Ideal Applicant
Small-to-medium faith-based nonprofits, local churches, or 501(c)(3) partners seeking operational support or mission/scholarship funding, especially organizations working in Alabama or with a local church fiscal sponsor.
Good Fit
- • Mission aligned with evangelistic, ministry, or faith-based community work.
- • Requests for operating support or small program grants (many awards under $5K; median around $1K).
- • Ability to receive funds through a church or 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor.
- • Local presence in Alabama or a clear partnership with an Alabama-based ministry.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Alabama (about 82% of dollars) even though grants touched 19 states, so the observed footprint is strongly state-focused with limited national reach.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded a large number of distinct independent recipients (318) with many new entrants (178) and a modest share concentrated among top recipients, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants exists (178 new recipients in the latest year) and multiple online application forms and contact routes are visible, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
