The Loren McPherson Charitable Trust makes highly concentrated gifts to higher education scholarships, directing its entire recorded giving to Harvard University. Grants are earmarked for scholarships, indicating a focus on supporting student financial aid at an elite university rather than a diversified portfolio of charities. The trust appears to operate as a focused donor supporting one institutional partner rather than multiple causes or geographies.
Very concentrated: all recorded grants (three grants totaling $59,175) went to a single beneficiary (Harvard University) for scholarship purposes, indicating repeat, targeted support rather than broad or small distributed giving.
