Eligible Applicants: U.S. nonprofit organizations that qualify as public charities under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
Grant Type: Generally restricted program or project grants with impact reporting requirements


Primary Focus Areas:
The Foundation considers grant requests from:

  • Christian organizations, churches, and ministries that share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, plant new churches, expand Christian education, and strengthen disciple-making and outreach.
  • High-integrity organizations that serve veterans, military families, Gold Star families, and those facing trauma, isolation, transition, or service-related challenges.
  • Life-affirming organizations that protect the unborn and provide compassionate, practical support to mothers who choose life.


Grant Guidelines:

  1. The Foundation considers program and project grant requests only within our primary focus areas. 
  2. Only U.S. nonprofit organizations that qualify as public charities under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code are eligible to apply. 
  3. The Foundation is based in Saint Augustine, Florida, but we do not limit grants by geography within the United States. 
  4. A completed initial application must be submitted online through the Apply for a Grant page by midnight Eastern Time on either March 31 or September 30. 
  5. If the Foundation determines that your initial application is a good match for our primary funding interests, we will contact you with further instructions and a timeline for submitting a full grant proposal. 
  6. Grant amounts typically range from $1,000 to $5,000. In limited cases, the Foundation may consider larger grants, generally after an organization has demonstrated meaningful impact over time. 
  7. The Foundation generally does not make multi-year grant commitments, although we may fund the same organization on a year-by-year basis. 
  8. Grants are generally issued as restricted grants. Interim and final impact reports will be required. 


If your organization is a match for our funding priorities and you would like to apply for a grant, please visit the Apply for a Grant page for application instructions.
