The Edward G & Mary E Mansour
This organization is a private foundation dedicated to supporting various charitable causes, primarily focusing on religious and educational institutions.

The foundation serves a range of recipients, including churches, high schools, seminaries, and health-related organizations, indicating a broad interest in enhancing educational opportunities and supporting religious activities.

Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize faith-based organization (commonly Catholic schools, seminaries, parishes, or local charities) typically based in Ohio seeking modest operating or tuition-assistance support.
Good Fit
- • Located in Ohio or clearly serving an Ohio-based community
- • Religious or Catholic educational mission (high school, seminary, parish)
- • Request for general operating or tuition-assistance funding at modest levels
- • Existing relationship, referral, or introduction from local civic or diocesan networks
- • Capacity to steward small one-time or recurring awards
Geography
In the latest year grants were recorded in five states, but the vast majority of dollars (about 82%) stayed in Ohio, indicating a primarily in‑state focus with occasional out‑of‑state giving.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded eight distinct recipients in 2023 (and eleven in 2022) across schools, seminaries, churches, and charities, showing a moderate variety of independent grantees even though the top five consumed most dollars.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new grantees exists (five new recipients in 2023) but the foundation explicitly states grants are only to preselected recipients and there is no public application route, so an unfamiliar applicant is unlikely to enter the portfolio without a referral or invitation.
