About Alletta Morris Mcbean Charitable Trust
The Alletta Morris McBean Charitable Trust concentrates substantial, targeted gifts to civic institutions in the Newport/Rhode Island community, favoring capital projects, endowments, and program launches that strengthen local health, social services, arts, and historic preservation. Grants are used to establish facilities and financial stability (inpatient behavioral health unit, capital campaigns, reserve funds, restoration plans) as well as direct service supports like hunger relief and scholarships. Though the trustee is based in California, the grant pattern shows a strong geographic focus on Newport-area organizations and a preference for transformative, one-off major awards.

About Alletta Morris Mcbean Charitable Trust
Aquidneck Island and Newport County are the center of Alletta Morris Mcbean Charitable Trust’s giving, and the pattern is strongly capital-focused. The trust repeatedly backs projects that change an institution’s physical footprint or long-term finances: endowment challenges, facility construction, restoration plans, reserve funds, and major equipment purchases. In Newport, one of its largest recent gifts went to The Martin Luther King Community Center Inc for a matching challenge tied to the Building Hope capital campaign and hunger relief and wellness programming. Another major award supported Newport Hospital Foundation Inc to purchase a second CT scanner for the hospital’s emergency department. The trust also funds community anchors that serve children, patients, and residents across health, arts, education, and preservation. Recent awards show it is willing to make seven-figure commitments to a single place-based project, while still supporting programs such as scholarship funds, expanded access centers, and operating support for arts organizations. Although the trustee is in California, the grant pattern is concentrated in Rhode Island communities, especially Newport-area institutions.
What Alletta Morris Mcbean Charitable Trust Funds
Health and mental health are recurring themes. The trust gave $500,000 to Newport Hospital Foundation Inc to establish an adolescent behavioral health inpatient unit at Newport Hospital, and $250,000 to Newport County Community Mental Health Center Inc for the Building Hope, Rebuilding Lives mission expansion campaign in support of a new community access center. Education and youth programs also appear in the grant record: Oliver Hazard Perry Rhode Island received $250,000 for a new Aquidneck Island 9th grade ocean access program, and Newport County YMCA received $150,000 for a childcare renovation and expansion project. Historic preservation is another clear thread. The trust awarded $400,000 to Salve Regina University for the Ochre Court Terrace restoration plan and the Michael Semenza Scholarship Fund, and $160,000 to St John the Evangelist for stained-glass window restoration over the high altar.
How Alletta Morris Mcbean Charitable Trust Gives
Typical awards cluster at a major-gift level, with a p25 of $25,000, a median of $50,000, and a p75 of $115,000. The trust’s recent record includes many larger, one-off project grants, including several in the $250,000 to $825,000 range. The grant program is open to nonprofit organizations and accepts unsolicited proposals; trustees meet twice a year or semi-annually depending on the program description. The available data points to project, capital, and operating support rather than a recurring grant schedule, and the recent awards do not show the same recipient repeated across multiple years in a way that suggests a formal multi-year grant cycle.
