Ideal Applicant
Relatively small charities, often faith-based or education-focused, seeking general operating support and able to be introduced through a relationship or referral; many successful grantees have been ministries, Christian schools, or community service organizations.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a faith-based ministry, Christian school, or community service nonprofit.
- • Request is for general operating support rather than a large capital project.
- • Organization can document existing relationships or endorsements that could lead to preselection.
- • Organization operates in a state the foundation has funded (Ohio, Arizona, Tennessee, Florida, etc.).
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year were distributed across nine states, with about 44% of dollars in the foundation's home state but significant out-of-state giving as well.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 11 distinct recipients (and historically 10–14 per year) including independent ministries, schools, and national charities; about six grantees recur across years while multiple new recipients appear each year.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new recipients exists (five new grantees in 2024), but the foundation explicitly states it only funds preselected applicants and no public application route or contact details were found, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to gain entry.
