The Watterson Foundation
Charlottesville, VA
The Watterson Foundation’s 2024 grants supported hospice care, education, animal welfare, food assistance, church programs, housing, and other charitable purposes in Virginia and Ohio. Its six grants ranged from $100,000 to $350,000, with a median of $260,000; the 2024 filing was marked as its final return, so it appears to have ended grantmaking. That filing said written requests were accepted from 501(c)(3) organizations, but this guidance may no longer be current.
