The Mons Concepit Foundation concentrates its support on Catholic faith-based institutions and local education, funding parochial schools, religious orders, and diocesan social services alongside a smaller set of recovery and social-enterprise initiatives. Grants are typically unrestricted (“general purposes”), suggesting trust in recipients’ operational priorities, and the foundation shows repeated multi-year support to a handful of favored organizations. Its giving mixes parish/school strengthening with community-serving programs such as addiction recovery and workforce/social enterprise activity.
Mons Concepit Foundation’s giving shows a consistent preference for Catholic schools and faith-based institutions, paired with general-purpose support that lets recipients direct funds where they are most needed. One of its clearest patterns is repeated backing for Blessed Sacrament School in Albany, including grants of $125,000 in 2025 and $62,500 in both 2024 and 2023. The foundation also supports broader Catholic service organizations, such as Catholic Charities in New York and Franciscan Friars Holy Name, alongside smaller but recurring grants to religious and social-service organizations. Its portfolio is not limited to parish and school support: it has also funded addiction recovery and sober-community efforts, mission-driven workforce activity, and education-access initiatives. Recent grants include support for Dog Tag Bakery in Washington, DC; Sober St Patricks Day Foundation in Ridgefield, CT; and the Marie Bourke Education Project in Ireland. The pattern points to a funder that combines institutional Catholic philanthropy with selective support for community-serving programs outside that core.
Catholic education is a central thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. It awarded $125,000 to Blessed Sacrament School in Albany for general purposes, then followed with $62,500 grants in both 2024 and 2023. It also gave $50,000 to School of the Holy Child in Rye and $15,000 to Our Lady of Angels Regional School in Morton. Beyond schools, the foundation backs Catholic service and religious organizations. Catholic Charities in New York received $110,000 in 2023 and $55,000 in 2025, while Franciscan Friars Holy Name in New York received $76,500 in 2024, $47,500 in 2023, and $30,000 in 2025. The portfolio also reaches into recovery and social enterprise, with grants to Sober St Patricks Day Foundation and Dog Tag Bakery.
Grant sizes cluster around the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $5,500, a median of $14,600, and a p75 of $47,500. The foundation’s 2025 grants include several repeated recipients, and the 2023-2025 record shows multiple organizations receiving support in more than one year, indicating a recurring relationship model rather than one-off gifts. Grants are generally awarded for general purposes, pointing to unrestricted or discretionary support. The foundation is not a funder of individuals and does not make program-related investments.

Concentrated portfolio: a small number of medium-to-large, repeat unrestricted grants account for most dollars. Preference for continuing support to familiar local Catholic institutions and a few community nonprofits rather than wide, one-off funding across many causes.
