The Maurice Paul and Glennys Brimmer Foundation concentrates its support on local Cedar Rapids-area nonprofits that provide direct social services, community economic development, and faith-based relief. Grants tend to fund operational or program support for established charities and civic groups, including hospitality/food access programs, faith-driven relief organizations, and public safety-related causes. The foundation prefers a small number of sizeable awards rather than many small grants and shows willingness to make repeat gifts to organizations it prioritizes.
A $100,000 grant to Catholic Worker House and a $60,000 grant to Matthew 25 show how the Maurice Paul and Glennys Brimmer Foundation favors established Cedar Rapids organizations working in direct service, relief, and faith-linked community support. The pattern is consistent across its recent giving: large, repeated awards to a small set of local nonprofits rather than a broad portfolio of one-time gifts. The foundation’s recent grants also point to a preference for organizations that can use flexible support for ongoing work. Green Square Meals received $50,000 in both 2023 and 2024, while I Know Jack Foundation received $50,000 in 2024 and 2025. That kind of repeat funding suggests the foundation stays with groups it already knows and prioritizes. Its grantees include emergency-assistance providers, food-access organizations, and civic charities, along with faith-based groups and public-safety-related nonprofits. Awards often go to established institutions rather than startups or individuals, and several recipients appear across multiple years. The result is a grantmaking profile built around continuity, local relationships, and support for organizations already embedded in Cedar Rapids community life.
Faith-based and charitable service organizations are a clear part of the foundation’s portfolio. It gave $100,000 to Catholic Worker House in 2023 and $60,000 to Matthew 25 in 2023, both with the stated purpose of supporting established charitable, education, or religious organizations. Food access and community gathering also appear in the record. NewBo City Market received $50,000 in 2025, alongside repeated $50,000 awards to Green Square Meals in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation also supports emergency assistance and housing-related relief through grants such as $50,000 to Olivet Mission in 2024 and $25,000 to Helping Hands in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Public-safety charities are present as well, including $50,000 to Cedar Rapids Police Protective Charity in 2025. Health and family support show up in grants to Community Health Free Clinic and Mercy Family Caregiver, both in 2025.
Typical awards are substantial: the grant-size distribution sits at $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $25,000 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows a few larger outliers, but most grants cluster around the middle of that range. The foundation repeatedly backs the same organizations across multiple years, including Green Square Meals, I Know Jack Foundation, Catholic Worker House, Matthew 25, Helping Hands, Boys & Girls Club, and St Lukes Foundation. That repeat pattern points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off transactions. It is a foundation grantmaker, not an individual-giving or PRI vehicle, and the recent grants are framed as support for established charitable, education, or religious organizations.
