The Torrice Family Charitable Trust appears to make targeted international humanitarian gifts, with a clear focus on relief for Armenian communities. Their single reported grant is a one-time $15,000 contribution to an organization providing Armenian relief, suggesting personalized, issue-specific giving rather than broad diversified philanthropy.
The Torrice Family Charitable Trust C/o Elizabeth Donaghey made a single reported $15,000 gift to Fund for Armenian Relief for Armenian relief, which gives the trust a clear identity in the record: targeted support for Armenian humanitarian needs. That top grant stands out against a pattern of smaller awards, with 2025 gifts also going to Lazarus House for aid and support for disadvantaged and at-risk people, Fred Hutch Cancer Center for cancer patients and research, and Beverly Hospital Compass Moms Do Care for relief to victims of Kentucky tornadoes. The trust’s recent record shows a mix of humanitarian, basic-needs, and community support rather than a broad thematic spread. Most of the named grants are to Massachusetts organizations, including food pantries, social-concern groups, and local service providers in Gloucester, Lawrence, Woburn, and nearby communities. It also reaches beyond Massachusetts in select cases, with gifts to organizations in New York, Washington, Florida, Maine, and New Hampshire. The latest 990 on file is 2025, and the grant list suggests a foundation that gives through direct, specific awards to established nonprofits serving immediate needs.
Armenian humanitarian relief is the most distinctive theme in the record. The trust gave $15,000 to Fund for Armenian Relief for Armenian relief, a larger gift than any other listed award. Beyond that core focus, it has supported basic-needs organizations such as Lazarus House for aid and support for disadvantaged and at-risk people, showing attention to direct service work. Hunger relief appears repeatedly as well: Woburn Council for Social Concern, The Open Door Gloucester Food Bank, and Trinity Church Food Pantry each received grants for that purpose. The portfolio also includes community and beneficiary-specific support, such as $5,000 to Fisher House Boston for supporting veterans, $2,000 to Florence House - Women's Homeless Shelter for homeless women, and $2,000 to Lowell Humane Society for an animal shelter.
Typical grant size in the file is $1,000 at the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile, even though the recent list also includes several larger $5,000 awards and a single $15,000 grant. The pattern is active across multiple years: grants appear in 2023 and 2025, with some recipients recurring, including Lazarus House, Beverly Hospital Compass Moms Do Care, and food-related organizations. That repetition suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards only. The trust appears to operate as a family charitable trust rather than a public grantmaker, and it does not fund individuals or program-related investments.

Highly concentrated, singular giving: one mid-sized, one-off grant directed to a specific ethnic/ international relief organization rather than multiple or recurring grantees.
Notable grantees: Fund for Armenian Relief

The record shows support for Armenian humanitarian relief, hunger relief, social services for disadvantaged and at-risk people, youth programming, veterans assistance, homeless women’s services, cancer support, and animal shelter work.
