Foundation leaders said the decision reflects growing concerns over financial strain facing nonprofit organizations and vulnerable communities.

Most private foundations distribute about 5% of their assets annually, the minimum required by the Internal Revenue Service.

The Marguerite Casey Foundation increased giving in 2025 by distributing $130 million, including funds drawn directly from its endowment. Foundation President and CEO Carmen Rojas said the organization believes it can provide greater support while maintaining long-term sustainability.
