To honor the legacy of Antone and Marie Raymus by supporting and empowering local communities through educational, religious, scientific and charitable grantmaking, with a focus on improving quality of life in the Central Valley.
The Antone and Marie Raymus Foundation ties its grantmaking to a legacy of supporting local communities through educational, religious, scientific, and charitable work, with a stated focus on improving quality of life in the Central Valley. Its annual grant program is built around qualified 501(c)(3) organizations, and the foundation repeatedly names San Joaquin County and Stanislaus County as priority areas. That gives the giving a clear regional shape: local service organizations, community institutions, and nonprofits working directly with residents. Recent grants show that pattern in practice. The foundation awarded $230,000 to Saint Mary's Dining Room for food security and direct support, and $160,000 to The Salvation Army for homelessness services and related community needs. The program descriptions also show an interest in tangible needs and projects that directly benefit residents, rather than broad or abstract initiatives. Across education, healthcare, community development, religious purposes, and charitable support, the foundation's grantmaking is aimed at organizations serving people in the Central Valley.
In education, the foundation supports K-12 and community education work through annual grantmaking to qualified nonprofits in the Central Valley. In healthcare access and services, it funds organizations serving local residents, with program language pointing to healthcare as a recurring priority in San Joaquin County and Stanislaus County. Community development is another core area, including neighborhood-oriented charitable work and projects that directly benefit residents. The foundation also supports cultural enrichment and arts-related activity through its general grant program, which names cultural enrichment among its focus areas. Its broader charitable grantmaking extends to religious, scientific, and community-serving purposes, giving the foundation a flexible structure for local nonprofit support.
The foundation's grantmaking is not concentrated in small awards alone; recent grants include a median around $50,000, with the middle half of awards ranging from about $50,000 to $200,000. The pattern also includes several larger commitments, including six-figure grants, alongside smaller distributions. It operates as a private foundation and gives through annual grant programs rather than a program-related investment structure. Multiple active programs accept unsolicited requests, indicating an open application channel. The available data also points to recurring annual grantmaking rather than one-time disbursements only.

Giving is focused in California but not in the foundation's HQ city. Program language names San Joaquin County and Stanislaus County as priority geographies, with a broader Central Valley emphasis. Recent recipient locations include Stockton and Modesto, which align with that county-level focus. The provided distribution shows 0% of grants going to recipients in California as the HQ state, suggesting the foundation's grant geography is described more narrowly by service area than by headquarters location.
The foundation funds qualified 501(c)(3) organizations. Its active programs describe support for nonprofits advancing educational, religious, scientific, and charitable purposes, with additional emphasis on healthcare, community development, cultural enrichment, homelessness services, and food security.
