The Mary Parker Foundation distributes very large, infrequent grants and concentrates its giving into a small number of high-dollar awards. Recent activity shows multi-million dollar aggregated grant lists in 2023 and 2024 alongside targeted seven- to eight-figure gifts to nonprofit institutions such as Mote Marine Laboratory, indicating a mix of broad annual grant rounds and selective institutional support, with a tilt toward cultural/recreational and charitable operating support.
Very concentrated giving: few, very large grants each year (multi-million-dollar awards). Mix of aggregated ‘grant list’ disbursements and singular institutional gifts rather than many small awards; appears to favor one-time or annual large commitments over frequent small grants.
