Grants support congregational vitality, theological and ministry education, faith-based social services, youth and family programs, and missions work. The Lilly Endowment funds large initiatives to strengthen congregations and clergy, while foundations like the Maclellan Foundation support organizations advancing Christian mission. Funding includes both program grants and leadership-development support.
Prominent faith-based funders include the Lilly Endowment, the Maclellan Foundation, and the National Christian Foundation, which facilitates Christian donor-advised giving. Many regional and family foundations also prioritize Christian ministries, and some national funders support faith-based social-service programs regardless of religious affiliation.
Funders typically require US 501(c)(3) status or equivalent, though churches are generally treated as tax-exempt automatically and many faith-based funders welcome applications from congregations and ministries. Eligibility depends on each funder's mission alignment, so confirm whether the program funds churches, faith-based nonprofits, or both before applying.
