The Palme-Templeton Family Foundation concentrates its giving locally in San Antonio, with the vast majority of funds directed to higher education advancement at the University of Texas at San Antonio and a smaller commitment to youth residential services. The foundation makes very few grants each year, favoring large, targeted gifts over broad distribution and appears focused on institutional support rather than program-specific funding.
Highly concentrated giving: few grants (3) with one repeat, large donations—90% of dollars go to UTSA across two grants—plus a single smaller local youth-service grant.
Notable grantees: UTSA Advancement & Alumni Engagement, Boysville
The largest recent gifts from Palme-templeton Family Foundation all went to Utsa Advancement & Alumni Engagemen, including two grants of $60,000 and two grants of $30,000 in 2025. That concentration points to a funder that supports a small number of institutional partners rather than spreading smaller awards broadly. In the same recent group, the foundation also gave $20,000 to Templeton Center in Lynchburg, Virginia, and $10,000 to Boysville in Converse, Texas, showing a mix of higher-education support and youth residential services. The foundation’s giving is local by scope, with all recent grants landing in Texas recipients or other U.S. organizations. Annual grantmaking totaled $210,000, while reported assets were $1,359,290. The pattern is narrow and intentional: a few grants, repeated support to the same institution, and charitable-purpose awards tied to named organizations rather than open-ended funding. For a nonprofit researcher, the clearest signal is the repeated investment in UTSA-related advancement work, paired with smaller grants to organizations serving different institutional needs.
Higher education is the clearest focus. In 2025, Palme-templeton Family Foundation gave $60,000 to Utsa Advancement & Alumni Engagemen and repeated that support with another $60,000 grant, plus two additional $30,000 grants to the same recipient. The most detailed recent grant list shows a strong preference for university-related charitable purposes tied to UTSA. The foundation also supports residential services for young people: it awarded $10,000 to Boysville in Converse, Texas. Beyond Texas, it made a $20,000 grant to Templeton Center in Lynchburg, Virginia, which broadens the recent list beyond a single city while staying within charitable-purpose giving. Across these grants, the foundation’s priorities are institutionally oriented rather than issue-portfolios with many small grants.
Typical grant size is tightly clustered: the 25th, median, and 75th percentiles are all $10,000. That combination, alongside a $210,000 annual grants total, suggests a small number of relatively large awards with repeated support to the same recipient. The recent grant list shows the same UTSA-related grantee appearing multiple times in 2025, which is a sign of recurring support rather than one-off giving. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its grants appear to be charitable-purpose awards through the family foundation itself, with no application process described in the provided data.

Giving is concentrated in Texas: 100% of grants in the recent dataset went to recipients in the HQ state, and Texas is also the top state by grant count. San Antonio appears as the main recipient city through multiple UTSA-related grants, while Converse also appears through Boysville. One recent grant reached Lynchburg, Virginia, showing that the foundation’s local pattern is strong but not exclusive to a single city. The recipient-country distribution is entirely U.S.-based.
The recent grants point to two clear areas: university advancement at UTSA and residential services for at-risk youth. Four of the six largest recent grants went to Utsa Advancement & Alumni Engagemen, and another grant went to Boysville in Converse, Texas.
The grant-size distribution is flat at $10,000 for the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile. That indicates many awards cluster around the same size, even though the recent list also includes larger repeated gifts.
