PROFILE: Established in 1958, the Annunziata Sanguinetti Foundation is a private foundation managed by Wells Fargo Philanthropic Services, which serves as a trustee for the foundation. It preserves the tradition of philanthropy and memory of Joseph and Annunziata Sanguinetti, as well as Attilio and Louis Sanguinetti. The foundation aims to "support the care, treatment, cure, rehabilitation or education of children with physical handicaps, mental retardation or mental illnesses to children born in, residing in or whose parents’ homes were maintained in San Francisco, California.” It funds local efforts for education, health and human services.
The Annunziata Sanguinetti Foundation is fully dedicated to serving the needs of disadvantaged children at the local level. It considers funding requests to aid children with both mental and physical disabilities. The target population for grants is San Francisco children ages 21 and under. Typical grants go towards after-school programs, children’s camps, behavioral health programs, assistance dogs and other core programming support. However, it does not provide funding for Shriners Hospitals for Crippled Children, which includes the Shriners Hospital at San Francisco, because of gifts already made there during the donor’s lifetime. Overall, the foundation usually awards around 14 grants per year.
