C & M Foundation directs almost all of its modest giving to Christian ministry and local church-based organizations, with a mix of congregational support and faith-based outreach projects. Grants include sizable gifts to specific churches and to evangelical media/outreach efforts, suggesting a priority on supporting ministry operations and evangelism. The foundation’s giving is concentrated among a handful of faith organizations and includes repeat support for the same congregations.
C & M Foundation’s giving is anchored by church ministry, with repeated support for Arbor Road Church in Long Beach and other faith-based organizations. The foundation also backs Christian media and outreach, including a 2025 grant to Jesus Film Project for ministry, and it has made cross-border gifts tied to education and social support in the Philippines. Across the recent grants list, the pattern is compact and purposeful: a modest asset base, a relatively small annual grant total, and a portfolio built around congregations, evangelism, and ministry operations rather than broad thematic diversification. Several of the largest awards point to that emphasis. The foundation gave $19,500 to ClyMila Foundation in Quezon City for ministry and care of needy people, and $20,000 to Arbor Road Church for ministry. Other grants extend the same pattern to Family Christian Church, Jesus Assembly, and Back to the Bible. The result is a grantmaking profile centered on Christian institutions, with some support for education and care-related work when those fit within a ministry setting. Repeat awards to the same organizations suggest ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts.
Christian ministry is the clearest throughline in the portfolio. In 2025, C & M Foundation gave $13,000 to Jesus Film Project for ministry, then made additional grants of $5,000 and $3,000 to the same organization in prior years. Local church support is another consistent area: Family Christian Church received $10,000 in 2023, $3,000 in 2025, and $2,000 in 2024 for ministry. The foundation also funds education and student support when it connects to faith-based institutions. Far Eastern University received $7,500 in 2025 for ministry and educational support in the Philippines, $3,200 in 2024 for student educational support, and $2,280 in 2025 for the same broader purpose. Smaller grants show additional interest in youth and family-oriented work, including $2,000 to Parable Renew Youth Movement for youth ministry and $2,000 to Philanthropic Education Organizatio for women’s education.
C & M Foundation’s grant sizes cluster at the small-to-midsize end: the 25th percentile is $500, the median is $2,000, and the 75th percentile is $5,000. That pattern matches a portfolio of many modest awards with a few larger grants. The recent list also shows recurring support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially churches and ministry organizations, which points to repeat relationship-based giving rather than one-time program bets. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
