The 419 Foundation is primarily an evangelical Christian grantmaker that concentrates funding on missionary and ministry work, especially youth and campus-focused evangelism. Most dollars go to a small set of faith-based organizations (notably Josiah Venture and Cru Global) with several grants designated for general/unrestricted ministry support, local church needs, and occasional individual hardship assistance.
A single $175,000 grant for Emergency Ukraine Relief stands out in 419 Foundation’s recent giving and signals how heavily the funder leans into evangelical mission work and short-term crisis response. The foundation’s grant list shows a mix of large ministry operating support, designated help for individual missionaries, and smaller hardship awards tied to its faith-based network. Josiah Venture Nfp appears multiple times, including the Ukraine relief grant and later support for missionary Casey Yorman, showing a recurring relationship rather than a one-off award. Cru Global Inc is another repeated recipient, with support ranging from unrestricted ministry funding to a grant tied to the Turkey earthquake response and a charitable event. The pattern is not limited to overseas relief: the foundation also awards general support to churches and Christian-oriented organizations, plus occasional direct aid to individuals connected to its ministry circles. Across the recent grants, the foundation’s giving is concentrated in relatively small awards, with occasional larger exceptions tied to emergencies or core ministry support.
Emergency relief is a visible theme in the foundation’s grant record. In 2023, it gave $175,000 to Josiah Venture Nfp for Emergency Ukraine Relief, and it also gave $3,482 to International Rescue Committee Inc for Ukraine Relief Efforts. A separate crisis-related award went to Cru Global Inc for Turkey earthquake relief in 2024. Beyond disaster response, the foundation supports evangelical ministry operations through unrestricted and designated gifts. It gave $60,000 to Cru Global Inc for General & Unrestricted in 2024 and $5,500 to Worldwide Educational Resources for General & Unrestricted in the same year. Church-directed support also appears in the record, including $7,500 to Kauai Baptist Church for the Wanda Stuart Fund and $5,000 to First Baptist Church for General & Unrestricted. The pattern shows a preference for faith-based organizations, mission work, and practical support tied to ministry needs.
Typical grants are small: the 25th percentile is $1,750, the median is $4,500, and the 75th percentile is $6,750. The distribution includes a few much larger awards, but most grants cluster below $10,000. The same recipients appear across multiple years, especially Cru Global Inc and Josiah Venture Nfp, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. The foundation also makes direct assistance grants to individuals and event-based or unrestricted support to ministries and churches. It does not make program-related investments. The latest 990 year on file is 2025.
