Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize charitable organizations with an explicitly Christian or church-aligned mission working in humanitarian relief, anti‑trafficking and survivor services, orphan/child care, faith-based international development, or local benevolence in California or similar communities.
Good Fit
- • Clear alignment with Christian faith-based mission or church partnership.
- • Programs in humanitarian aid, anti‑trafficking, orphan care, or faith-based education.
- • Ability to accept single-year grants of varied sizes (from a few thousand to mid-five-figures).
- • Willingness to engage directly with a named foundation contact and provide mission-specific outcomes.
- • Local presence or demonstrated impact in California is a plus.
Geography
Giving reached organizations in seven states in the latest year, with roughly half of dollars staying in California and the rest distributed across multiple other states, so the footprint is multi-state even though CA receives the largest share.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 28 distinct recipients spanning humanitarian, education, health, mental‑health and faith organizations, and most grants (24) went to new recipients, indicating a broad and varied recipient set despite some dollar concentration among the largest awards.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of applicant turnover is available (24 new recipients in the latest year) and the foundation publishes application instructions to email a named contact on a rolling basis, so unfamiliar, mission‑aligned applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
