The Elliott Family Foundation concentrates its giving in the Sacramento region, funding workforce pathways in construction and faith-based K–12/Catholic education. They prioritize scholarship and training support for construction trades, capital projects for Catholic schools, and region-wide economic development efforts. Grants are often sizable and recurrent to the same institutions, suggesting multi-year partnerships rather than one-off gifts.
Harry C and Deborah L Elliott Family Foundation has repeatedly backed construction workforce pathways and Catholic school support in the Sacramento area, with a grant record that includes multiple six-figure awards to the same institutions across several years. The clearest pattern is its sustained support for training and education tied to the building trades: California Homebuilding Foundation received $114,200 in 2025, and University Foundation at Csus received $100,000 in 2025 for construction management scholarships after earlier gifts for the same purpose. The foundation also returns to faith-based education, including grants to Jesuit High School and St Francis Catholic High School, alongside support for Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary School. These gifts point to a funder that favors organizations with long-running local roles rather than isolated projects. In addition to schools and training providers, the foundation has funded Homeaid Sacramento and Greater Sacramento Economic Council, showing interest in housing-related nonprofit work and regional institutional capacity. Across its recent grants, the pattern is consistent: local, repeated, and often substantial support for organizations serving education, workforce development, and community infrastructure in Greater Sacramento.
In construction trades workforce development, the foundation gave $100,000 to California Homebuilding Foundation in 2023 and again in 2024 for scholarships for students in a construction training program. It also awarded $100,000 to University Foundation at Csus in 2024 for construction management scholarships, followed by $100,000 in 2025 to advance the organization’s mission. Training and placement support appears in a $20,000 grant to North State Building Industry Foundation for promotions, internships, placements, education and research. Faith-based K–12 education is another visible theme. The foundation gave $100,000 to Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary School in 2023 and 2025, and supported Jesuit High School and St Francis Catholic High School with repeated grants for mission support and a capital campaign fund. On the community-development side, Greater Sacramento Economic Council received three $100,000 grants from 2023 through 2025.
