CHARLES A. BECKER FOUNDATION

Supported Organizations

The Foundation is pleased to report that our cumulative grant awards total over $2 million for benefit to hundreds of kids in an extensive variety of programs. Everything from specialized dental care, to mentoring and help with school homework, to once-in-a-lifetime experiences at extraordinary summer camps, the programs we've helped fund are as fullfilling for us to participate in, as the kids to experience.

The Foundation non-profit status is that of a support organization, primarily for our two designated organizations along with their affiliate regional programs and charities:

Desert Mission, Phoenix Arizona

Fremont Presbyterian Church, Sacramento California

As a third group, the Foundation Board of Directors recognizes and awards other select youth charities with programs that specifically benefit kids within these two geographic regions, and the San Francisco Bay Area. In order to be considered for an award, please print, complete, and submit the application found on our website, along with the necessary support documentation. All our grant awards are distributed annually in the fall, and tend to be modest up to five figures. The Board of Directors pays particular attention to smaller organizations to which an award of our typical amount will provide direct, measurable and lasting assistance and results.
