About faith-based grants

Faith-based organizations can pursue funding from both private foundations and federal sources. On the federal side, faith-based and neighborhood organizations are eligible to compete for grants on an equal basis with secular nonprofits through agency Centers for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at departments like HHS, Justice, and Education. Private funders include large religious foundations such as the Lilly Endowment, denominational and community foundations, and donor networks that support faith-driven social services.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow faith-based grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much money do faith-based grants award?

Of the 504 faith-based grants Grantable lists as of October 8, 2026, 207 publish an award amount. The median listed award is $10K, and the middle half fall between $3,000 and $40K. The largest is $2.5M. Amounts are each grant's stated maximum, so a typical award can be smaller.

Which funders offer the most faith-based grants?

By number of active listings, the leading funders are Catholic Extension (9), CPPS Heritage Mission Fund (9), Catholic Foundation of Oklahoma Inc (8), Presbyterian Mission Agency (8), and Faith in Place (7). In all, 345 funders have at least one active grant in this category.

When are faith-based grants due?

Of 504 grants listed, 19 accept applications on a rolling basis, 31 have a published upcoming deadline, 99 run on a stated cycle (such as annual or quarterly) without a published date, and 355 don't publish a deadline, so check the funder's site. Among dated deadlines, 61% fall in January–March.

What faith-based grants are available?

Faith-based organizations can pursue both federal grants and private foundation funding for social services such as housing, addiction recovery, education, hunger relief, and community development. The federal government does not set aside a separate funding stream for faith-based groups, but they may compete for agency grants on equal footing with other nonprofits, and many private foundations fund faith-driven programs directly.

Who funds faith-based organizations?

Funders include federal agencies (through Centers for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at departments like HHS, Justice, and Education), large religious foundations such as the Lilly Endowment, denominational and community foundations, and private donor networks. The mix depends on whether you are seeking support for explicitly religious programming or for community social services.

Can a faith-based group receive government grants?

Yes. Faith-based organizations are eligible to apply for federal grants on the same basis as secular organizations. Federal funds, however, cannot be used for inherently religious activities like worship or proselytizing, and any such activities must be kept separate in time or location from the government-funded services. Private foundation grants do not carry these restrictions and may fund religious programming directly.
