The Greg & Sharon Anderson Family Foundation focuses on community health and welfare with a mix of local service support and targeted national medical research. Recent giving shows a major gift to the regional hospital, a significant grant to Parkinson’s research, and support for a local animal shelter, indicating priorities in healthcare access, disease research, and animal welfare.
Small number of mid-size grants (three total) concentrated across a few distinct causes; combination of a large local institutional gift, a sizable national disease-research grant, and support for local nonprofit animal welfare. Appears to favor one-off or occasional substantive gifts rather than many small donations or broad grantmaking.
A $50,000 grant to Lake Regional Health System in Osage Beach stands out in the Greg & Sharon Anderson Family Foundation’s recent giving and points to a strong interest in community health infrastructure. The foundation also backed Parkinson’s disease research with a $25,000 grant to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, showing that its philanthropy extends beyond local service needs to medical research with national reach. Animal welfare appears alongside health in the grant record as well: Dogwood Animal Shelter received $20,000, and Rescue One has appeared more than once in recent years. The pattern suggests a funder that supports both place-based organizations in the Lake Regional and Camdenton area and selected causes tied to health, welfare, and companion animals. Most grants in the record are in the $10,000 range, but the foundation has also made larger gifts when a recipient fits a priority area. The result is a compact portfolio centered on direct support for local nonprofits, with a smaller number of grants aimed at disease research and other targeted needs.
Community hospital and healthcare support is one clear thread in the foundation’s giving. In 2025, it granted $50,000 to Lake Regional Health System for support. Parkinson’s research is another focus: the Michael J. Fox Foundation received $25,000 in 2023 and another $10,000 in 2024, both for support. Animal welfare also appears consistently. Dogwood Animal Shelter received $20,000 in 2025, while Rescue One was awarded $10,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Smaller local gifts also appear in the record, including support for Whispering Willows in Hermitage, which received $10,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025. Across these areas, the foundation uses straightforward support grants rather than a wide mix of grant purposes.
Typical grant size clusters tightly around $10,000, with a median of $10,000 and a p25 of $10,000; the p75 rises to $12,500, while a few larger awards push above that range. The record shows recurring support to the same organizations across multiple years, including grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025 to several recipients. That pattern fits a small foundation with annual grants of $171,500 and total assets of $811,384. It makes direct support grants and does not fund individuals or program-related investments.
