Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized Centers for Spiritual Living or Science-of-Mind related churches, education programs, or media projects that align with the foundation’s faith-based mission and regional footprint.
Good Fit
- • Mission alignment with Science of Mind / Centers for Spiritual Living.
- • Small operational budget and local program focus (media, education, church activities).
- • Located in California or in one of the other states/provinces the funder has recently supported.
- • Willingness to follow the foundation’s specific application instructions and reference procedures.
Geography
Grants in the latest year were spread across roughly ten states/provinces including Canadian provinces and international locations, though California received the largest share (about 42%).
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 22 distinct recipients across church, education, and media purposes, indicating a broad set of independent grantees rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Observed behavior shows substantial new-entry—15 new recipients in the latest year—and there are public application pages, but the funder also declares grants are for preselected applicants, so unsolicited entry appears possible but may be constrained by affiliation or committee screening.
