The Chris Bolen and Jeanne L Bolen Foundation makes small, local charitable gifts focused on faith-based community assistance and a smattering of health-related philanthropy. Grants are concentrated in their local area and directed primarily to Catholic parishes for food and shelter programs for people experiencing homelessness, with an occasional gift to national health organizations such as the American Cancer Society. The foundation prefers repeat, modest-sized donations to familiar local organizations rather than broad, diversified grantmaking.
