The Peter Uccelli Foundation concentrates its small-scale philanthropy on local healthcare-related education, directing all known support to Sequoia Hospital Foundation for scholarships. Its giving appears narrowly focused on funding individual scholarships tied to a specific hospital rather than broad programmatic grants. The foundation gives locally and consistently to a single healthcare education beneficiary.
Highly concentrated: all recorded giving went to one grantee (Sequoia Hospital Foundation) across three grants, totaling $22,250, indicating repeat, targeted support rather than broad diversification.
The Peter Uccelli Foundation’s clearest pattern is a long-running scholarship relationship with Sequoia Hospital Foundation in Redwood City. The largest recent grant on file is a $10,000 scholarship award in 2024, followed by additional scholarship and contribution support in 2023, 2024, and 2025, showing a consistent link to hospital-affiliated education rather than broad, open-ended grantmaking. Across the recent grants list, the foundation also appears in small local contributions to community organizations in Redwood City and nearby San Mateo County cities, but the hospital scholarship line remains the most distinctive part of its giving. The foundation’s grant sizes are generally modest, with many awards clustered around the low-thousands. Its known beneficiaries include individual scholarship recipients through Sequoia Hospital Foundation, which aligns with the foundation’s stated focus on hospital-affiliated scholarships and healthcare education support. The recent record suggests a donor that favors direct, local assistance tied to education and training rather than larger institutional grants. Even when it supports other organizations, the amounts and recipient locations keep the giving profile grounded in the Peninsula area.
Hospital-affiliated scholarships are central to the Peter Uccelli Foundation’s giving. In 2024, it gave $10,000 to Sequoia Hospital Foundation for scholarship support, and the same recipient also received $6,250 in 2023 and $2,500 in 2024 for scholarships. That pattern ties the foundation closely to training and education support connected to healthcare. The foundation also supports education-oriented community groups. It gave $2,600 in 2025 to John F Kennedy Middle School for scholarship support, and $2,500 in 2024 to San Mateo County - 4-h Council Scholorship for scholarship support. In addition, it made a $2,500 contribution to Upward Scholars in 2024 and another $2,500 contribution in 2025, indicating an interest in student support beyond the hospital setting. Community-based service organizations are another part of the mix, including contributions to Second Harvest Food Bank and Society at St Vincent De Paul- Safety Net Services.
Typical awards are small: the grant-size distribution shows p25 at $550, a median of $1,000, and p75 at $2,500. That places most grants in a narrow, low-dollar range, even though a few larger scholarship awards appear at the top of the recent list. The pattern is consistent with direct contribution and scholarship checks rather than large institutional commitments. The foundation also funds individuals, which fits the scholarship-heavy profile. Its recent grants show repeated support across multiple years, especially to the same core scholarship partner, suggesting recurring relationships rather than one-off gifts.
