The Anjulicia Foundation appears focused on local community wellbeing with concentrated, large general-purpose grants to faith-based and direct service organizations. Their giving supports a mix of spiritual institutions, food and basic-needs ministries, youth mental health/education programming, and housing or social services for vulnerable populations. Gifts are typically unrestricted (“GENERAL”) and intended to support organizational capacity rather than specific projects.
A $500,000 general grant to First Story is the clearest recent signal of The Anjulicia Foundation’s approach: large, unrestricted support for organizations working with vulnerable people in and around Central Oregon. Across recent awards, the foundation backs direct service groups, churches, youth-serving nonprofits, and housing-related charities with general operating funds rather than tightly restricted project dollars. The pattern includes repeat support for First Story, The Giving Plate, Westside Church, and Mindup, showing an interest in organizations that can use flexible funding to maintain day-to-day services and programming. The grant list also points to a mix of community care and faith-based engagement. The Anjulicia Foundation has funded food access, shelter, youth development, and congregational ministries, often at six-figure levels. Recent awards include $102,500 to Shepherd’s House Ministries, $100,000 to Bethlehem Inn for the Transforming Lives Together Campaign, and $150,000 each to Mindup and Westside Church. Smaller and mid-sized grants continue the same theme, with support for organizations such as Abilitree, St Vincent De Paul Bend, and Young Life. The overall picture is of a regional funder using substantial general support to strengthen local organizations serving practical needs and community life.
Food security appears consistently in the foundation’s giving. The Giving Plate received $255,000 in 2023 as a general fund grant and another $150,000 in 2025, while St Vincent De Paul Bend received $75,000 in 2025 and $50,000 in 2023, both as general support. Those awards place meal access and basic-needs relief among the foundation’s clearest priorities. Youth development and education-related work is another recurring lane. Mindup received $150,000 in 2025 and $100,000 in 2023 for general funding, and Young Life received $75,000 in 2025 and $50,000 in 2023. The foundation also gave $51,000 to Bend Senior High School for scholarships and pageant support. Housing and social services show up through Bethlehem Inn, which received $100,000 in 2025 for the Transforming Lives Together Campaign, and Shepherd’s House Ministries, which received $102,500 in 2025. Abilitree also received $57,500 in 2025 as general support.

Notable grantees: FIRST STORY, THE GIVING PLATE, MINDUP, WESTSIDE CHURCH
Typical grant size centers on the middle of the range: the p25 is $5,000, the median is $12,000, and the p75 is $50,000. Recent giving shows a mix of smaller awards and several large, flexible grants above $100,000. The same organizations appear across multiple years, including First Story, The Giving Plate, Mindup, Westside Church, Bethlehem Inn, Young Life, St Vincent De Paul Bend, and Heart of Oregon Corp Inc, indicating repeat support rather than one-off gifts. The foundation makes grants directly, funds individuals, and uses general operating support frequently. The recent grant list does not show an application process.
