The Mullin Family Foundation (Barbara Mullin) concentrates on community-level social services in New Jersey—especially food security, local youth and scholarship programs—while also supporting international humanitarian and medical relief. Grants are often repeated to the same organizations and split between hometown nonprofits (food banks, local community funds, music and youth programs) and established global relief groups (Mercy Ships, Doctors Without Borders, Heifer). The foundation favors direct charitable contributions across faith-based, veteran/housing, and emergency relief causes.
A repeated pattern of support for New Jersey hunger relief stands out in Mullin Family Foundation Barbara Mullin’s recent grantmaking. Fulfill - Neptune received $15,000 in 2025, after $14,000 in 2023 and $13,000 in 2024, and Food Bank - Hillside received $13,000 in 2023, $10,000 in 2024, and $10,000 in 2025. Those recurring awards sit alongside local community support such as Community Hope Fund (ocean Twp), which received $10,000 in 2023, $10,000 in 2024, and $10,000 in 2025. The foundation’s giving is also not limited to nearby organizations: it backs international humanitarian and medical relief, including Mercy Ships, Doctors Without Borders, and What If Foundation. Recent grants show a mix of food banks, scholarship support, youth-oriented programs, faith-linked organizations, and veterans’ housing and rehabilitation efforts. The pattern suggests a general charitable fund that uses direct contributions across a small set of recurring nonprofits rather than a single program-specific agenda.
Food security is one of the clearest themes. In 2025, the foundation gave $15,000 to Fulfill - Neptune for charitable contribution, and it also supported Food Bank - Hillside with $13,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in both 2024 and 2025. Community-based relief appears through Community Hope Fund (ocean Twp), which received $10,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025. Education and youth support show up in scholarship and school-related giving: Scholarship Fund Inner-city Childre received $9,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, while New Hope Girls Academy received $10,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation also funded Resemont College - Experience Fund with $10,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Typical awards are modest and clustered around a narrow band: p25 is $2,500, median grant size is $5,000, and p75 is $9,000. The recent record also shows repeated support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially in New Jersey-based charities and a few larger humanitarian groups. Grants are direct charitable contributions rather than program-related investments, and the foundation does not fund individuals. The structure looks like a family foundation style of giving with flexible, recurring gifts rather than a one-time grant cycle.

Moderately concentrated: many mid-sized, repeat grants (multiple 3‑grant patterns) split between a cohort of recurring local grantees and a set of well-known international relief organizations; giving is largely one-time annual gifts rather than large multi‑year structured commitments.
Notable grantees: FULFILL (Neptune), Food Bank – Hillside, Mercy Ships, Doctors Without Borders, New Hope Girls Academy
