The Sarah Lee Pascoe Foundation concentrates relatively large grants on a small number of local nonprofits, primarily supporting transitional housing and nonprofit capacity-building in Orange County. Its giving blends direct service funding for people experiencing homelessness with support for intermediaries that help nonprofits respond to basic needs, educate children, and preserve the environment. The foundation appears to prefer a few substantial gifts rather than many small awards, and it repeats support to key partners.
Concentrated giving: a small number of relatively large grants, repeat funding to select grantees (notably ONEOC), and a mix of direct service providers and philanthropic intermediaries rather than broad, dispersed grantmaking.
