The Dalton Carl & Phyllis Family Foundation concentrates its giving on faith-based organizations and Christian education, plus a secondary interest in health and veteran-related community services. Grants are predominantly unrestricted or “support for daily” operations, indicating priority on sustaining institutional capacity for churches, ministries, and a few nonprofit health providers. The foundation repeatedly funds the same recipients, suggesting long-term relationships with a small set of core organizations.
Dalton Carl & Phyllis Family Fdn gives repeatedly to a relatively small group of faith-based institutions, with several recipients appearing across multiple years and grant purposes shifting between general support and support for daily operations. One of the clearest patterns is its sustained backing of Christian higher education: the University of Northwestern St Paul received $247,978 in 2024, $245,984 in 2023, and $49,454 in 2025. Another recurring relationship is with Rosser Foundation, which received $150,000 in 2024, $100,000 in 2023, and $100,000 in 2025, including a $100,000 grant for discipleship resource work in 2023. The foundation also supports churches and ministries through operating grants such as $132,000 to Bridge Community Church, $128,050 to Gathering Christian Fellowship, and $125,000 to Life Christian Center in 2024. Beyond faith organizations, its recent grants include support for a hospital, a veterans-centered foundation, and community service groups. The pattern suggests long-term institutional support rather than one-time project funding, with a mix of large six-figure awards and smaller operating grants.
Faith-based operating support is a core theme. Bridge Community Church received $132,000 in 2024 and $117,250 in 2025 for support for daily operations, while Gathering Christian Fellowship received $128,050 in 2024 and $118,200 in 2025 for the same purpose. Christian education is another steady area: the University of Northwestern St Paul was funded in 2023, 2024, and 2025, including grants of $245,984, $247,978, and $49,454. The foundation also backs ministries with specific programming. Rosser Foundation received $100,000 in 2023 for discipleship resource work. Veterans-related giving appears through Stone Ridge Foundation, which received $120,000 in 2023 and $60,000 in both 2024 and 2025 for Healthy Veterans Community. Community service organizations also appear, including Community Action Stops Abuse Inc in St Petersburg.
Typical awards cluster around the low five figures, with a p25 of $15,000, a median of $20,210, and a p75 of $109,100. The recent record shows repeated grants to the same recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. Grants are often labeled support for daily or general support, and the foundation also makes targeted program grants and some scholarship-related gifts. It funds individuals as well as organizations, and it is not listed as making program-related investments.
