The Stan and Jean Bradshaw Foundation is a small, locally focused funder that concentrates support on community-serving faith-based organizations and youth programs in the Pinehurst area. Grants are general operating in nature, indicating trust in grantee leadership rather than project-specific funding, and the foundation repeatedly funds the same handful of organizations. Their giving reflects an emphasis on sustaining local chapel ministry and youth development activities.
Concentrated and recurrent: a small number of moderate-sized general operating grants, multiple-year or repeated awards to the same core grantees rather than one-off, widely distributed gifts.
Notable grantees: Village Chapel, Boys & Girls Club, ZOE
A defining feature of the Stan and Jean Bradshaw Foundation is its repeated general-support funding for the same local organizations over consecutive years. Village Chapel received $42,000 in 2024 after a $41,500 grant in 2023, and the Boys & Girls Club followed with $25,000 in 2024 after $20,000 the year before. That pattern points to a funder that sustains organizations already in its orbit rather than moving across many unrelated causes. The foundation’s recent grant record also shows support for faith-based community work and youth services alongside education, health, and local civic life. Zoe received $17,000 in both 2023 and 2024, while Patriot Foundation received $10,000 in each of those years. Other grants reached Sandhills Community College Foundation, Carolina Philharmonic, O'neal School, Moore Free Clinic, Family Promise, and United Way of Moore County. Across the list, the grants are mostly unrestricted or general support, which suggests an emphasis on keeping core operations funded. The pattern is local and relationship-driven, with many recipients in Moore County communities.
Faith-based work is central to the foundation’s giving. Village Chapel received $42,000 in 2024 for general support, and Zoe received $17,000 in 2024 for general support as well. Those grants show support for church ministry and faith-based outreach. Youth and family services are another clear theme. The Boys & Girls Club received $25,000 in 2024 for general support, while Family Promise was funded at $1,000 in 2024 and $2,500 in 2023. The foundation also gave $1,000 to Partners for Children in Carthage, supporting a wider family-services network. Education and community institutions appear in the grant list too. Sandhills Community College Foundation received $3,463 in 2024, and Richmond Community College received $5,000 in 2024. Smaller gifts went to Carolina Philharmonic and Sandhills Repertory Theatre, showing support that extends beyond direct human-services funding.
The foundation’s typical grant size is modest, with a p25 of $1,000, a median of $3,000, and a p75 of $10,000. That spread fits a pattern of small-to-mid-size operating support rather than large project grants. The same organizations appear in multiple years, including Village Chapel, Boys & Girls Club, Zoe, Patriot Foundation, and Family Promise, which points to recurring support. The grant descriptions are consistently general support or general, and the foundation does not make program-related investments.
