Ideal Applicant

A Christian faith-based ministry, church, school, or nonprofit — typically with a South Carolina footprint or demonstrated alignment with the foundation’s Biblical stewardship priorities — seeking general support or project funding and willing to complete a ministry introduction and engage staff.

Good Fit

  • Explicitly faith-based mission or ministry aligned with Biblical stewardship.
  • Programs or presence in South Carolina (or clear statewide/national ministry with SC ties).
  • Need for general operating support or project funding rather than very small micro-grants.
  • Capacity to complete the foundation’s Ministry Introduction Form and participate in follow-up conversations.

Geography

Moderate

Grants appear across 24 states in the latest year, showing multi-state reach, but roughly 61% of dollars stayed in South Carolina, so the footprint is multi-state but regionally concentrated.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The foundation funded 285 distinct recipients in 2024 (225 in 2022), with many independent organizations and a large number of new grantees in the latest year, indicating a broad recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.

New Applicants

Broad

Direct behavior shows substantial turnover and entry by new organizations (139 new recipients in 2024, about 49% of grantees), which—combined with a public contact route—supports a high likelihood that unfamiliar applicants can enter the portfolio.
