The Charles and Linda Corbalis Family Foundation focuses almost exclusively on Catholic religious life and education, providing sizable gifts to support Catholic formation, parish programs, and institutional promotion of Catholic teaching. Their giving is faith-centered and appears aimed at strengthening both local Idaho Catholic institutions and national Catholic education initiatives.
The Charles and Linda Corbalis Family Foundation’s giving is anchored by Catholic education and formation, with repeated support for organizations that promote Catholic teaching, parish-based spiritual development, and religious media. The largest recent grants go to The Culture Project Intl, which received $50,000 in both 2023 and 2024 to support the promotion of Catholic education. That pattern suggests a sustained interest in national Catholic evangelization efforts rather than isolated gifts. The foundation also supports diocesan and parish-level work in Idaho. In 2024, it gave $33,000 to the Diocese of Boise for programs of the Catholic faith, and it made additional grants to St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Nampa for intellectual and spiritual formation of Catholic laypersons and clergy. Its portfolio also reaches Catholic institutions involved in education and formation, including seminaries, institutes, and schools, alongside grants to organizations addressing social needs through a faith-based lens. Across the recent grants list, the foundation appears to favor program support for institutions that shape Catholic belief, public witness, and community life.
Catholic education is a central theme. The foundation gave $50,000 in 2024 to The Culture Project Intl for the promotion of Catholic education, and it also supported Catholic educational activities at Canyon Heights Academy and online Catholic education through the Institute of Catholic Culture. Formation of laypersons and clergy is another recurring area. St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Nampa received $30,000 in 2024 for intellectual and spiritual formation of Catholic laypersons and clergy, following a $20,000 grant in 2023 for the same purpose. The foundation also funded Saint Patrick’s Seminary University for programs of the Catholic faith. Its grants extend to Catholic public witness and related advocacy. The Institute on Religion Public Life received grants in both 2023 and 2024 to help religious believers meet challenges in public life, while Word on Fire was supported for programs of the Catholic faith. Smaller grants also reached faith-based social service groups.
Typical grants cluster tightly around $5,000 to $10,000, with a p25 of $5,000, a median of $5,000, and a p75 of $10,000. Larger outliers appear at $30,000, $33,000, and $50,000, but most awards stay in the lower end of that range. The recent record also shows repeat support to multiple recipients across 2023 and 2024, including The Culture Project Intl, St. Paul’s Catholic Church, The Institute on Religion Public Life, World Vision, Order of Malta, Polaris Project, and St. Anthony’s Foundation. The foundation is classified as a regular funder and funds organizations rather than individuals.

Highly concentrated giving: a small number of relatively large grants with repeat support to the same organizations; funding is faith-specific (Catholic) and directed toward programmatic and formation activities rather than broad philanthropy.
Notable grantees: The Culture Project Intl, Diocese of Boise, St. Paul’s Catholic Church
Grantmaking is national, but it is weighted toward a few states and a strong local Idaho presence. Idaho recipients accounted for 13% of grants, led by Boise and Nampa. Outside Idaho, the most active recipient location is Georgia, including Cumming, and there are multiple grants to California organizations in San Francisco, Campbell, Menlo Park, Oakland, San Jose, and Federal Way in Washington. All recent grants in the file went to U.S. recipients.
Its giving centers on Catholic education, catechesis, and intellectual and spiritual formation. Recent grants supported Catholic education promotion, diocesan Catholic programs, seminary formation, and Catholic teaching and media organizations.
The foundation’s typical grants are small and consistent: p25 is $5,000, median grant size is $5,000, and p75 is $10,000. Most recent awards fall in that band, with a few larger gifts at $30,000, $33,000, and $50,000.
Yes. The recent record includes repeat grants to The Culture Project Intl in 2023 and 2024, St. Paul’s Catholic Church in 2023 and 2024, The Institute on Religion Public Life in 2023 and 2024, World Vision in 2023 and 2024, and several other organizations across both years.
It gives nationally, but Georgia is the top state by grant count. Idaho is also significant, with 13% of grants going to recipients in the foundation’s HQ state, and California appears frequently across several recipient cities.
No. Most awards support Catholic institutions and faith-based education, but the recent grants also include social service and anti-trafficking organizations, such as groups serving vulnerable individuals in San Francisco, women and children facing homelessness or violence, and victims of human trafficking.
