Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized faith-based ministries, local churches, youth ministries or conservative/Patriotic organizations whose mission aligns with Christian ministry and prayer-focused activities and that seek modest operating or program support.
Good Fit
- • Explicitly religious or prayer-focused programming.
- • Youth ministry, Fellowship of Christian Athletes–style programs, or small church projects.
- • Request sizes in the few-thousand-dollar range (typical grants are modest).
- • Local presence in Georgia or existing relationships with the foundation leadership or network.
- • Alignment with conservative or patriotic causes where previously funded.
Geography
Latest-year grants reached four states with 36% of dollars in the foundation state and 64% out-of-state; prior filings show broader multi-state activity, so observed giving is regional/multi-state rather than strictly local.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 10 distinct recipients in the latest year (and 27 in 2022), with eight new recipients in 2024, indicating a broadly distributed recipient set for a small private foundation despite financial concentration among the top five recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows many new recipients (8 of 10 in the latest year), but the foundation's materials indicate grants are only to preselected applicants; this suggests new entrants can join the portfolio but likely through outreach, nomination, or relationship routes rather than an open competitive application.
