The Adams Family Foundation makes very targeted, small-scale grants and appears to concentrate its giving on a single faith-based rescue mission. All recorded gifts were unrestricted/general fund support to Butte Rescue Mission, suggesting a priority on emergency shelter and basic human services delivered by a religiously affiliated nonprofit. The foundation gives repeatedly to the same out-of-state local service provider rather than spreading gifts across many organizations.
Highly concentrated giving to one repeat grantee (multiple small-to-moderate gifts), providing general/unrestricted support rather than project-restricted funding.
Adams Family Foundation’s giving is defined by repeated general-fund support to a small set of service organizations, with the clearest pattern centered on faith-based rescue mission work and other basic human services. The largest recent grants go to Butte Rescue Mission in Butte, Montana, which received $6,500 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for general fund support. That recurring award pattern shows a foundation that favors continuity over broad diversification. The same approach appears in its support for other organizations serving housing, food, and family needs. Rainbow Services in San Pedro received multiple general-fund grants, and Waikiki Health Next Step Shelter in Honolulu also appears among the higher-dollar awards. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s gifts are small and targeted rather than large or program-specific, and the recurring use of “GENERAL FUND” points to flexible support for day-to-day operations. The foundation also gives to organizations in Hawaii and California, alongside Montana-based recipients, indicating a regional pattern rather than a single-locality strategy.
Housing and shelter needs are a clear thread in Adams Family Foundation’s grantmaking. Butte Rescue Mission received $6,500 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025 for general fund support, while Waikiki Health Next Step Shelter received $4,500 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Food insecurity and family stabilization also appear in the record. Montana Food Bank in Missoula received $5,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. South Bay Childrens Health Center in Redondo Beach received $4,500 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, suggesting support for children’s health services. The foundation has also funded education- and family-oriented nonprofits, including Write Girl in Los Angeles and The Childrens Ranch Foundation in Los Angeles, both through general-fund grants. These awards show a preference for flexible support across a few service categories rather than tightly defined program grants.
Typical grants are small: the distribution is p25 $2,000, median $3,000, and p75 $4,500. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, especially 2023 through 2025, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. Grants are consistently labeled general fund, indicating unrestricted or broadly designated operating support. The foundation is a private family foundation, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
