The Casey 4522 Foundation concentrates its modest giving on local faith-based institutions and community safety-net services in the Springfield/Annandale, VA area. A large share of support goes to Catholic parish life and parish school operations, with smaller gifts to disability-related services and neighborhood Christian social service organizations. Grants are made for general operating support, indicating trust in grantee-led priorities rather than project-restricted funding.
Concentrated, local giving with a few relatively large general‑operating grants; repeat support to the same parish ecosystem and occasional gifts to nearby social-service and disability organizations.
Casey 4522 Foundation’s giving is anchored by repeated support for Queen of Apostles Catholic Church, including a $24,800 grant in 2024 and a $16,000 grant in 2025 for general operations. That pattern points to a funder that sustains parish institutions over time rather than making one-time project awards. Across the recent grants list, the foundation also backs Catholic school operations, local social service ministries, and disability-related charities, with most awards staying in Northern Virginia. The grants are mostly modest, and the same organizations often reappear in more than one year, suggesting ongoing relationships with a small set of grantees. Recent support includes Queen of Apostles Catholic School in Alexandria for general operations, along with Annandale Christian Community for Action and several other faith-based service providers in Fairfax County. The foundation’s portfolio is concentrated in core operating support, which fits a model of helping grantees cover baseline institutional costs rather than funding restricted programs. Its overall scale is small, but the pattern of repeated awards shows a consistent local grantmaking footprint.
Catholic parish and school support is a central theme. In 2025, the foundation gave $15,000 to Queen of Apostles Catholic School in Alexandria for general operations, following support for Queen of Apostles Catholic Church in both 2024 and 2025. That mix shows attention to parish life and parish-based education. It also funds local safety-net and emergency assistance work. Annandale Christian Community for Action received $8,000 in 2025 for general operations, and Assist Pregnancy Resource Center received $5,000 in 2025 and $2,500 in 2024, both for general operations. Health and disability-related support appears as well. Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinic in Merrifield received $5,000 in 2025, while KOVAR Corporation in Roanoke received $8,500 in 2025 for general support. The foundation also backed National Capital Treatment and Recovery Center in Arlington in both 2024 and 2025.
Typical grant size is flat: the p25, median, and p75 are all $2,500. That clustering shows a small-grant pattern with a few larger awards at the top of the list. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Queen of Apostles Catholic Church, Assist Pregnancy Resource Center, Mother of Light Center, Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinic, National Capital Treatment and Recovery Center, Sisters of Blessed Sacrament, Annandale Christian Community for Action, Marih Center, A Woman’s Choice, and Mater Ecclesiae Fund for Vocations. The grants are made as general operations or general support, which points to unrestricted funding. No program-related investments are listed, and the foundation does not fund individuals.

Notable grantees: Queen of Apostles Catholic Church, Queen of Apostles Catholic School, KOVAR Corporation, Annandale Christian Community for Action
The giving is overwhelmingly Virginia-centered: 81% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state, and the top state by grant count is Virginia. Alexandria and Annandale appear repeatedly, along with Merrifield, Falls Church, Herndon, Arlington, Springfield, Roanoke, and Newport News. Outside Virginia, the foundation’s grants also reached New Haven, Connecticut; Esmont, Virginia; Bensalem, Pennsylvania; Lanham, Maryland; Northampton, Pennsylvania; and Coconut Creek, Florida. All recent grants in the dataset went to U.S. recipients.
The foundation funds Catholic parish and school operations, local faith-based social services, disability-related charities, pregnancy resource centers, a medical clinic, and a recovery center. The recent grants list also includes support for vocations and other parish-linked ministries, mostly through general operating awards.
The grant-size distribution is very tight: p25 is $2,500, median is $2,500, and p75 is $2,500. That means most awards cluster at the same level, with only a few larger grants above that amount.
Yes, but the pattern is still Virginia-heavy. Recent non-Virginia recipients include organizations in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Florida, while 81% of grants go to recipients in Virginia.
The recent grants are described as general operations or general support. That indicates the foundation tends to fund core organizational needs rather than narrowly defined project budgets.
Yes. Several organizations show up in more than one year, including Queen of Apostles Catholic Church, Assist Pregnancy Resource Center, Mother of Light Center, National Capital Treatment and Recovery Center, and Annandale Christian Community for Action. That suggests recurring relationships rather than single awards.
