Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Transfers to other donor-advised fund sponsors and charitable trusts
Local churches, church plants, and congregational capital projects
Evangelism, missions, and Bible translation organizations
Christian schools, colleges, and seminaries
Conservative policy, legal advocacy, and Christian media
Relief, orphan care, pregnancy centers, and prison ministry

Typical grant

The median grant is $17,952 and half of all grants land between $10,000 and $50,000, so the working assumption for a first check is five figures. The eight- and seven-figure grants go almost entirely to affiliated or peer fund sponsors (The Signatry Charitable Trust, Fidelity Charitable, National Christian Foundation) and to a handful of large churches and seminaries, not to program grantees. With 8,008 grants to 6,058 recipients over four years, most relationships are one or two gifts, but the churches and ministries with named donor advisors behind them recur annually.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“RELIGIOUS MINISTRY”
“COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT”
“EDUCATION”
“Ministries”
“Christian Fellowship”

Positioning adjacent work

Identify the individual donor advisor funding your field; the sponsor releases money, the donor chooses it.
Ask in the $10,000 to $50,000 band unless a specific advisor is already committed to a capital project.
Frame work under one of their three labels: religious ministry, community development, or education.
Lead with explicit Christian mission alignment; secular framing is nearly absent from the funded list.

Worth knowing: Servant Foundation operates as The Signatry, a national donor-advised fund, so these are advisor-directed gifts rather than board-selected program grants, and a single $196.7 million transfer to its own Signatry Charitable Trust plus other DAF-to-DAF movement accounts for a large share of the dollar total. Recipients cluster in TX, KS, TN, MO, and OK, and virtually every grantee is a Christian church, ministry, school, or conservative advocacy group.
