C & C STEWARD appears to be a small, locally focused private donor that directs its charitable support to faith-based activity; its sole recorded grant is a single substantial donation to The Church in San Jose. The foundation’s giving suggests priority on supporting a local congregation and its mission rather than a diversified philanthropic portfolio.
Concentrated, one-off giving: a single large grant to one local faith organization rather than multiple or diversified grantees; no evidence of repeat or multi-year commitments in the record.
C & C Steward’s largest recorded gift in 2023 went to The Church in San Jose, a $55,466 donation that sets the tone for the foundation’s highly local and faith-linked giving. The rest of its recent grant list shows a small private funder working through direct donations rather than a broad program portfolio, with awards that also reach congregational, arts, and community-serving nonprofits. Within that 2023 set, the foundation supported Avivo Inc with $10,000 and Korean Methodist Church & Institute with $7,500, while several Bay Area organizations received smaller gifts in the same year. The pattern is centered on San Jose and nearby communities, but it is not limited to a single institution. Alongside church support, C & C Steward’s grants include music, youth, and family-service organizations such as Palo Alto Philharmonic Association, Peninsula Symphony, Okizu Foundation, San Jose Youth Symphony, and Ronald Mcdonald House Charities-bay Area. The mix suggests a donor that makes straightforward charitable donations to organizations with local or regional presence, with faith-based work at the center of its recent activity.
Faith-based giving is the clearest thread in C & C Steward’s recent grants. The foundation gave $55,466 to The Church in San Jose for donations, and another $7,500 to Korean Methodist Church & Institute for donations. That pairing points to direct support for church and ministry activity rather than a formal program grant structure. Its other 2023 gifts show attention to community arts and youth music. C & C Steward gave $6,000 to Palo Alto Philharmonic Association, $5,000 to Peninsula Symphony, and $3,000 to San Jose Youth Symphony, all listed as donations. The grant to Okizu Foundation for $5,000 adds a family and support-services dimension. Smaller awards also reached Bay Area youth and service groups, including Bay Area Youth Music Society at $2,000 and Ronald Mcdonald House Charities-bay Area at $3,000. The grant list reflects a donor working across a compact set of local and regional nonprofit types.
C & C Steward’s typical grant size is modest: the 25th percentile is $2,000, the median is $3,239, and the 75th percentile is $5,000. The 2023 record shows one much larger award at $55,466 and a cluster of gifts in the $1,500 to $10,000 range, which suggests occasional concentration around a lead recipient alongside smaller donations elsewhere. The available record is a single-year snapshot, so it does not show recurring recipients across multiple years. The foundation is a private donor entity that does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
