Ideal Applicant
Small to mid‑sized churches or explicitly faith‑based ministries with demonstrated alignment to the foundation’s ministry focus, ideally connected to the foundation’s local/state network or referred by a known contact.
Good Fit
- • Identifies explicitly as a church or faith‑based ministry.
- • Is located in or connected to the foundation’s dominant state (New York) or has a relationship with a previous grantee.
- • Seeks modest, programmatic support (typical grants under $5,000–$12,000).
- • Can be introduced by a board member, previous grantee, or local clergy contact.
Geography
Grants in the latest year reached organizations across ten states, but giving is strongly concentrated in one state where 72% of dollars went, so the footprint is multi‑state but regionally centered.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded over 15 distinct recipients each year (21 in 2024), showing many independent grantees, but almost all are faith‑based ministries which limits mission diversity.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows the foundation added new grantees each year (9 new recipients in 2024 and 11 in 2023), but the funder also documents that grants are preselected and there is no public application path, so new entrants are possible but likely need referral or solicitation.
