Ideal Applicant
A U.S.-based Christian nonprofit or church (often implementing international education, training, or facility projects) seeking a capital or sustainability grant in the ~$10k–$50k range and able to submit a written Letter of Introduction and project metrics.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a tax-exempt Christian nonprofit or church with an international relief, education, or facilities project.
- • Request is for capital, facilities, dormitory, or vocational training projects with clear objectives and timelines.
- • Project budget aligns with typical grants (roughly $10K–$50K) and includes measurable outcomes.
- • Applicant can provide a written Letter of Introduction, proof of tax-exempt status, and concrete metrics as requested on the Paperform.
Geography
In 2024 grants were made to nonprofits in five different states, but about half of the dollars remained in California, indicating a state-focused but multi-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows nine distinct grantees with a mix of returning and new recipients across the three-year record, demonstrating a moderate spread of independent organizations despite financial concentration among the top five.
New Applicants
A public website, published application instructions (written Letter of Introduction and an embedded Paperform), and observable incoming new grantees (five new recipients in 2024) indicate that unfamiliar applicants have a realistic path to be considered.
