About Us  

About Us:

The Alexander & Margaret Stewart Trust is a charitable foundation supporting nonprofit organizations researching, treating and preventing cancer and pediatric afflictions.

The Trust was established in 1947 by Mary E. Stewart and Helen Stewart Devore in honor of their parents. Trust grants for treatment and prevention are provided to organizations assisting residents of the District of Columbia, particularly in economically disadvantaged communities.

The Stewart Trust distributed over $4 million in grants in calendar year 2007. Grantees range from D.C. health clinics and hospitals to other organizations providing pediatric and/or cancer treatment for the underprivileged.

If you are interested in applying for a new grant, please review our Guidelines and then go to our Application section.

The Trust does not accept proposals for research unless specifically requested by the trustees. The Trust, with the help of medical experts, establishes targeted research programs.
