The Janet and Clint Reilly Family Foundation concentrates its giving in the San Francisco Bay Area with an emphasis on Catholic parish and school support, access-to-care health services for the uninsured, and civic/cultural institutions that foster public service and community life. Grants range from major multi-hundred-thousand dollar commitments (parish, clinic, K–12 college-prep programming) to smaller gifts for local education, parks, aging services and arts sponsorships — signaling a mix of faith-based philanthropy, community health, youth opportunity, and civic engagement.
Janet and Clint Reilly Family Foundation’s largest recent grants show a clear split between direct community services and Bay Area Catholic education: in 2023, it gave $250,000 each to Clinic by the Bay, Bay Scholars, and St. Ignatius Church. That pattern points to a funder that backs both practical support for uninsured residents and the institutions that shape Catholic school and parish life in San Francisco. The foundation also shows steady support for civic education and public-service pathways, with grants to university-based centers that place students into internships, public events, and policy work. Arts and civic institutions appear in the record as well, alongside gifts tied to parks, youth recreation, literacy, and aging services. Recent grants range from six-figure operating support to smaller sponsorships and program gifts, which suggests a portfolio that mixes larger anchor commitments with modest local awards. Across the latest grants list, the foundation’s work stays closely tied to Bay Area communities and organizations serving students, families, and adults who rely on neighborhood-based services.
Catholic education is one of the foundation’s clearest priorities. In 2023, it gave $250,000 to Bay Scholars for transformative educational opportunities at Bay Area Catholic college-prep high schools, and $25,000 to Cristo Rey San Jose Jesuit High School for school operations. Parish support is also explicit: St. Ignatius Church received $250,000 for parish ministries and needs. Health access is another major line of giving. Clinic by the Bay received $250,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024 to support a free, volunteer-powered primary care clinic for uninsured Bay Area residents. Community-serving nonprofits also appear across education and family support, including $25,000 to Beyond Differences in 2024 and 2025 for a children’s education program, and $10,000 to Always Dream Foundation in 2024 for childhood literacy work.
Typical awards sit at a $10,000 p25, $25,000 median, and $100,000 p75, with a few much larger grants at the top end. The foundation’s latest grants show repeat support to some recipients across multiple years, including Clinic by the Bay, Beyond Differences, Catholic Charities, and Always Dream Foundation. Giving is overwhelmingly concentrated in California, and the grant list reflects a local, relationship-based pattern rather than a national portfolio. The foundation makes grants; it does not make program-related investments. It also funds individuals, which is part of its overall grantmaking structure.
