The Joseph & Katherine Castucci Foundation concentrates its giving on local youth recreation and community services in West Covina, CA, providing large, general-operating gifts to grassroots organizations that run youth sports and community programming. Grants are unrestricted “general contribution” awards, suggesting a priority on sustaining programming and operations rather than project-specific funding. The foundation appears locally focused and values organizations that serve children and families through sports and community services.
Concentrated, high-dollar grants to a very small number of local grantees; repeat or multiple awards to youth league organizations and a focus on unrestricted/general contributions.
The Joseph & Katherine Castucci Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by a $210,000 general contribution to West Covina Community Services Foun in 2025, a signal of how strongly it favors flexible support for local community-serving groups. The pattern is consistently practical: grants are labeled “GENERAL CONTRIBUTION,” and the recipients are mostly youth leagues, senior services, and neighborhood nonprofits in the West Covina and Covina area. In 2025, the foundation also gave $102,500 to Csha Youth League in Fullerton, showing that its support can extend beyond its immediate city while still staying within California. Other sizeable awards include repeated support for Maverick Baseball Academy and West Covina Senior Citizens Assn, both of which reflect a mix of youth recreation and community services. The overall profile is one of place-based philanthropy centered on organizations that run sports programs, serve older adults, and maintain community infrastructure. Rather than funding a narrow project, the foundation appears to back operating strength across a small circle of local nonprofit programs.
Youth sports and athletic programs are a clear throughline. The foundation gave $50,000 to Csha Youth Leagues in West Covina in 2024, $10,000 to Maverick Baseball Academy in West Covina in both 2024 and 2025, and $8,000 to West Covina Bruins Youth Football in Fullerton in 2024. Community and senior services are another focus area: it awarded $10,000 to West Covina Senior Citizens Assn in 2025 and $7,000 to San Gabriel Valley Senior Softball Associatiion Corp in 2023. The foundation also supported civic and community organizations such as Covina Rotary Charities with multiple grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Alongside that, it made grants to West Covina Unified, Project 2911, and Five Acres-the Boys and Girls Aid Society of Los Angeles County, showing a broad but locally oriented portfolio of community support.
The typical grant size is modest: p25 is $1,000, median is $2,000, and p75 is $4,600. That distribution sits alongside a handful of much larger general-contribution awards, which suggests a core pattern of small-to-mid-sized operating support with occasional larger gifts. The grants are not project-specific in the recent list; they are consistently labeled “GENERAL CONTRIBUTION.” Recipients also reappear across multiple years, including Csha Youth Leagues, Maverick Baseball Academy, Covina Rotary Charities, K-9 Partners of Covina, and West Covina Senior Citizen Association, indicating recurring support rather than one-time awards. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
