The Larry A. Modin Foundation focuses primarily on local senior services and small-scale historic preservation in California. Most grants support direct help for low-income and vulnerable seniors and a second stream funds restoration and preservation of a historical village. The foundation makes modest, targeted awards to community-based nonprofits rather than large, multi-year institutional commitments.

Concentrated, small-portfolio giving: few grants with a clear emphasis on senior services and a smaller, recurring investment in historic preservation. Several repeat payments to the same senior center indicate preference for known local partners rather than one-off, widely distributed grants.
Notable grantees: Mizell Senior Center, Lake County Historical Society, Senior Advocates of the Desert
