The Richard Dunn Family Foundation concentrates its giving almost exclusively on private Catholic secondary education in Los Angeles, directing all recorded grants to two established high schools. Grants appear unrestricted/charitable in purpose and are split between a prominent Jesuit boys' school and a Catholic girls' school, indicating an interest in supporting faith-based, single-sex secondary education in the local area.
Highly concentrated and repeat giving: a small number of relatively large grants directed to two recurring grantees, focused geographically and thematically rather than broadly distributed.
The Richard Dunn Family Foundation’s recorded giving is anchored by three-year support for Loyola High School and Immaculate Heart High School, both in Los Angeles. Those two schools account for the clearest pattern in the file: repeated charity-use grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with Loyola receiving $52,000, $51,000, and $50,000 across those years, and Immaculate Heart receiving $35,000 in each of the same three years. That makes the foundation’s identity unusually readable for a small family funder: it is not spread across many sectors, but concentrated on faith-based secondary education and a short list of related Catholic institutions. Beyond the two schools, the foundation also supports other Los Angeles-area Catholic organizations and affiliated community institutions. Recent awards include Dolores Mission School, St Luke Catholic Community, and The Hospitaller Foundation of CA, alongside grants to Homeboy Industries and several local parishes. The pattern suggests ongoing institutional support rather than one-off project funding, with charity-use language appearing repeatedly across the record. The 2025 filing shows annual grants of $652,723 against assets of $4,352,291, placing the foundation in a modest but active private-family-funder profile.
Catholic secondary education is the clearest theme in the record. The foundation gave $50,000 to Loyola High School in 2025 for charity use, after similarly sized grants in prior years, and it gave $35,000 to Immaculate Heart High School in 2025 for charity use. Those recurring awards point to sustained support for private Catholic schools rather than episodic school projects. Its broader Los Angeles-area Catholic giving includes $18,000 to Dolores Mission School in 2025 for charity use and $17,000 to St Luke Catholic Community in Temple City for charity use. Parish and faith-community support also appears in grants to St Ignatious of Loyola Parish and St Teresa of Avila, both in Los Angeles. Outside the school and parish lane, the foundation made charity-use grants to Homeboy Industries and The Hospitaller Foundation of CA, showing some support for Catholic-affiliated social service organizations as well.
Typical grant size sits at $500 at the 25th percentile, $2,000 at the median, and $5,162 at the 75th percentile, which indicates a small-grant base with a handful of larger institutional awards. The recent record shows repeated support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially the two Los Angeles secondary schools and several other local organizations, so the pattern is more recurring than one-off. The foundation is a regular funder rather than a donor-advised fund and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Grants are described as charity use or 501(c)(3) charity use, suggesting general charitable support rather than tightly specified project funding.

Notable grantees: Loyola High School, Immaculate Heart High School
Grantmaking is overwhelmingly U.S.-based, with the recipient country distribution showing 120 grants in the United States. California accounts for 69% of grants to recipients, while the top state by grant count is Washington. Within the recent grant list, Los Angeles is the central city, joined by Temple City, Downey, Burbank, Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and Wellesley Hills. The geographic footprint is regional overall, with a strong concentration in Southern California and only occasional out-of-state giving.
The record centers on private Catholic secondary education and related Catholic institutions. Repeated grants go to Loyola High School and Immaculate Heart High School, and other awards reach Dolores Mission School, parishes such as St Luke Catholic Community and St Ignatious of Loyola Parish, and Catholic-affiliated organizations like The Hospitaller Foundation of CA.
They are often recurring. Loyola High School received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Immaculate Heart High School did as well. Dolores Mission School also appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, showing a multi-year pattern of support for selected recipients.
Typical awards are modest, with a 25th percentile of $500, a median of $2,000, and a 75th percentile of $5,162. The recent list also shows a few larger institutional grants, including amounts in the tens of thousands for the main Los Angeles schools.
Recipient organizations are overwhelmingly in the United States, and 69% of grants go to recipients in California. The recent grant list is heavily centered in Los Angeles, with additional California recipients in Temple City, Downey, Burbank, Pacific Palisades, and Altadena.
The grants are labeled charity use or 501(c)(3) charity use. That points to general charitable support rather than program-specific awards, and the foundation is listed as a regular funder that does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
