of repeated, unrestricted support to a small group of recipients, with several grants appearing across multiple years. The largest recent award in the record was $28,105 to the Los Angeles Police Memorial Foundation for unrestricted use, followed by repeated $25,000 grants to Viewpoint School and $25,000 grants to the same memorial foundation in later years. That combination points to a funder that favors flexible support for law-enforcement memorial work and private education rather than one-off project funding. The foundation’s recent grants also show steady backing for military and first-responder related organizations. Homes for Our Troops, Fisher House Foundation Inc, and Seal Legacy Foundation each appear in the record, with grants sized from $8,294 to $18,000. On the education side, the foundation supports Viewpoint School in Calabasas and, in a smaller but explicit restricted gift, The University of Texas at Austin for kinesiology and health education. Overall, the record shows a regional grantmaker that mixes a few larger, recurring awards with smaller annual gifts to national charities.
Law enforcement memorial and support work is one clear theme. Wynn Foundation gave $28,105 to Los Angeles Police Memorial Foundation for unrestricted use in 2023, then followed with $25,000 unrestricted grants in 2024 and 2025. The same flexible approach appears in its support for military-family service organizations: Homes for Our Troops received $18,000 in 2023, and Fisher House Foundation Inc received $18,000 in 2023 and $14,175 in 2024, both for unrestricted use. Education is another recurring line of giving. Viewpoint School in Calabasas received $25,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, all unrestricted. The foundation also made smaller educational gifts to Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and The University of Texas at Austin, including a $500 restricted-use gift designated for kinesiology and health education. Across these areas, the pattern is broad support rather than tightly program-specific project funding.
Typical grant sizes cluster around a modest core with a few larger gifts: the p25 is $1,200, the median is $14,175, and the p75 is $25,000. The record also includes smaller annual gifts of $600, $500, and $250, alongside repeated awards at the upper end of the range. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Los Angeles Police Memorial Foundation, Viewpoint School, Fisher House Foundation Inc, Seal Legacy Foundation, Michael J Fox Foundation, and No Kid Hungry. Grants are mostly unrestricted, with one restricted-use gift designation in the record. Wynn Foundation is not a funder of individuals and is not shown making program-related investments.
