    About 3clane Family Foundation

    The 3CLANE FAMILY FOUNDATION concentrates its giving on a small number of sizable grants, with a clear preference for faith‑aligned education and ministry alongside targeted support for nature/environmental programming. Grants are concentrated among repeat recipients rather than broadly distributed, suggesting long‑term relationships with a handful of organizations. The foundation's mix of private college support, faith‑based athletic ministry, and environmental programming indicates an interest in faith‑based education and values‑driven outdoor or conservation experiences.

    Focus Areas

    Private Christian higher education (e.g., support to small Christian universities)Faith‑based sports ministry and athlete development programsEnvironmental education and nature/conservation programming (regional outdoor education)

    Who They Fund

    Giving Approach

    Concentrated giving: few, relatively large grants focused on repeat grantees (two organizations received multiple grants), favoring targeted support over many small awards.

    About 3clane Family Foundation

    A recurring feature of 3clane Family Foundation Inc.’s grantmaking is the size and durability of its support for Milligan University and Truth in Nature. Those two recipients appear in consecutive years and sit at the top of the foundation’s recent awards, pointing to a funding pattern built around sustained relationships rather than broad dispersal. The foundation’s stated priorities center on making disciples, service through sports, and Christian education, and the recent grants show those priorities expressed through private Christian higher education, faith-based ministry, and outdoor or conservation-oriented programming. The grants also show a mix of institutional support and targeted program funding. Athletes in Action received support in 2023 and 2024, while other awards reached local churches, ministries, and community organizations across the United States. Several grants are labeled charitable, and the funding list includes organizations tied to sports ministry, disciple-making, and Christian education. The foundation’s recent activity suggests a values-driven approach that favors organizations aligned with its statement of faith and its stated ministry themes.

    What 3clane Family Foundation Funds

    Christian higher education is a clear theme in the recent record. Milligan University received $95,100 in 2023 and $83,730 in 2024, making it one of the foundation’s most visible higher-education recipients. Sports ministry is another consistent lane. Athletes in Action received $30,000 in 2024 after a $10,000 grant in 2023, and The Cru Foundation received $7,650 in 2023 and $7,150 in 2024 with a stated purpose of funding Athletes in Action. The foundation also backed environmental or nature-based programming through Truth in Nature, which received $66,700 in 2024 and $64,000 in 2023. Local ministry support appears as well, including Life Church at $16,606 in 2023 and $14,713 in 2024.

    How 3clane Family Foundation Gives

    Typical grants are small to mid-sized, with a p25 of $1,200, a median of $2,600, and a p75 of $13,000. The recent record mixes modest awards with a few much larger commitments, indicating a grantmaking style that can support both operating needs and major institutional grants. Repeated recipients appear across multiple years, including several awards in both 2023 and 2024, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. The foundation makes direct grants and also uses an online application process with board interviews for applicants under its general grant programs. It does not make program-related investments and does not fund individuals.
