St Matthew’s Foundation concentrates its giving on local Catholic institutions in Gillette, WY, primarily supporting parish operations and Catholic school programming. The foundation makes relatively few but sizable grants, with repeated multi-year support to the same beneficiaries, emphasizing sustaining a single parish and its affiliated school. Its grants are overwhelmingly directed to education tied to the Catholic parish and to the parish itself.
Highly concentrated and recurring: few large grants (three each) focused on two repeat grantees; funding is local, mission-focused, and aimed at sustaining core parish and school operations rather than broad geographic or issue diffusion.
