The Norris-Rocaberte family foundation concentrates its giving in higher education and faith-based community institutions, with a strong tilt toward supporting a single university partner alongside local Episcopal/Methodist ministries and a regional church camp. Most dollars go to a small number of organizations, suggesting targeted, mission-driven gifts rather than broad community giving.
Concentrated giving: a few relatively large grants make up most of the budget (two sizable grants to CSU Stanislaus account for ~70% of total), combined with single mid-size gifts to faith-based organizations; repeat funding to at least one core institutional partner.
Rockcares the Norris-rocaberte Family Foundation shows a clear pattern of concentrated, unrestricted support: one university partner has received the foundation’s largest recent gifts, including a $125,000 grant in 2024 and a $70,000 grant in 2023 to the California State University Stanislaus Foundation in Turlock. Around that anchor, the foundation also backs a small set of faith-based and community institutions, including Galilee Episcopal Camp in Glenbrook and parish support in Marietta. The recent record suggests targeted relationships rather than a broad scatter of awards, with grants repeated to the same organizations across multiple years. The foundation’s giving profile combines higher education support with church and camp funding in California and beyond. It funds unrestricted awards, which indicates flexibility in how recipients use the money. Within the recent grants list, the same grantees recur often, including Mt Zion United Methodist Church and Episcopal Church of St Peter and St Paul, both of which appear in more than one year. That repetition points to ongoing institutional support, with the foundation favoring a few named partners over many one-time recipients.
Higher education is one of the foundation’s main themes. In 2024, it gave $125,000 to the California State University Stanislaus Foundation in Turlock for unrestricted support, following a $70,000 unrestricted grant to the same recipient in 2023. That repeated funding makes the university a central recipient in the foundation’s recent record. Faith-based institutions are another clear focus. The foundation gave $32,500 in 2023 and $15,000 in 2024 to Galilee Episcopal Camp in Glenbrook, both unrestricted. It also supported parish operations with $25,000 in 2025 to Episcopal Church of St Peter and St Paul in Marietta, Georgia, and $25,000 in 2025 to Mt Zion United Methodist Church in Marietta, California. The recent list also includes smaller community-oriented awards. In 2025, the foundation gave $10,000 to Lassiter Naval Junior Rotc Cadet Parent Organization in Marietta, Georgia, and earlier supported GLSEN Inc in New York with a $15,000 unrestricted grant.
Typical awards are modest to mid-sized, with a p25 of $10,000, a median of $12,500, and a p75 of $28,125. The recent record shows a small number of larger gifts alongside many $10,000 to $25,000 grants. The same organizations receive support in multiple years, including California State University Stanislaus Foundation, Galilee Episcopal Camp, Mt Zion United Methodist Church, and Episcopal Church of St Peter and St Paul. All listed grants are unrestricted, pointing to flexible support rather than project-specific funding. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
