About American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities
American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities Inc directs nearly all of its grantmaking to one institution: St Jude Children's Research Hospital Inc in Memphis, with the two largest recent awards both designated for operational and capital budget needs. That pattern fits the organization’s stated purpose of raising the funds and awareness needed to operate and maintain St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital so no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay. The foundation’s recent record shows very large support at scale rather than a broad spread of small awards. In 2024 it gave $1,367,277,418 to St Jude Children's Research Hospital Inc, following a $1,083,764,954 grant in 2023. Both grants were made in Memphis and both carried the same support description, linking the funder’s work directly to the hospital’s operating and capital needs. Its focus areas align around pediatric cancer, childhood catastrophic diseases, medical research, patient treatment and support, and fundraising and awareness. The grant history and program descriptions point to a funder built around sustaining St. Jude’s research and care mission over time.
What American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities Funds
Pediatric cancer and childhood catastrophic disease work sit at the center of this funder’s mission. The foundation’s stated purpose is to raise the funds and awareness needed to operate and maintain St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and its focus areas include pediatric cancer, childhood catastrophic diseases, medical research, and patient treatment and support. Its active program descriptions show how that mission extends beyond one hospital. St. Jude Global supports research collaborations, capacity-building, and technical assistance for children with cancer and life-threatening diseases worldwide, including work in low- and middle-income countries. That makes research collaboration a distinct part of the organization’s portfolio. Fundraising is also a defined cause area. Ángeles de Esperanza / Partner in Hope and Promesa y Esperanza / Promise and Hope are donor-mobilization programs tied to monthly giving and broadcast fundraising, while Thanks and Giving® is an annual consumer campaign with retail partners and celebrities.
How American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities Gives
The typical grant size is very large: the p25 is $1,154,643,070, the median is $1,225,521,186, and the p75 is $1,296,399,302. Recent awards are concentrated in a narrow band around that level, and the two largest grants both supported operational and capital budget needs. The pattern is recurring rather than one-off. The same recipient appears in consecutive years, and both grants on file were made to the same Memphis institution. American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities Inc is classified as a regular funder, and its philosophy tags emphasize general operating support, capital project funding, organizational sustainability, and infrastructure/capital improvements. The active programs also include donor-driven fundraising channels alongside collaborative research support.
