Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized charities or local community organizations with programs in faith-based ministry, education, libraries, volunteer emergency services, basic health services, or animal welfare seeking modest one-time grants.
Good Fit
- • A mission aligned with Christian ministry, chaplaincy, or faith-based services.
- • Requests for modest project or operating support (typically under $10k).
- • Local or regional community service organizations (libraries, volunteer fire departments, rural medical centers).
- • An existing relationship, nomination, or referral into the funder’s network.
- • Simple, well-scoped budgets and clear, immediate uses for funds.
Geography
In the latest year the foundation funded recipients in 18 states, with only about 15% of dollars staying in the foundation state and the remainder going out of state, indicating a broad multi-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
The most recent year shows 46 distinct recipients across many sectors (faith-based groups, libraries, fire departments, health centers, animal welfare), with returning donors but also new recipients, so the observed portfolio is diverse for the funder's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence is mixed: 12 new recipients appeared in 2023 (roughly 26%), which shows some turnover, but the fund’s stated practice is to fund only preselected/invited applicants and there is no public website, suggesting new entrants are more likely via nomination or referral than through a public application.
