Great Pacific Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The filing states no funding area or programme, and its recorded recipients are public charities, including churches, ministries, charitable foundations and some organisations with an Israel-related focus, so check whether your work sits comfortably among them before you write.
- No geographic focus is stated, so location is not a bar, though its recorded grants have mainly gone to California, Texas, Oklahoma, New Jersey and New York.
- Half of its 28 grants to organisations were about $37,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fell between $10,000 and $3,000,000, so a request in the tens of thousands is closest to its typical giving; that band is not a ceiling, as its largest grant was $4,500,000.
- Apply by letter with a detailed description of your organisation and the purpose of the gift, and note that the filing gives no deadlines, so there is no set date to plan around.
- Only 4% of its grant dollars in the latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so a first approach is ordinary for it, though the filing says nothing about how competitive or relationship-led its decisions are.
Overview
Great Pacific Foundation is a US private foundation.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2025, TY2024, TY2023) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The foundation's recorded grants went to public charities. Among the recipients were a church, ministries, charitable foundations and organisations whose names identify an Israel-related focus. Its grants also reached a presidential foundation and organisations with other charitable identities. Taken together, the records show giving to different kinds of public charity rather than one single recipient type. They do not state a common funding field, a defined beneficiary group or a broader approach to grantmaking. The giving can therefore be described through the kinds of organisations recorded, not through a stated thematic programme.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in California, Texas, Oklahoma, New Jersey and New York.
How to apply
Organisations may apply by letter, with a detailed description of the organisation and the purpose of the gift.
