Ideal Applicant

Organizations aligned with Christ-centered education, mentorship, or community development—especially partners with existing ties to the foundation or to its Brazilian partner—are the best fit.

Good Fit

  • Clear programmatic alignment with Christian education, mentorship, or community development
  • A prior relationship or formal introduction to a board member or staff
  • Work that connects to the foundation's Brazilian partnership or similar international collaborations
  • Capacity to use modest one-time grants or participate as a named partner

Geography

Broad

Observed grants span seven states plus a large international grant in Vera Cruz, Brazil; the latest year shows a multi-state and international footprint rather than a single-city focus.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The latest year shows 20 distinct recipients with 16 new organizations funded, indicating a broad and varied recipient set despite heavy dollar concentration in a single partner.

New Applicants

Moderate

Behaviorally the funder adds many new recipients (16 new in the latest year), but the foundation explicitly states grants are to preselected organizations, suggesting most new additions are invitation-based rather than available via open application.
