The Gillespie Foundation is a family foundation primarily focused on Antigua that provides funding to empower young women through sports programs and supports community services including police, fire, ambulance, healthcare, and search and rescue organizations. The foundation undertakes various projects in education, health, and community development. View Gillespie Foundation (GF)'s website for more information.
The Gillespie Foundation operates as a discretionary family foundation focused on Antigua and surrounding communities. It provides funding directly to community organizations, schools, hospitals, and emergency services rather than running formal grant programs with structured application processes.
As a family foundation, the organization maintains relationships with community partners and documents its funded projects on its website. The foundation works directly with local organizations to identify needs and provide appropriate resources.
The foundation was established by the Gillespie family with two primary missions: empowering young women through sports and supporting community safety and health services. The foundation has been active in funding projects since at least 2023.
Projects have included water infrastructure in Marula, football programs for girls in Antigua, and donations to medical facilities including the Renal Ward at Mt. St. John's Medical Centre.
