This foundation concentrates its funding on large, urban institutions—specifically an academic medical center and a research university—providing unrestricted/general operating support. Grants are sizable and directed to established organizations rather than grassroots groups, suggesting a preference for institutional stability and core operating needs.
Highly concentrated and bilateral: six total grants split evenly between two repeat recipients, with large unrestricted payments rather than many small or one-off awards.
Notable grantees: Temple University Hospital, Drexel University
Garrett Mary M U W Pers gives almost all of its recent support to two Philadelphia institutions: Drexel University and Temple University Hospital. The pattern is consistent across the latest grants on file, with both organizations receiving repeated general operating support in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That makes the foundation’s approach clear: it favors established, large-scale institutions and funds their core operations rather than specific projects. The foundation’s recent grants are tightly grouped in size as well. Its awards sit in a narrow band just under $38,500, which points to a steady, programmatic style of giving rather than highly variable awards. All of the recent grants in the file go to Pennsylvania recipients, and every listed recipient is in Philadelphia. This concentration on unrestricted support for an academic medical center and a research university suggests a focus on organizational stability. The recent record shows repeated grants to the same two grantees, with the same general operating designation year after year.
Garrett Mary M U W Pers supports organizational capacity through unrestricted operating grants. In higher education, it gave $38,324 to Drexel University for general operating support in 2024, followed by $37,968 in 2025 and $37,898 in 2023. It uses the same structure in health care. Temple University Hospital received $38,324 for general operating support in 2024, then $37,968 in 2025 and $37,898 in 2023. Across both institutions, the purpose text is the same: general operating support. That places the foundation’s giving in the category of core operational funding, with awards directed to established organizations rather than restricted projects. The grant record shows two main fields of support: an academic university and a hospital, both located in Philadelphia.
The typical grant size is tightly clustered: p25 is $37,898, the median is $38,111, and p75 is $38,324. That narrow spread indicates highly consistent award sizes. The recent record also shows recurrence: the same two recipients appear in 2023, 2024, and 2025, each time with general operating support. Garrett Mary M U W Pers is not a fund for individuals and does not make program-related investments. The grant pattern points to direct institutional support rather than competitive or project-based funding.
