The Oltmans Construction Co Foundation focuses heavily on faith-based social services and youth-focused programs in Orange County and surrounding Southern California communities. Its largest support goes to Christian-run emergency shelter and recovery work, while a second strand of giving backs men’s discipleship/golf ministries and organizations serving at-risk youth through mentoring, after-school education, and foster-care support. The foundation favors organizations that combine faith formation with direct social services and child welfare/education interventions.
The Oltmans Construction Co Foundation’s clearest pattern is a pair of very large grants to Orange County Rescue Mission, including $475,000 in 2023 and $449,362 in 2024. That repeated support signals a strong commitment to faith-based homeless services, recovery, and basic-needs care in Southern California. Across its recent giving, the foundation backs organizations that combine direct service with Christian ministry, especially groups working with people experiencing homelessness, men in discipleship settings, and children and youth in vulnerable circumstances. The foundation’s recent grants also show support for programs tied to youth development and foster-care support. Olive Crest Academy received $62,996 in 2023 for its whole-child education model, while Boys & Girls Clubs in Irvine received $41,125 in 2025 for mentoring and access to tools that help children pursue their ambitions. Other gifts go to ministries and youth-serving organizations that pair character formation with practical assistance. The result is a grantmaking profile centered on local Southern California institutions, with faith as a recurring organizing thread and social services as the delivery mechanism.
Faith-based homeless shelter and recovery work is the largest visible theme in the foundation’s recent grants. Orange County Rescue Mission received $475,000 in 2023 and $449,362 in 2024 for services that include guidance, counseling, education, job training, shelter, food, clothing, health care, and independent living support. A second strand supports Christian men’s discipleship and leadership formation. Every Man Ministries received $90,790 in 2023 for its mission of creating men of God who lead others in personal character and leadership, and Link Players International Inc received multiple gifts for a golf-based faith community. The foundation also funds youth development and care for vulnerable children. Olive Crest Academy received $62,996 in 2023 for whole-child support, while KidWorks received $25,000 in 2025 for licensed preschool, after-school programs, tutoring, mentoring, and college-readiness work.
Typical gifts cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $25,000, a median of $29,681, and a p75 of $62,996. The distribution is skewed by two much larger grants to Orange County Rescue Mission. The same recipients can appear across multiple years: Link Players International Inc received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Big Brothers Big Sisters received grants in both 2024 and 2025. The pattern suggests relationship-based, repeat funding rather than one-off awards. The foundation is a local grantmaker, and the data shows no grants to individuals or program-related investments.
