About Hawkins Family Foundation
A $59,720 grant to Hope for Prisoners in Las Vegas is the largest recent gift in the Hawkins Family Foundation’s record here, and it points to a pattern of giving that favors practical support for reentry, youth service, and values-driven institutions. The foundation’s recent grants also include repeated support for Nevada Right to Life, Boys and Girls Club, Children’s Health in Phoenix, and Santa Clara University, showing a mix of direct-service nonprofits, education, and advocacy-oriented groups.
Across the list, the Hawkins Family Foundation appears to use relatively focused grants rather than a wide scatter of small awards. General-purpose language is common, and several recipients recur across multiple years, including Hope for Prisoners, Boys and Girls Club, Children’s Health, Santa Clara University, Sierra Club, and St Angela Merci Church. That recurring pattern suggests sustained relationships with a limited set of organizations rather than one-time transactional gifts. The mix also reaches beyond one issue area: criminal-justice reentry sits alongside youth programming, Catholic and pro-life causes, environmental advocacy, and support tied to military and postgraduate education. The foundation’s giving profile is therefore best understood as multi-issue, with a consistent preference for broad-purpose support to named organizations it has funded before.
What Hawkins Family Foundation Funds
In criminal-justice reentry, the Hawkins Family Foundation gave $59,720 to Hope for Prisoners in 2024 and $30,000 in 2023, both listed as general support. That is one of the clearest through-lines in the record.
Youth programming is another recurring area. The foundation awarded $26,900 to Boys and Girls Club in Oakland in 2025, after earlier grants of $10,000 in 2024 and $8,500 in 2023.
Education and mission-aligned institutions also appear frequently. Santa Clara University received $10,000 in 2025 and $10,000 in 2024 for general purposes, while St Perpetua School in Lafayette received $18,331 in 2025 and $5,878 in 2023.
The foundation also funded advocacy and research-oriented groups, including $35,000 to Nevada Right to Life in 2024 and $24,000 to Naval Post Graduate School Foundation in 2025.
How Hawkins Family Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster in the low thousands, with a p25 of $1,000, a median of $2,100, and a p75 of $10,000. That distribution sits alongside a smaller set of larger awards, including six-figure-adjacent support for a few organizations. The grant list shows repeat recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which indicates ongoing relationships rather than one-time grants. Most awards are tagged general or general purposes, and the foundation does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The record provided does not show an application process.
