The Matt & Judy Cullen Foundation concentrates its modest grantmaking on local, faith-linked social services and parish education in the Long Beach area, favoring broad general-purpose support over tightly restricted projects. A small number of recipients receive the majority of funds, with repeat awards to emergency relief, homeless/rescue mission work, faith-based youth programs, and a Catholic school. Their giving signals a preference for locally rooted, religiously affiliated organizations that serve vulnerable populations and children.
A $82,000 general-purpose grant to 5ROCK RANCH in 2025 is the clearest sign of how the Matt & Judy Cullen Foundation gives: concentrated, flexible support to a small circle of local and faith-linked organizations, with some awards reaching beyond Long Beach to nearby California and one recipient in Oregon. The foundation’s recent record shows repeated support for social service providers, parish-connected education, and youth-oriented programs, usually as undesignated funding rather than project-only grants. Long Beach Rescue Mission received $60,081 in 2025 and $30,000 in 2023, making it one of the most visible recurring recipients in the file. St. Joseph Catholic School in Long Beach also appears with general-purpose support, including a $42,500 grant in 2025 and a $12,000 grant in 2023. The pattern is consistent with a funder that backs organizations serving vulnerable populations, children, and faith-based community programs through straightforward operating support. Across the grant list, the foundation’s giving stays relatively modest in the nonprofit-conference sense, but it is deliberate: several organizations reappear year after year, and multiple awards go to the same Long Beach institutions.
Faith-based homeless and recovery services are a clear priority. Long Beach Rescue Mission received $60,081 in 2025 and $30,000 in 2023, both listed as general-purpose grants. Education shows up through parish-affiliated schooling and outreach. St. Joseph Catholic School in Long Beach received $42,500 in 2025 and $12,000 in 2023, while Marian Educational Outreach received $10,000 in 2024 and $5,000 in 2023. The foundation also supports family and child services. Precious Lamb, a Long Beach organization, received $20,000 in 2023, $9,750 in 2024, and $7,000 in 2025. In addition, local aid organizations such as Care Closet Lbc and Boys and Girls Club of Long Beach appear repeatedly in the grant record.
Typical grant sizes cluster in the low thousands: the p25 is $2,500, the median is $5,000, and the p75 is $9,875. The recent record shows repeated awards to several recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-time support. Nearly every grant is marked general purpose, which points to flexible funding rather than tightly restricted project grants. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
