This foundation concentrates almost exclusively on faith-based giving in the Dallas area, providing large, unrestricted operating support to local Baptist institutions and a regional cemetery association. Grants are primarily general/unrestricted and directed to a small set of repeat recipients, indicating a preference for sustaining longstanding local religious and burial-care organizations rather than funding new programs or diverse causes.
Concentrated, few large grants focused on repeat grantees; predominantly unrestricted general support to faith-based and cemetery organizations rather than program-specific funding.
Wooster Mary Mcc Tr Uw Esw Fd Art1’s recent giving is defined by repeated unrestricted support for Deep River, Connecticut faith and cemetery institutions. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, the foundation returned to Deep River Baptist Church and Fountain Hill Cemetery Association / Fountain Hill Cemetery Assn Jane Mather with multiple general grants, including two $11,428 awards in 2025 and two $10,183 awards in 2025. That pattern points to a small, recurring set of recipients rather than a broad search for new grantees. The foundation also backs American Baptist denominational organizations. Grants to American Baptist Home Mission Society, International Ministries, and American Baptist Churches of Connecticut appear across several years, all marked unrestricted general support. The recurring structure suggests a relationship-based grantmaker that sustains churches, mission administration, and cemetery stewardship rather than funding discrete projects. Grantmaking is modest in scale, with awards often clustered in the low thousands and only a few gifts above $10,000. The largest recent grants in the file went to the Deep River Baptist and cemetery beneficiaries, reinforcing the foundation’s emphasis on local religious institutions and affiliated community assets.
Faith-based organizations are the clearest focus. The foundation gave $5,714 in 2025 to American Baptist Home Mission Society and $3,809 in 2025 to International Ministries, both as unrestricted general support. Earlier grants in 2023 and 2024 to the same organizations show a continuing denominational relationship. Local church support is another consistent area. Deep River Baptist Church received $13,441 in 2023, $7,908 in 2024, and $11,428 plus $10,183 in 2025, all for unrestricted general support. Cemetery care is also part of the portfolio. Fountain Hill Cemetery Association / Fountain Hill Cemetery Assn Jane Mather received $13,441 in 2023, $7,908 in 2024, and $11,428 plus $10,183 in 2025. Those grants suggest ongoing support for burial-ground upkeep and related stewardship. A smaller set of grants went to American Baptist Churches of Connecticut in West Hartford, including $1,905 in 2025, again as unrestricted general support.
Typical awards are small to mid-sized: p25 is $3,015, median grant size is $5,091, and p75 is $9,046. The recent record also shows a few larger grants above $10,000, concentrated among the same Deep River recipients. The pattern is strongly recurring. Deep River Baptist Church, Fountain Hill Cemetery Association, American Baptist Home Mission Society, International Ministries, and American Baptist Churches of Connecticut each appear in multiple years, almost always with unrestricted general support. The foundation is a trust, not an operating grantmaker that funds individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. The grants appear to be made without a public application process in the provided data.
