Ideal Applicant
A faith-based ministry or religious nonprofit with an established track record and an existing relationship or referral into the foundation’s network; typical awards appear to be in the low- to mid-five-figure range.
Good Fit
- • Clear religious or mission-aligned work (evangelism, missions, youth/family ministry).
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior contact with foundation leadership or trustees.
- • Program scale matching past awards (roughly $1,000–$25,000; median about $5,000).
- • Located in a state the foundation has previously funded (notably Illinois, Colorado, Texas, Arkansas).
- • A history of stable operations and demonstrable outcomes that can be referenced in a referral.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to organizations in 12 different states, with only 29% of dollars staying in the foundation’s home state and the remainder spread across many states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 25 distinct grantees (many independent charities) and the foundation awarded grants to dozens of different organizations over three years, even though a subset are repeat recipients.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly reports it only funds preselected applicants, observed new recipient additions were small (4 new grantees in the latest year, about 16%) and 84% of 2024 recipients were returning, so unsolicited new applicants are unlikely to gain entry without a referral.
