The Murray Family Boy Scouts foundation consistently funds local Boy Scouts of America councils across the country, providing general-purpose operating support to sustain scouting programs. Grants are spread geographically—from California to New England and the South—indicating a national focus on maintaining council-level capacity and youth leadership activities rather than specific projects. They occasionally make repeat awards to the same council but primarily support a wide set of councils with modest, unrestricted gifts.
Many moderate-sized, unrestricted grants distributed across a broad set of BSA local councils; occasional repeat grantees but overall geographically dispersed support rather than large multi-year commitments to a single organization.
