    About Mary Parker Foundation 157823-000

    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.

    Focus Areas

    Marine science and public aquarium support (e.g., Mote Marine Laboratory)Aggregated annual grantmaking lists / pooled community grantsGeneral charitable operating support for cultural and recreational nonprofits

    Who They Fund

    marine science institutions / public aquaria (e.g., Mote Marine Laboratory)cultural and recreational nonprofit organizationscommunity nonprofits included on aggregated annual grant lists

    Giving Approach

    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.
