The Pia Tegler Benedictine Foundation concentrates virtually all of its support on the Benedictine Sisters in the Richardton/Dickinson, ND area, funding retirement and residential care for that religious community. Grants are overwhelmingly directed to a single institutional beneficiary (the Benedictine Sisters), indicating a narrow, mission-aligned philanthropic purpose tied to sustaining the order’s elder care and retirement needs. The foundation’s giving is locally focused and faith-based, with repeated gifts to the same organization.
Extremely concentrated giving: very few large grants almost entirely to one primary beneficiary, with repeat awards and a clear focus on funding retirement-related needs rather than a diversified grant portfolio.
