About Margaret A Roberts Charitable Foundation C/O Patrick J Bitterman

Two areas define Margaret a Roberts Charitable Foundation C/o Patrick J Bitterman’s recent giving: rehabilitation and resettlement services for survivors of torture, and support for Catholic parish ministry. The clearest signal is repetition at scale. The foundation made two grants of $150,000 to Center for Victims of Torture in consecutive years, both for general operating support, and matched that pattern with two $60,000 grants to Holy Savior Catholic Church. That mix points to a funder that backs a small set of direct-service organizations with flexible support rather than distributing many small awards. Other recent grants reinforce that profile. The foundation has supported torture-survivor service organizations in multiple cities, including Washington, San Francisco, and Baltimore, while also funding parish and parish-linked community institutions in Wichita, DeKalb, and Chicago. Several recipients appear more than once, suggesting continuity rather than one-time project funding. The grant list also includes organizations serving refugees, clinic-based care, and community programs, all through general operating support. Across the recent record, the foundation’s giving is narrow in theme but broad enough to include faith-based service, trauma recovery, and related direct-service work within the United States.
