The Pueblo St Paul Memorial Endowment primarily funds local United Methodist congregations in southern Colorado, providing modest, unrestricted support for congregational operations and community services. Grants indicate priorities such as sustaining meal programs, upgrading security systems, and maintaining digital services and general operations. The foundation appears focused on practical, local parish needs rather than programmatic innovation or large-capital projects.
Pueblo St Paul Memorial Endowment’s giving is defined by steady support for United Methodist congregations in southern Colorado, with grants that keep churches functioning as local service hubs. The largest recent award in the list went to Beulah Community Umc for a lunch program, security system, digital service, and maintenance, which captures the funder’s practical emphasis: helping small congregations cover operations, outreach, and basic facility needs. Other awards show the same pattern in different settings, from Vineland UMC in Pueblo for lighting and food pantry support to Sonrise Church in Pueblo West for online ministry and a walking path picnic area. The grant amounts are generally modest, which fits a funder that appears oriented toward targeted assistance rather than large project financing. Across the recent grants, support reaches churches, church-based youth activities, and congregational upkeep, with a clear preference for uses that sustain everyday ministry and community service. The foundation’s footprint is local, and the recipients are overwhelmingly rooted in Colorado communities where United Methodist congregations serve as familiar neighborhood institutions.
A central theme in Pueblo St Paul Memorial Endowment’s grantmaking is congregational operations. They gave $4,180 to Wesley Mthodist Church in Pueblo for office support, and $2,500 to Monte Vista United Methodist Churc for equipment for online ministry. Those awards point to a funder that helps churches maintain the infrastructure needed for regular worship and communication. Another repeated area is food and meal support. Beulah Community Umc received $8,755 for a lunch program along with security and maintenance needs, while Vineland UMC in Pueblo received $4,425 for a lighting system and food pantry. Youth and family programming also appears in the record. Adriance United Methodist Church in Pueblo received $2,400 for camp scholarships, and Yuma United Methodist Church received $2,300 for office equipment and VBS programming.
Grant sizes are small and clustered: p25 is $1,398, median grant size is $2,350, and p75 is $3,222. The recent record shows repeated support to some recipients across multiple years, including Wray United Methodist Church, Alamosa First United Methodist Church, Sonrise Church, Rocky Ford United Methodist Church, Olney Springs Community Umc, Manzanola United Methodist Church, and the Salida United Methodist churches. That pattern suggests ongoing relationship-based giving rather than one-time awards. The foundation is structured as an endowment, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grant record also shows a local, Colorado-centered approach with awards tied to specific congregational needs.
