About BELIN FOUNDATION

The Belin Foundation is a 501(c)(3) private foundation (EIN 76-0163560) established in 1986 and headquartered in Richmond/Montgomery County, Texas. It operates as a grantmaking family foundation governed by members of the Belin family and related officers. In recent years the foundation has made multi-year grants and general operating support awards to nonprofits in education, higher education, medical/health organizations, and community-serving groups. The foundation files Form 990-PF annually and reports asset and grant activity publicly through standard nonprofit data aggregators and IRS filings. Leadership listed on public filings includes family members serving as officers (for example, Laurie Belin Mahlmann and Chad Mahlmann), and the foundation historically provides mostly grant support rather than operating programs of its own.
