The Linda & Barry Allen Foundation makes a small number of targeted, mid-size grants focused primarily on sustaining local Boca Grande community institutions and basic health services, with occasional support for medical education/research. Grants are predominantly unrestricted operations or capital support and include repeat funding to a local Episcopal parish. Their giving appears community-centered and pragmatic rather than broad or national in scope.
A repeat relationship with St Christopher Episcopal Church stands out in the Linda & Barry Allen Foundation’s recent giving, with grants tied to both capital and operating support across multiple years. That pattern fits a funder that appears place-based and practical: most of its grants are relatively small, many at $1,000 to $2,500, while a few larger awards go to institutions that anchor community life or health care. The foundation’s recent support includes Boca Grande institutions, medical education and research organizations, and a handful of other nonprofits tied to faith, civic life, and basic services. In Boca Grande, the foundation has backed the local health clinic, a community center, and several faith communities, suggesting an emphasis on organizations that serve residents directly. Outside Florida, it has supported the Medical College of Wisconsin and other medical-related entities, as well as the International Committee of the Red Cross. The mix points to grantmaking that is selective rather than broad, with funding directed toward operating needs and specific projects rather than large-scale program portfolios.
The Linda & Barry Allen Foundation gives across a small set of cause areas, with each grant tied to a named institution and a clear purpose. In community health, it awarded $25,000 to Boca Grande Health Clinic for operations and $30,500 to Medical College of Wisconsin for operations, alongside a $10,000 grant to Milwaukee College of Wisconsin Research Fund. Faith-based support is another visible thread. The foundation gave $25,000 to St Christopher Episcopal Church - Capital Campaign and also supported St Andrew Episcopal Church with a $10,000 operating grant. Its civic and neighborhood giving includes $25,000 to Friends of Boca Grande Community Center for operations and $12,500 to The Island School Foundation for operations. The portfolio also includes targeted support for broader service organizations, such as $25,000 to Cause Foundation for operations and $10,000 to the International Committee of the Red Cross for operations.
Typical grant size is modest: the 25th percentile is $1,000, the median is $1,000, and the 75th percentile is $2,500. Even so, the foundation makes occasional larger awards, including $25,000 and $30,500 grants. The recent record shows repeat support to the same recipients across years, including St Christopher Episcopal Church, Medical College of Wisconsin, Heros & Horses, Western Landowners Alliance, and St Andrews Episcopal Church Foundation. Grant purposes are often listed as operations, with some capital support. The foundation also reports no individual giving and no program-related investments.
