Gilbert and Aileen Chuck Charitable Trust
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation's most recent filing records no grants paid, and it states that it makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests.
- A small charity should therefore not send it an unsolicited request, because its stated route is by invitation only.
- Its geographic focus and grant range are not stated, so the filing gives no basis for judging a typical request size or whether your area is covered.
- The filing does not say how recipients are chosen, so any approach should be a brief, courteous enquiry rather than a formal proposal.
Overview
Gilbert and Aileen Chuck Charitable Trust is a US private foundation based in Camarillo, CA.
What they fund
Profile derived from the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2023) and web pages about the foundation (vccf.org, hawaii.edu), with every statement checked against those sources. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The trust is described as giving contributions to community programmes and projects in the name of the late Camarillo couple. Public reports document gifts for local storm recovery and nursing scholarships, but those individual examples do not establish wider funding themes or geographic priorities. The filing records no organisation grants in the return and states that contributions are made only to preselected charitable organisations. It does not identify eligible organisations beyond that category, describe an application route, or state how trustees select recipients.
