RCP Foundation

What RCP Foundation does

RCP Foundation is an IRC Section 501(c)(3) non-operating private foundation chartered on October 1, 2002 by Founding Trustees Rodolfo (Rudy) C. Quiambao and Conmemoracion (Connie) G. Quiambao. Headquartered at 25131 Northern Boulevard, Little Neck, New York, the foundation is a grant-making philanthropic entity that distributes donations, gifts, grants, and awards to humanitarian, educational, charitable, and faith-based causes, with individual grant amounts ranging from $10.00 to $25,000.00. Since inception, the foundation has made more than 1,000 donations, gifts, grants, and awards, supplementing institutional grants with personal gifts from the founders for education-related expenses.

The foundation operates several programmatic initiatives: a Scholarship and Educational Advancement Program supporting underserved students pursuing secondary and post-secondary education; a Professional Development and Employment Pathways Program assisting emerging professionals with mentorship, sponsorship, and career integration; and broader Humanitarian Programs covering elderly care, disaster relief, faith-based community support, and collaborative partnerships. Its go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, relying on traditional media, social media, networking with like-minded domestic and international organizations, and recruitment of Qualified Donors, Partners In Giving, and Friends Of Liaisons. An application-based intake process channels requests for assistance to the foundation.

The foundation's revenue model consists of donations/contributions and investment income — specifically interest and annuity income from the conservative investment of trust assets, plus personal contributions from the founders. It is permitted to accept tax-deductible donations under IRC Section 170. Administrative and operational expenses have never exceeded 5% of total budget, and the Founding Trustees have never received compensation or expense reimbursement. Banking is conducted through New York Community Bank; tax preparation is handled by Gruber Palumberi Raffaele Fried CPAs PC. While all recipients to date have been U.S.-domiciled tax-exempt charities, the foundation's indenture permits international and individual grants.
