The Hone & Cox Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on local health care and a focused education intervention, giving the large majority of funds to a regional hospital and the remainder to organizations addressing dyslexia. Grants are few and sizable, suggesting an interest in capital or major program support for institutions that provide clinical services and specialized learning supports. The foundation appears to prioritize tangible, service-delivery organizations in the Pittsburgh area rather than broad policy or small grassroots initiatives.
Highly concentrated: a very small number of large grants (three grants to a single hospital totaling the majority of giving) plus repeated, multi-year support to a specialized education nonprofit; favors substantial, targeted gifts over many small awards.
The Hone & Cox Foundation’s largest recent grants have gone to St Clair Hospital Foundation, with awards of $276,955 in 2025, $215,616 in 2024, and $233,461 in 2023 for general support. That pattern points to a funder that backs a small set of institutions with repeated, sizable operating support rather than a wide, grant-seeking portfolio. Alongside hospital funding, the foundation has also supported Children’s Dyslexia Centers Inc. with general support across 2023 to 2025, indicating a second, specialized commitment to learning and remediation services. Its grantmaking stays close to service delivery: hospital care, a children’s hospital foundation, and organizations tied to dyslexia diagnosis and remediation. The recent record also shows general support for Bethany Presbyterian Church and for Veterans of Foreign Wars Fdn, suggesting that the foundation’s giving is not limited to one institution type, but remains centered on organizations providing direct services or community support. Grants are relatively few and often repeated over multiple years, which gives the portfolio a stable, relationship-based profile.
Health care is the clearest priority. The foundation gave $276,955 in 2025 to St Clair Hospital Foundation for general support, following similar support in 2024 and 2023, and it also awarded $32,311 in 2025 to Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation for general support. A second thread is dyslexia services: Children’s Dyslexia Centers Inc. received $69,239 in 2025 for general support, with additional awards in 2024 and 2023. The portfolio also includes community and civic support, such as $23,080 in 2025 to Bethany Presbyterian Church for general support and $18,464 in 2025 to Veterans of Foreign Affairs Fdn for general support. Across these areas, the foundation appears to favor organizations that deliver direct services and ongoing institutional support.
Grant sizes are substantial for a private foundation of this scale: the typical award sits at $19,083 at the 25th percentile, $29,790 at the median, and $55,019 at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows repeat support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially for hospital and dyslexia-related organizations, which signals an ongoing funding relationship rather than one-off awards. Every listed grant is marked general support, pointing to flexible operating-style funding. The foundation does not make program-related investments and does not fund individuals.
