About Martin Family Foundation C/O Larry Bean

The Martin Family Foundation C/o Larry Bean has made a defining commitment to Central Denver Classical High School, including a $515,000 grant in 2025 for scholarship support, athletic equipment, and phase II chapel construction. That single relationship captures much of how the foundation gives: it backs faith-based education with large, targeted awards that combine tuition help, capital work, and program expansion. Recent grants show a strong preference for Catholic and Christian institutions and for projects tied to formation, discipleship, and school growth. In Denver, the foundation supported Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School with tuition aid and development staffing, and it provided major support to Seeds of Hope for educational purposes across multiple years. The foundation also funded Wyoming Catholic College for scholarships and backed Catholic Charities & Community Services for counseling and renovation work. Across the portfolio, awards often connect a practical need with a mission-driven purpose, such as chapel construction, scholarship programs, seminarian formation, and evangelism. The pattern is consistent with a regional funder that makes selective grants to a relatively small set of organizations rather than dispersing many small awards.
