Ideal Applicant
Faith-based or ministry-focused charities (including child-welfare and pregnancy/health clinics) that can show program alignment and are prepared for mostly modest awards with occasional larger grants.
Good Fit
- • Explicitly religious or ministry mission alignment (churches, evangelism, media ministry).
- • Programs focused on child welfare, orphan/foster care, or pregnancy/health clinic work.
- • Ability to accept one-off or small multi-year grants and to demonstrate direct program impact.
- • Willingness to engage via direct contact (phone or mailed inquiry).
Geography
Latest observed grants went to organizations in 11 different states (multi-state footprint), although one state received about three quarters of the dollars, indicating geographic breadth with dollar concentration.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 18 distinct recipients in the latest year with 10 returning grantees and 8 new grantees, showing a fairly broad and independent recipient set despite dollar concentration in a few top grants.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover (8 new recipients in 2023) plus explicit application instructions to contact the foundation and a named phone/address indicate that unfamiliar applicants have a plausible path to receive funding; absence of a website reduces transparency but does not preclude access.
