The Sharp-Curtis Foundation makes a small number of modest grants focused on faith-based institutions and civic information. A large share of funding goes to religious organizations — notably a Catholic sisterhood and a theological seminary — with a smaller gift to public radio, suggesting an interest in supporting both religious life/theological education and public media.
Concentrated, low-volume giving: a few mid-sized grants per cycle with at least one repeat grantee. Funds are targeted to mission-driven institutions rather than broad grantmaking across many organizations.
