The Norris B Runalls Irrevocable Trust concentrates its modest annual giving on a very small set of recurring social-service and faith-based providers. All recorded grants are large, equal installments split among three organizations—Goodwill (workforce and rehabilitation services), a local United Methodist church, and The Salvation Army—indicating a preference for ongoing support to established service providers that deliver direct community assistance. The foundation’s gifts appear aimed at operations or program continuity rather than a wide portfolio of causes.
Highly concentrated and repetitive: the foundation splits its total giving evenly among three repeat grantees (each receiving three matching grants), favoring a small number of substantial, likely unrestricted awards over many small or one‑off grants.
Norris B Runalls Irrev Trust 300811015 shows a clear three-part pattern in its recent giving: support for Missouri Goodwill Industries, The Salvation Army, and First United Methodist Church in Carbondale, Illinois. Across 2023, 2024, and 2025, those organizations each received equal program-support grants, indicating a steady preference for established local service providers rather than a broad scatter of one-off awards. The trust’s record points to direct community assistance, workforce and rehabilitation services, and church-linked support activities. The giving profile is compact. Annual grants totaled $184,128, while the trust’s assets were $1,658,742 in the latest filing year. Its grant list is small and repetitive, with the same three recipients appearing year after year. The organizations funded are all in the United States, and the foundation’s grantmaking reaches into Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia through recipient locations. This pattern suggests a donor advised less by program breadth than by continuity with a limited set of service organizations.
Workforce development and vocational rehabilitation are a recurring theme. Missouri Goodwill Industries received $23,370 in 2023, $18,006 in 2024, and $20,000 in 2025 for program support, showing sustained backing for that service model. Faith-based community support is another visible strand. First United Methodist Church in Carbondale, Illinois received $23,370 in 2023, $18,006 in 2024, and $20,000 in 2025, again labeled program support. Emergency relief and social services also appear through The Salvation Army. The Alexandria, Virginia branch received $23,370 in 2023, $18,006 in 2024, and $20,000 in 2025, indicating repeated support for direct-assistance work.
Typical grants cluster tightly around the same band: p25 is $18,006, median is $20,000, and p75 is $23,370. That narrow spread reflects a highly uniform giving pattern rather than highly variable award sizes. The recent record also shows repetition across multiple years: the same three organizations appear in 2023, 2024, and 2025, each receiving program-support grants. The trust is a private trust, not an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments.
