Ideal Applicant
Faith-based or religious organizations (often involved in leadership training, pastoral training, church construction, or facility projects) with programs or projects that align with leadership development and training priorities, and with ties or referral routes into the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Project clearly focused on leadership training, pastoral or ministry leader development.
- • Capital or facility-focused projects for training centers or church construction.
- • A Florida connection or demonstrated impact in regions the foundation has funded.
- • Project size consistent with past grants (roughly a few thousand to under $100k).
- • Ability to secure an introduction or referral from an intermediary or prior grantee.
- • Work aligned with international ministry training or vocational training in supported countries.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached nine distinct states and some international regions, showing multi-state (and limited international) reach even though 78% of dollars were concentrated in Florida.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 10 distinct recipients and 23 grants with eight new recipients that year and only two repeat grantees across the three-year window, indicating a fairly broad and changing recipient set despite some dollar concentration.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of many new recipients in the latest year suggests new entrants can appear in the portfolio, but the foundation's stated 'preselected only' approach and lack of a public application route mean unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to gain access without referral or an invitation.
