Triton Charitable Foundation’s giving is dominated by one very large arts/cultural grant but otherwise reflects steady support for faith-based congregations, independent schools, youth programs and health-related nonprofits. They fund a mix of local educational and community organizations in California alongside repeated, smaller awards to churches and ministries. Grants are often repeat or multi-year small awards, indicating ongoing relationships with many grantees in addition to a single outsized commitment.
Highly concentrated overall (one very large arts grant accounts for the vast majority of dollars) combined with a distributed portfolio of recurring, modest grants to local churches, schools and health/youth organizations; many grantees receive multiple smaller awards.
Triton Charitable Foundation Inc made its largest recent grant to Shunpike Charitable Foundation, a $44,124,488 award for general support in 2025. That one gift is far larger than the rest of its recent activity, but the foundation also shows a steady pattern of smaller grants to congregations, schools, youth groups, and health-focused charities. Recent recipients include Healthspan Ranch, which received $400,000 in both 2023 and 2024, and Laguna Blanca School, which received $43,700 in both 2023 and 2024. The giving profile points to general support rather than tightly restricted project funding. Repeated awards appear across years for faith-based organizations and community institutions, including churches, ministries, and school-related funds. Alongside those recurring commitments, Triton Charitable Foundation Inc also backed a small set of nonprofits serving recreation, addiction recovery, and child health. The overall pattern suggests a portfolio with one outsized arts and cultural commitment and a broad base of ongoing support for organizations in California and a few other U.S. locations.
Faith-based organizations are a clear part of the portfolio. The foundation gave $82,434 in both 2023 and 2024 to Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake City, and it also awarded $25,000 in 2023 and 2024 to Amistad Cristiana in San Bernardino. Education is another recurring theme. Triton Charitable Foundation Inc gave $43,700 in both 2023 and 2024 to Laguna Blanca School in Santa Barbara, and it awarded $10,000 in 2024 to The Webb School Fund in Claremont. Health and community welfare appear in smaller grants as well. The foundation gave $20,500 in 2024 to Council for Alcohol and Drug Abuse in Santa Barbara, while Friends of Rea Park in Terre Haute received $11,500 in both 2023 and 2024 for general support.
The recent grant sizes are tightly clustered at the lower end: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $10,050, and the 75th percentile is $25,000. That distribution sits alongside one exceptionally large grant, which makes the foundation’s overall pattern easy to distinguish from its typical award size. Repeat giving is common. Several recipients appear across two years, including Healthspan Ranch, Laguna Blanca School, Spring Turkey Challenge, and Friends of Rea Park. The grants are all listed as general support, and the foundation does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
