Ideal Applicant
Faith-based churches, small Christian education programs, or scholarship applicants aligned with Christian ministry who seek modest operating or scholarship support and can demonstrate local or mission alignment with the foundation.
Good Fit
- • Explicitly faith-based mission or Christian leadership education focus.
- • Requests for modest grants (typically under $10,000).
- • Existing relationship, prior funding history, or a local/introduced connection to the family/foundation.
- • Fits the foundation’s scholarship or ministry-serving restrictions posted on the website.
Geography
The foundation funded recipients in 10 states in the latest year, showing a multi-state footprint even though a single out-of-state recipient accounted for a large share of dollars.
Recipient Variety
Sixteen distinct recipients were funded in the latest year, indicating a broad set of independent grantees for a micro private foundation despite substantial repeat funding across years.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows only one new recipient in 2023 (about 6%), with 15 returning grantees from the prior year; although a public application process and contact information exist, the observed giving pattern is strongly relationship-driven and new entrants appear unlikely.
