Saving Children
Father Flanagan's Boys' Home centers its grantmaking on Boys Town operating affiliates across the country, with recent awards flowing to Nevada, Louisiana, South Florida, Central Florida, New England, North Florida, and Washington, DC. The largest recent grant in the file was $5,159,656 to Boys Town Nevada Inc in Las Vegas for program support, followed by $4,189,386 to Boys Town Louisiana Inc in New Orleans for the same purpose. That pattern shows a funder using large, repeat program-support grants to sustain a network of related entities rather than a wide mix of external grantees. The foundation’s public profile aligns with its existing summary, “Saving Children,” and its stated focus areas of child welfare, family services, juvenile justice, behavioral health, residential care, foster care support, and advocacy. Recent grants also show continuity across multiple years: Boys Town South Florida Inc received awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025; Boys Town Central Florida Inc and Boys Town New England Inc also appear repeatedly. The grants are structured as operational and programmatic support, indicating ongoing backing for service delivery at affiliated locations.
Child welfare and family services are at the center of the foundation’s recent support. In 2025, it gave $3,892,190 to Boys Town South Florida Inc in West Palm Beach for program support, and in 2024 it gave $3,438,529 to the same affiliate for the same purpose. The portfolio also reaches juvenile justice and behavioral health through Boys Town New England Inc in Portsmouth, which received $3,180,505 in 2023 and $2,604,786 in 2025. Those recurring awards suggest sustained support for services that require continuity over time. Residential care and foster care support appear in the foundation’s broader stated focus, and the recent grant list shows multiple affiliated sites funded for program support rather than one-off projects. Advocacy is also part of the stated focus set, matching the foundation’s emphasis on programmatic support across its Boys Town network.

The recent grants are overwhelmingly recurring, with several Boys Town affiliates appearing in multiple years, including South Florida, Central Florida, New England, North Florida, Nevada, Louisiana, and Washington, DC. The foundation gives through program support and project-specific funding, with the recent list showing program support across the board.
