Ideal Applicant

A small or mid-sized Christian ministry, church, or faith-based program focused on Bible distribution, evangelism, or related religious media, ideally known to the trustees or connected through established evangelical networks.

Good Fit

  • Explicit mission around Christian ministry, Bible distribution, or evangelism.
  • Project budgets that align with typical small grants (roughly $1k–$10k).
  • Existing relationship or introduction to trustees or intermediaries in the evangelical philanthropy space.
  • Previous or ongoing partnerships with organizations already supported by the foundation.

Geography

Broad

In the latest year grants reached recipients in eight states and 80% of dollars went out of the foundation's home state, indicating a multi-state giving footprint rather than strictly local support.

Recipient Variety

Moderate

The foundation funded 11 distinct recipients in the latest year with eight repeat grantees and three newcomers; recipients are numerically diverse but are mission‑narrow (primarily Christian organizations), and dollars are concentrated among a few top grantees.

New Applicants

Restrictive

The foundation's materials state funding is by pre-selection only and no public contact or application portal was found, which implies an invitation-driven model; although three new grantees appeared in the latest year, direct evidence of an open submission path is absent.
