The Levert W Hoag Foundation focuses its giving on local Pueblo community improvement projects, favoring capital and project support rather than broad national initiatives. Major awards fund public art and urban renewal, physical capital for senior services, and operating support for youth development programs, showing an emphasis on place-based quality-of-life investments. Grants are large relative to the foundation's total giving and targeted to a small number of local organizations.
Concentrated, locally focused giving: a small number of relatively large grants (including repeat funding) targeted to capital and project needs rather than many small awards or broad program grants.
Levert W Hoag Foundation’s recent giving is defined by place-based capital work in Pueblo, especially projects tied to public art, streetscape improvements, and local institutions. The largest award on file is a $287,500 capital grant to History Colorado in 2025, a signal that the foundation is willing to make large project-level commitments when a project fits its local improvement priorities. Another major strand is the Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority, which received $219,400 in 2025 for sculptures and a walkway project, following a $116,433 award in 2023 for the same purpose. That pattern points to sustained support for physical changes in the built environment rather than broad operating aid. The foundation also backs senior services infrastructure and other community assets. Senior Resource Development Agency received capital support in both 2023 and 2025, while Roselawn Cemetary received capital grants in 2025. Operating support appears as a smaller part of the portfolio, with grants to Boys & Girls Club, Pcc Foundation, and Care & Share of So Colo. Across these awards, the foundation’s giving is concentrated on tangible local improvements and organizations serving Pueblo residents.
Public art and urban renewal are central to the foundation’s portfolio. In 2025, it gave $219,400 to Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority for sculptures and a walkway project, and the same grantee received $116,433 in 2023 for the same purpose. That repeated support shows an interest in visible, site-specific changes in Pueblo’s public realm. Capital support for community facilities is another clear theme. History Colorado received $287,500 in 2025 for capital work, and Roselawn Cemetary received $122,000 in 2025 plus $18,000 in the same year for capital needs. Senior services also appear in the grant record: Senior Resource Development Agency received $53,700 in 2023, $41,864 in 2025, and $1,400 in 2025, all listed as capital support. Operating grants are present but limited. Boys & Girls Club received $50,000 in 2023, while Pcc Foundation and Care & Share of So Colo also received operating support.
Levert W Hoag Foundation’s typical grant size falls in a fairly wide range: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $18,000, and the 75th percentile is $53,700. That distribution reflects a mix of smaller operating awards and larger project or capital commitments. The grants on file are not spread broadly across many years or places; the record shows repeated support to the same Pueblo organizations, including Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority and Senior Resource Development Agency, which suggests recurring relationships rather than one-off gifts only. The foundation is a private foundation, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. Its reported giving is local, with all grants in Colorado and all recipient-country entries in the United States.
