The Saint Martin Foundation

What it reported doing in 2025

During 2025, The Saint Martin Foundation invested $102,188 in charitable programs supporting vulnerable women, children, and families in the United States, Brazil, Cambodia, Philippines and Thailand. Programs served hundreds of women, children, and families through direct assistance, educational initiatives, food security programs, and international partnerships. Program services represented the substantial majority of the Foundation's expenditures, reflecting its commitment to directing the vast majority of resources toward its charitable mission. Program 100 - Child Welfare & Support ($23,007) strengthened the well-being of vulnerable children through direct assistance, orphan care, educational support, and community outreach. The Foundation provided $363 in orphanage assistance, $1,126 in ongoing support for two orphaned siblings who have been served for more than two years following the loss of their mother to gang violence, and invested $5,267 in its Annual Children's Day Celebration in Brazil. The event served more than 300 children through educational activities, games, meals, gifts, and family engagement while strengthening relationships with underserved communities. Additional child welfare funding supported emergency assistance, clothing, school supplies, and other essential resources for children facing economic hardship. Program 200 - Education & Empowerment ($20,568) expanded educational opportunities for disadvantaged children and young adults. The Foundation provided school supplies to children from low-income households ($132), supported its Adopt-a-Class Initiative ($500), and invested $3,944 in higher education assistance through its College Degree Support Program. Educational assistance also included tuition support, school materials, backpacks, books, and classroom resources. During the year, the Foundation continued planning efforts with municipal leaders in Choró, Brazil, to support construction of additional classrooms, a library, and a computer laboratory designed to expand educational opportunities for future generations. Program 300 - Community & Family Support ($31,374) represented the Foundation's largest domestic charitable program. Emergency Crisis Care ($7,020) and Food for Needy Families ($3,256) provided immediate assistance to vulnerable households experiencing financial hardship. During the year, the Foundation delivered customized food baskets to 11 families, benefiting 31 vulnerable mothers and children, including two newly enrolled families and a recently arrived African mother with her infant. Rather than providing identical food packages, each basket was tailored to the size, composition, and nutritional needs of the individual household. Families also received practical guidance on meal planning, recipes, portion sizes, and strategies to extend approximately one month's worth of staple foods. Foundation volunteers conducted follow-up assessments throughout the month to evaluate food consumption, identify shortages, and refine future basket contents based on each family's actual needs. Program 400 - International Partnerships & Outreach ($27,240) strengthened humanitarian initiatives through strategic partnerships with organizations serving vulnerable populations throughout Asia and Brazil. The Foundation carried out these programs through established local nonprofit partners, maximizing community impact while promoting accountability and responsible stewardship of charitable resources. The Foundation invested $3,696 in its partnership with New Hope Cambodia, supporting an organization that provides free education, healthcare, vocational training, emergency food assistance, and housing support to impoverished children and families in Siem Reap. An additional $9,005 supported broader Asia outreach initiatives, including collaboration with Baan Unrak Children's Home in Thailand, which provides shelter, education, healthcare, and family support for orphaned, stateless, and displaced childre
