The Stover Family Foundation
Website for The Stover Foundation (MD) describes the foundation’s mission in evangelism, education and compassion, includes a ‘How Grants are Awarded’ page noting grants are by invitation only, and lists an Annapolis, Maryland contact address. The site is active but appears to be a small family foundation site and does not display the EIN or tax filings on-site.

Ideal Applicant
Faith‑oriented or education nonprofit with program‑level funding needs and a clear link to evangelism, education, or compassion work; often organizations with some connection to the foundation’s network or past grantees.
Good Fit
- • Mission alignment with evangelism, education, or compassion programs.
- • Program support requests rather than open unrestricted operating support.
- • Connections or introductions to board members, staff, or past grantees.
- • Located in or operating programs in states where the foundation has previously funded (notably Texas).
- • Capacity to manage and report on discrete program grants.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached organizations in 10 states, showing a multi‑state footprint, though 70% of dollars flowed to recipients in a single state (Texas).
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a relatively large number of distinct recipients (16 in 2024) and added many first‑time grantees (15 new in 2024), with only one repeat across three years; this indicates a broad recipient set despite financial concentration among a few large grants.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows frequent addition of new grantees (most 2024 recipients were new), but the public guidance is explicit that grants are by invitation only, so while new organizations are regularly funded, unsolicited applicants lack a transparent path and entry is likely relationship‑driven.
