The 4K Foundation concentrates its giving on faith-based parish renewal and Catholic ministry in the Baltimore area, while also supporting a small set of targeted social and health causes. A handful of large, repeat grants — especially to parish revitalization efforts and to a Young Onset Parkinson's advocacy network — account for most of its giving, with occasional support for local economic development and domestic violence services that align with community well‑being priorities.
A pair of seven-figure-scale commitments anchors 4K Foundation Inc.'s recent giving: Rebuilt Parish Inc received $251,715 in 2023 and $200,000 in 2025 for parish renewal and discipleship work. That pattern points to a funder that prioritizes Catholic parish revitalization, especially efforts aimed at reaching unchurched parishioners and rebuilding parish culture. Alongside that core interest, the foundation has also made repeated grants to Young Onset Parkinson's Network, including $100,000 in 2024 and $62,500 in 2023, showing a sustained interest in support for people living with young-onset Parkinson's. The foundation's recent grant list also shows a mix of targeted community and faith-based support in Maryland and nearby states. Church of the Nativity in Timonium received grants in 2024 and 2025 for Catholic community outreach, while the Archdiocese of Baltimore and the Catholic Community Foundation each received funding tied to parish and ministry capacity. Outside the Catholic sphere, the foundation has supported Baltimore organizations working on neighborhood wealth building, domestic violence services, cancer support, Crohn's and colitis care, and rural prosperity. The result is a profile centered on faith formation and parish infrastructure, with selective grants to health and community-serving groups.
Parish renewal is the clearest throughline in the foundation's giving. Rebuilt Parish Inc received $251,715 in 2023 and $200,000 in 2025 for work focused on helping parish leaders reach the unchurched, create a discipleship path, and rebuild parish culture. Church of the Nativity in Timonium also received $33,000 in 2025 and $31,800 in 2024 for Catholic community outreach in North Baltimore. The foundation also backs institutional Catholic capacity. The Catholic Community Foundation received $25,000 in 2023 to support the future of parishes, schools, and ministries in the Archdiocese of Baltimore through endowment and legacy giving, and the Archdiocese of Baltimore received $15,000 in 2025 for evangelization and faith formation. Beyond faith-based work, 4K Foundation Inc made grants to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation for disease cure and quality-of-life support, and to Believe Big for families facing cancer.
Typical grant size is modest, with a p25 of $260, a median of $1,710, and a p75 of $10,450. The recent record also includes several larger awards, which suggests a pattern of small grants punctuated by a few high-value commitments. Recipients recur across years: Rebuilt Parish Inc, Young Onset Parkinson's Network, Church of the Nativity, United Way of Greater High Point, Believe Big, Crohn's and Colitis Foundation, Franciscan Center of Baltimore, and House of Ruth Maryland all appear more than once. 4K Foundation Inc funds individuals and does not make program-related investments. The grants are shown in the 990 data rather than through an external application portal.
