The 346 Foundation concentrates almost exclusively on faith-based giving, directing unrestricted operating support to Protestant congregations and mission organizations — notably Korean-language and evangelical churches. A large portion of its funds flow to a single core recipient (Peace Korean Reformed Church) with several smaller grants to other churches and a mission group, suggesting a donor intent focused on sustaining local church operations and ethnic Korean Christian ministry.
Highly concentrated faith-based giving: a small number of grants (7 total) with one dominant, repeat grantee receiving the majority of funds; grants are primarily unrestricted general operating support rather than project-specific awards.
A $50,000 grant to Peace Korean Reformed Church in 2023 signals the clearest pattern in 346 Foundation’s recent giving: flexible support for Protestant congregations and mission organizations, especially Korean-language and evangelical ministries. The foundation’s largest reported awards repeatedly go to the same church, with additional support extending to other churches and mission groups rather than to individuals or programmatic projects. That pattern points to grantmaking centered on sustaining religious organizations’ day-to-day work. Recent grants show a mix of larger operating awards and smaller follow-on gifts. Peace Korean Reformed Church received $50,000 in 2023, $25,000 in 2024, and $20,000 in 2025, while Lighthouse Bible Church of Orange County received $25,000 in 2023. Other awards in the recent file went to Grace River Korean United Methodist Church, Lighthouse Community Church of South Bay, and Moso Mission for Christ, all on a general and unrestricted basis. The foundation also supported America Wheat Mission Inc., indicating that its religious giving extends beyond local church congregations to mission-oriented nonprofit work.
The foundation’s clearest theme is unrestricted operating support for churches. In 2025, it gave $20,000 to Peace Korean Reformed Church for general and unrestricted support, and it backed Lighthouse Bible Church of Orange County with $25,000 in 2023. Those awards fit a pattern of helping congregations cover core expenses rather than named projects. A second thread is Korean Protestant ministry. Grace River Korean United Methodist Church received $10,000 in 2025 and $5,000 in 2024, showing repeated support to a Korean-language church network. A third area is mission work: America Wheat Mission Inc. received $10,000 in both 2024 and 2025, indicating continuing support for mission-focused activity. The recent grant list also includes Lighthouse Community Church of South Bay and Moso Mission for Christ, which reinforces the foundation’s church-and-mission orientation.
346 Foundation’s recent grants cluster around a typical gift size of $10,000, with a lower quartile of $7,500 and an upper quartile of $22,500. The pattern includes both larger anchor grants and smaller operating awards, suggesting a mix of core support and supplemental giving. Recipients can appear in multiple years. Peace Korean Reformed Church received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and America Wheat Mission Inc. appears in both 2024 and 2025. The foundation is a grantmaker, not a fund for individuals, and the recent awards are all listed as general and unrestricted.
