The Pelton Charitable Foundation directs nearly all of its known giving to a single organization, providing unrestricted operating support. Its grants indicate a strong, concentrated commitment to one arts/cultural or community-serving nonprofit (LA PUENTE HOME INCORPORATED) rather than a broad portfolio of causes. The foundation appears to prefer flexible funding that lets grantees allocate resources where most needed.
The Pelton Charitable Foundation Inc gives with unusual concentration: its largest recent grant went to La Puente Home Incorporated in Alamosa, Colorado, and the same organization also received a second, smaller grant the following year. That pattern points to a funder that supports ongoing work with flexibility rather than spreading attention across many unrelated recipients. The foundation’s recent giving also includes support for a church-based community setting in Manchaca, Texas, along with grants to a marine conservation group, a relief agency, and a breast cancer research organization. Across those examples, the common thread is practical support for organizations carrying out direct service, congregational life, environmental education, and medical research. The Pelton Charitable Foundation Inc also shows a preference for unrestricted funding in several cases, which suggests it often backs organizations at the operating level. Its grant history includes both multi-year relationships and one-off awards, with individual grants ranging from small program gifts to a 40,000-dollar award. For a nonprofit researcher, the clearest read is a foundation that favors focused, repeated support for selected organizations rather than broad thematic diversification.
In community service, the foundation gave 40,000 dollars in 2023 and 35,450 dollars in 2024 to La Puente Home Incorporated for La Puente Home Inc fund and General & Unrestricted support. That pair is the clearest sign of sustained backing for a single service provider. In faith-based and local cultural work, St Albans Episcopal Church in Manchaca, Texas received multiple grants across two years, including 10,000 dollars for a Capital Campaign, 8,560 dollars and 8,805 dollars for General & Unrestricted support, and 1,500 dollars for its Choir and Music Department. The foundation also supported environmental and relief work: Reef Environmental Education Foundation Incorporated in Key Largo, Florida received 11,000 dollars in both 2023 and 2024, plus 1,500 dollars for a Capital Campaign, while United Methodist Committee on Relief received 6,000 dollars in 2023 and 5,000 dollars in 2024 for UMCOR.
The Pelton Charitable Foundation Inc works at a relatively small gift scale: the 25th percentile is 500 dollars, the median is 750 dollars, and the 75th percentile is 1,000 dollars. Recent grants show a mix of repeat awards and one-time support, with several organizations appearing in both 2023 and 2024, including La Puente Home Incorporated, Reef Environmental Education Foundation Incorporated, St Albans Episcopal Church, United Methodist Committee on Relief, and Divers Alert Network. The foundation also funds individuals and does not make program-related investments. The pattern points to flexible grantmaking, with many awards labeled General & Unrestricted alongside some restricted-purpose gifts such as capital campaigns, research, and departmental support.

Highly concentrated — repeat grants to one primary grantee; moderate-size awards provided as general operating support rather than many small, distributed grants.
