Ideal Applicant
Faith-based churches or mission organizations with an established program (often international or marketplace-focused), demonstrated impact and existing relationships connected to the foundation’s network or prior grantees.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a church or religious mission with international or marketplace ministry activities.
- • Capacity to manage grants in the $10K–$80K range and clear program purposes (e.g., seminarian scholarships, children’s mission, overseas mission work).
- • Existing relationship or referral from a current or prior grantee or a shared regional/denominational network, especially in California.
- • Track record of program delivery and financial stewardship.
Geography
Observed grants span eight states across multiple years, showing multi-state giving; however, California receives the majority share (about 65%) so giving is geographically concentrated despite a broad footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 13 distinct recipients (similar counts in prior years) and multiple independent faith-based organizations are funded; while dollars are concentrated among top recipients, the recipient list itself is meaningfully broad for this foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected applicants and no public application path is provided; although some new grantees appear each year (five new recipients in the latest year), the absence of a public process makes it unlikely an unfamiliar applicant can readily enter the portfolio without a referral or invitation.
