Bethany Legacy Foundation Inc

In 2024, the foundation reported 32 grants totaling $5,037,696. Individual grants ranged from $50 to $875,000, with a median of $67,500.

The foundation’s website lists long applications for requests above $50,000, short applications for requests of $50,000 or less, and capacity-building applications for requests of $20,000 or less per calendar year. The long application requires an accepted pre-application; the short and capacity-building applications use a single application form. The stated review periods are approximately 12 weeks for the long application and six weeks for the other two. The website says the 2026 funding opportunities are closed. It says application questions and due dates are posted in the first quarter of each year.

The foundation says it will not fund health care levies, lobbying or political campaigns, scholarships, or endowments. It also will not fund projects where its grant would account for more than 40% of the lead organization’s total operating budget, or organizations, programs, or projects that discriminate based on religious participation or membership, race, gender, citizenship status, sexual orientation, age, or disability. Grant funds are not intended to replace existing funding sources.
