Ideal Applicant

Small to mid-sized faith-based or community organizations with a track record that matches the foundation's past grants (churches, missionary projects, building campaigns, youth mission trips).

Good Fit

  • Faith-based mission or church-affiliated program.
  • Projects like building donations, missionary support, or youth mission trips.
  • Existing or prior relationship/visibility to the foundation trustees or their network.
  • Geographic presence in states previously funded (SC, CO, IN and other states seen historically).

Geography

Broad

Observed giving spans multiple states (three states in the latest year and as many as seven in prior years), with the foundation based in South Carolina but funding out-of-state recipients as well.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The foundation funded 11 distinct recipients in 2022 and 2023 and four in 2024, with several independent charities and individuals supported rather than a single beneficiary; three grantees recur across years.

New Applicants

Restrictive

The foundation explicitly indicates it only funds preselected applicants and there is no public application path; although one new recipient appeared in 2024, declared policy and the lack of a public submission route make unsolicited new applicants unlikely to gain entry.
