The Guinn & Phyllis Unger Charitable foundation concentrates its modest giving on local community institutions in the Gettysburg/Upper Adams area, primarily public K–12 school districts and a single Lutheran congregation. Grants are targeted and repeated—multiple awards to the same recipients—indicating a preference for sustained, practical support to nearby schools and a church rather than broad regional or national funding.
Concentrated, repeat giving: a small number of relatively large gifts distributed repeatedly to a few local grantees rather than many one-off awards; funds appear focused on sustaining core local institutions.
Notable grantees: Gettysburg Area School District, Upper Adams School District, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church
