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

Bible distribution and digital scripture apps reaching global audiences
Evangelism and church planting ministries, US and overseas
Transfers to other Christian donor-advised fund sponsors and foundations
Christian colleges, classical academies, and ministry training schools
Religious liberty litigation and conservative policy organizations
Clean water, prison, homelessness, and pregnancy-center relief work

Typical grant

Half of all grants fall between $8,000 and $35,000, with a median of $14,550, so the ordinary check is a modest gift to a church or ministry. The money is wildly top-heavy: a handful of 2024 grants to Come Near Media, Come and See Foundation, Every Home for Christ, Servant Foundation, and OneHope account for the bulk of $640 million, and several of those are pass-throughs to affiliated Christian funds. Recipients repeat at the small end, where the same congregations and ministries show up year after year, but the eight- and nine-figure gifts track single donor decisions rather than a renewing program.

Their words

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

“RELIGIOUS MINISTRY”
“COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT”
“EDUCATION”

Positioning adjacent work

Frame work under one of their three coded purposes: religious ministry, community development, or education. Nothing else appears.
Ask in the $10,000 to $50,000 band unless a named donor is already championing the project.
Connect to funded themes with clear Christian framing: scripture access, discipleship, church-based service delivery, Christian higher education.
Target the Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee corridor where the volume of grants concentrates.

Worth knowing: The Signatry is a donor-advised fund sponsor, not a foundation with staff picking grantees, so nearly every dollar reflects an individual account holder's recommendation and the path in is a donor relationship, not a proposal. Colorado and Kansas addresses dominate the giant grants because those are affiliated Christian funds and media ministries, while the thousand-plus small grants cluster in the Bible Belt states listed.

Top recipients

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