The Nunn Charitable Trust directs all of its recorded giving to a single local congregation — First Presbyterian Church of Sweetwater, TX — reflecting a mission to support religious worship and church operations as required by the trust instrument. Its grants are formal, recurring disbursements to a specific faith-based beneficiary rather than competitive or open philanthropy. The foundation functions chiefly as a designated/mandated donor for one religious organization in its home community.
Highly concentrated: all documented funding goes to a single grantee via multiple required distributions; the trust appears to make repeat, purpose-specific payments rather than competitive or broad community grants.
Nunn Charitable Tr directs all recorded giving to a small set of Texas recipients under a trust instrument that requires distributions to religious organizations. The largest recent grant in the file was $45,743 to First Presbyterian Church in Sweetwater, followed by another substantial award of $35,729 to the same church the next year. That pattern shows a funder whose role is to fulfill a specific mandated purpose rather than to run an open-ended grant program. The trust’s giving is centered on one congregation in Sweetwater, with additional grants also reaching two other Texas beneficiaries: Presbyterian Children’s Homes Servi in Austin and Sweetwater County-city Library in Sweetwater. Across the available record, the foundation’s grants stay within the same local and faith-linked circle, reflecting a tightly directed distribution pattern. With annual grants of $128,875 and total assets of $714,984, Nunn Charitable Tr operates on a modest but consistent scale, with the trust’s terms shaping both recipient selection and grant purpose.
Religious support is the core of the trust’s work. First Presbyterian Church in Sweetwater received $35,729 in 2024 and $41,183 in 2025, both described as required distributions to a religious organization under the trust instrument. Beyond the congregation itself, the trust also supports related faith-based institutions in Texas. Presbyterian Children’s Homes Servi in Austin received $1,548 in 2023 and $509 in 2024, again marked as required distributions to a religious organization. A third Texas recipient appears in the recent record: Sweetwater County-city Library received $1,548 in 2023 and $509 in 2024. The repeated language across grants indicates that these awards follow the same directed-purpose structure rather than separate program competitions.
Typical grants are small, with a p25 of $1,053, a median of $1,548, and a p75 of $35,729. The spread reflects a structure with one large required distribution and several much smaller payments. The record shows recurring support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially First Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian Children’s Homes Servi, and Sweetwater County-city Library. This is not an open application fund; the trust instrument directs the distributions. Nunn Charitable Tr does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
