Ideal Applicant
A California-based nonprofit (often education, tuition-assistance, human services, or faith-based) seeking program-specific support or tuition assistance and able to submit a form or be nominated for consideration.
Good Fit
- • Based in California or primarily serving California communities.
- • Requests for tuition assistance, school materials, meal programs, shelter or other direct human services.
- • Ability to supply the foundation's requested application form and specific program data.
- • Connections or referrals from local networks, diocesan offices, or organizations the foundation already supports.
- • Requests sized in the typical $10K–$20K range.
Geography
Giving is highly concentrated in California with roughly 96% of dollars and most grants going to in-state recipients; only small out-of-state awards appear across three observed years.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a broad recipient set (47 distinct recipients and 51 grants), low concentration by top grantees (top one ~4%, top five ~19%), and many different purposes funded, indicating a wide institutional spread for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows many new grantees (44 new recipients in 2024 and a year with all recipients new), suggesting unfamiliar organizations do enter the portfolio; however, the application process also signals preselection and favored local/faith-based priorities, so access may commonly occur via nomination or referral rather than an open public portal.
