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

Evangelical churches, missions agencies, Bible translation and distribution
Transfers to other donor-advised sponsors: The Signatry, National Christian Foundation
Christian K-12 schools in Memphis and the Mid-South
Memphis youth development, athletic ministry and after-school programs
Christian leadership training and discipleship, domestic and overseas
Memphis civic anchors: arts, health clinics, University of Memphis

Typical grant

Median grant is $24,000 and the middle half runs $10,000 to $79,332, so most of the 1,826 grants are modest donor-directed gifts. The very large checks go to two places: other charitable intermediaries (Strategic Resource Group at $14.8M, The Signatry at $11M, Impact Investing Charitable Foundation at $6M) and a short list of Memphis Christian schools and ministries such as New Hope Christian Academy at $3.95M and Church Health Center at $2.24M. With 1,826 grants spread across 991 recipients in four years, repeat giving is the norm rather than the exception.

Their words

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

“RELIGION”
“EDUCATIONAL”
“YOUTH DEVEL”
“HUMAN SERVICE”
“COMMUNITY DEVEL”

Positioning adjacent work

Anchor to Memphis workforce and education pipeline work: Tech901, Memphis Teacher Residency, William R Moore College, Crosstown High.
Ask $25,000 to $75,000 for a first gift; six figures follows an existing relationship, not a cold proposal.
Name the faith frame explicitly. Nearly every large recipient is a church, ministry, or Christian school.
For health or science work, look at the Church Health Center and Vanderbilt University Medical Center precedents, not general research appeals.

Worth knowing: This is a donor-advised fund sponsor, not a staff-directed grantmaker, so nearly every dollar reflects an individual donor's instruction and the path in runs through Memphis donors and their advisors rather than the foundation office. Geography is overwhelming: 939 of the recipients are in Tennessee, and the largest grants either stay inside Memphis or move to peer Christian DAF sponsors in Kansas, Georgia and Florida.

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
