The Christ Child Society of Pasadena is a non-profit organization of volunteers dedicated to supporting under-resourced children and families in the San Gabriel Valley by distributing newborn necessities, providing children's clothing, supporting education, and offering resources to affirm the human dignity of God's children in the love and spirit of the Christ Child. We serve the material, educational, and emotional needs of disadvantaged children regardless of race or creed in the San Gabriel Valley area in California.
Christ Child Society of Pasadena Inc directs most of its visible grantmaking toward scholarships for students in the San Gabriel Valley, with awards routed through parish and Catholic schools rather than to individuals. The largest recent grants went to Our Lady of Guadalupe School in Los Angeles, including $15,800 in 2024 and $12,000 in 2025, showing a continued emphasis on education support across multiple years. Other recurring scholarship support reached Nativity Catholic School in El Monte and St Therese Carmelite School in Alhambra, alongside awards to schools in Pasadena, Monrovia, Altadena, San Gabriel, and Baldwin Park. The foundation’s activities also reflect a broader service model tied to the material needs of children and families. Its stated programs include layette distribution for newborns, seasonal assistance such as Christmas stockings and Easter shoes, a reading program, parish school support, and volunteer service projects. The organization serves under-resourced children and families in the San Gabriel Valley, and its grant history shows that education access and basic needs are treated as connected parts of that mission. Grantmaking is entirely in California and stays close to its Pasadena base.
Education access is the clearest throughline in the grant record. Christ Child Society of Pasadena Inc gave $12,510 in 2024 to Nativity Catholic School in El Monte for scholarships, and it followed with $9,000 in 2025 for the same purpose. Several other awards reinforce that pattern. It granted $10,880 to St Thomas More School in Alhambra for scholarships, $6,805 to Immaculate Conception School in Monrovia for scholarships, and $6,600 to St Andrew Catholic School in Pasadena for scholarships. The foundation also supports school participation costs more directly through its parish-school work. Its active program description says grants can cover registration fees, books, uniforms, lunch, sacrament fees, field trips, and emergency or basic needs for low-income students. Outside scholarships, the organization runs a PALS reading program and provides support to parish schools in the San Gabriel Valley.
Typical grants fall in a relatively narrow band: the p25 is $6,162, the median is $9,290, and the p75 is $12,102. The recent awards shown here cluster close to that middle range, with several scholarships in the $6,000 to $12,000 range and one larger $15,800 grant. The pattern also suggests recurring support rather than one-time giving. Multiple schools appear in more than one year, including Our Lady of Guadalupe School, Nativity Catholic School, and St Therese Carmelite School. Christ Child Society of Pasadena Inc is a regular funder, operates locally, and does not make program-related investments or grants to individuals.
