The Jiao and Duan Family Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on a single faith-based beneficiary in Silicon Valley, providing unrestricted support to the Silicon Valley Christian Assembly. Their giving appears locally focused and directed toward sustaining a Christian congregation and its community activities rather than multiple causes or institutions.
Highly concentrated: all recorded grants (three) go to one repeat grantee; relatively modest total giving but committed multi-touch support to a single organization rather than broad or diversified grantmaking.
Notable grantees: Silicon Valley Christian Assembly
The Jiao and Duan Family Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by a consistent pattern of unrestricted support to Silicon Valley Christian Assembly, including grants of $56,000 in 2024, $42,000 in 2023, and $31,000 in 2025. That repeated support makes the church the clearest window into the foundation’s priorities: sustaining a local Christian congregation and its related community activity through flexible funding rather than project-specific awards. Beyond that core relationship, the foundation’s wider grant list shows a small set of additional gifts to organizations in education, faith-based service, and the arts. Rochester Institute of Technology received $2,000 in 2025, while World Vision received grants of $1,100 in 2023 and $800 in 2024. The foundation also made modest unrestricted awards to several California arts institutions, including the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Center for Photographic Art, the Los Angeles Center of Photography, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Overall, the grant pattern suggests a family foundation with a concentrated local base and a few small supplemental grants outside that center.
The foundation’s largest non-core grants point to a mix of education, humanitarian, and arts interests. In education, Rochester Institute of Technology received $2,000 in 2025, the largest grant outside the church relationship. In humanitarian and faith-based service, World Vision received $1,100 in 2023 and $800 in 2024, both unrestricted. Its arts giving is smaller but visible in California institutions. The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco received $1,050 in 2023, the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel received $1,000 in 2023, the Los Angeles Center of Photography received $923 in 2023, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art received $650 in 2024. These grants show that the foundation’s giving is not limited entirely to congregational support, even though that remains its dominant pattern.
Typical grant size is small: the 25th percentile is $650, the median is $1,000, and the 75th percentile is $2,000. The grant list shows a strong repeat pattern at Silicon Valley Christian Assembly across 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating ongoing support rather than one-time funding. The foundation appears to use unrestricted, general operating support frequently, including for its largest and several smaller awards. It is a family foundation and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
