There are currently 150 active grants for churches in Grantable's free grants database, drawn from foundation sources and updated daily.
Faith-based organizations are eligible for most federal and state grant programs, as long as funded services are available to all community members regardless of religious affiliation.

Yes. Under federal law, faith-based organizations can compete equally for government grants. The key requirement is that grant-funded services must be available to all people regardless of religion, and funds cannot be used for inherently religious activities like worship or proselytizing. Many churches successfully receive grants for food banks, homeless services, youth programs, and community development.
Churches are automatically considered tax-exempt under IRS rules, but many grantmakers require a formal 501(c)(3) determination letter. Getting one from the IRS strengthens your grant applications and opens more funding doors. Some churches create separate nonprofit arms for their community service programs.
Common grant areas include community food programs, homeless services, youth development, substance abuse prevention, disaster relief, affordable housing, elder care, and job training. Foundations like the Lilly Endowment, Murdock Trust, and Duke Endowment specifically fund faith-based community work.
