About Macauley Foundation
The Macauley Foundation Inc. makes unrestricted gifts to organizations that deliver direct health services, especially free clinics and medical outreach programs. Its largest recent grants went to Americares Free Clinics, including $175,000 in both 2023 and 2025, with the same unrestricted purpose attached each time. That repeated support points to a funder that backs frontline providers rather than short-term project work. The foundation’s recent portfolio also includes domestic and international health access organizations such as The Denan Project Inc., Haitian Health Foundation, The Kellermann Foundation, Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian Health, Christian Appalachian Project, Share Africa, and Mercy Ships. Across those grants, the common thread is operational flexibility: the awards are described as unrestricted contributions to assist each organization with its activities. The Macauley Foundation Inc. gave $1,247,231 in annual grants in the latest 990 year on file and shows a pattern of supporting nonprofit health and human service organizations through general operating-style funding. Its grant list includes repeat awards to the same recipients across 2023 and 2025, indicating ongoing relationships with selected organizations rather than one-time gifts.
What Macauley Foundation Funds
A defining area of support is free and community-based medical care. In 2025, The Macauley Foundation Inc. gave $175,000 to Americares Free Clinics for an unrestricted contribution to assist them with their activities, matching a 2023 award of the same size and purpose. The foundation also supports medical mission and outreach organizations with an international reach. It gave $50,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2025 to Haitian Health Foundation, again as unrestricted support, and provided $15,000 in 2025 to El Porvenir. A third theme is broader health access and community service. The foundation awarded $30,000 in 2023 and $30,000 in 2025 to Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian Health, and it also supported Mercy Ships with a $25,000 grant in 2025. These grants sit alongside unrestricted support for organizations serving different populations and care settings.
How Macauley Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster around a $12,000 p25, $24,000 median, and $30,000 p75, showing a core pattern of mid-sized awards with some larger outliers.
