The Chris Tucker Foundation directs all of its recorded giving to a single faith-based recipient, indicating a strong focus on supporting a local church and its related activities. All grants go to New Life Tabernacle in Stockbridge, GA, suggesting the foundation is essentially a private vehicle for funding that congregation’s programs or general operations. The giving is highly targeted and likely locally oriented, with no evidence of diversified philanthropic interests beyond this church.
Extremely concentrated: all funds awarded to one grantee across multiple grants, indicating repeat, targeted support rather than diversified or competitive grantmaking.
The Chris Tucker Foundation’s recorded giving is built around one recipient: New Life Tabernacle in Atlanta, which received the largest grants in the file, including $75,000 in 2023 and $60,000 in 2025. That pattern makes the foundation’s priorities unusually clear. Rather than a broad grant portfolio, it appears to use philanthropy to support a single church and its related activities, with additional grants extending to a small set of faith-based and community organizations in Georgia and a few other states. Within the recent grant record, the foundation also directed $20,000 to The King Center in Atlanta and $12,500 to Paine College in Augusta. Those awards sit alongside repeated support for church, scholarship, and outreach recipients, including grants to groups in metro Atlanta and smaller gifts to individual beneficiaries. The overall picture is of a targeted funder with modest-to-mid-sized grants, a local orientation, and a strong connection to congregational and community-based giving.
Faith-based support is the clearest thread in the record. New Life Tabernacle in Atlanta received multiple donations, including $48,000 in 2023 and $6,000 in 2023, showing repeated support for one congregation rather than one-off project funding. Education appears through scholarship-related gifts and school support. The foundation gave $12,500 to Paine College in Augusta as a scholarship and $7,000 to Columbia High School in Decatur as a donation. A separate scholarship grant of $5,000 went to Reagan Horne in 2023. Community outreach is another recurring theme. The foundation gave $5,000 to Jerusalem House in Atlanta and $2,500, $2,200, and $2,000 to Slam Dunk Booster Club in Covington, suggesting smaller, repeated awards within local community networks.
The typical grant size centers on relatively small awards: the 25th percentile is $2,425, the median is $5,000, and the 75th percentile is $10,000. The distribution shows frequent gifts in the low-thousands with a smaller number of larger awards. The foundation’s latest 990 year on file is 2025, and the record shows grants in both 2023 and 2025, indicating continued activity across years. It also funds individuals, as shown by scholarship or personal-name grants in the recent record. The pattern is highly targeted rather than diversified, with repeated support concentrated among a small set of recipients.
