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

Churches, parishes and Catholic religious orders receiving general support
Veteran service, veteran trauma recovery and military family organizations
Evangelical ministries and missions: Samaritan's Purse, Compassion, Cru
Universities, foundations and K-12 Christian schools
Disease-specific health nonprofits, hospitals and hospital foundations
Food banks, homeless services and disaster relief

Typical grant

Median grant is $15,000 and the middle half runs $10,000 to $30,000, so nearly all activity is small unrestricted checks. The seven-figure gifts go to churches, a national veterans charity, and transfers to other donor-advised fund sponsors like Fidelity Charitable and Renaissance Charitable. Across 2022-2024 there were 2,921 grants to 1,958 recipients, so roughly a third of recipients came back for a second or third year.

Their words

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

“GENERAL SUPPORT”
“FOUNDATION”
“AKA”
“VETERAN”
“WARRIOR”

Positioning adjacent work

Identify the individual donor-advisor behind a comparable grant; the fund itself does not originate giving.
Connect adjacent work to veteran trauma and recovery, the clearest repeat theme outside churches.
Ask $10,000 to $30,000 for unrestricted operating support, matching how every grant is coded.
Disease-specific framing travels well here: lung cancer, lobular breast cancer, Tourette, pediatric hospitals.

Worth knowing: This is a donor-advised fund sponsor, not a staffed foundation with priorities, so every grant traces to an individual account holder and there is no institutional program to persuade. The state spread (CA, TX, PA, WI, CO) reflects where donors live rather than any geographic strategy, and the heavy tilt toward churches, Catholic orders and veteran groups tells you who those donors are.

Top recipients

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