About Advancing Native Missions
Advancing Native Missions channels support to native missionaries serving in more than 100 countries, with grants aimed at basic living and ministry needs such as rent, Bibles, transportation, medicine, housing, and ministry vehicles. The foundation frames its work around encouraging, equipping, and advocating for missionaries who are introducing the Gospel of Jesus to unevangelized and unreached people where they live. That mission orientation shows up in its recent operational grants, which are largely structured as ongoing support rather than project-specific awards. The largest recent grant listed is $119,246 to Cornerstone Ministries Int'l in Tustin, California for operational support. Another sizeable award went to Presbyterian Ministries Int'l in St Louis, Missouri, which received $84,009 in 2024 and $52,852 in 2025. The repeat support to both organizations suggests the foundation maintains continuing relationships with some grantees rather than treating each award as a one-time transaction. Its portfolio also includes ministries connected to evangelism, church planting, humanitarian aid, education, and refugee or displacement support. Across the recent grants list, the awards are almost entirely general support for organizational continuity and ministry delivery.
What Advancing Native Missions Funds
A clear theme in Advancing Native Missions’ giving is operational support for missionary networks. Cornerstone Ministries International received $81,301 in 2024 for operational support, and later another $15,000 in 2023, indicating sustained backing for the organization’s work. The foundation also supports ministry training and theological education. Multimedia Theological Training was awarded $20,000 in 2024 and $16,000 in 2025, both for operational support, showing an ongoing relationship with a group focused on training infrastructure. Another thread is support for cross-border missionary activity. China Harvest received $76,233 in 2025 for operational support, while Chinareach received $25,442 in 2024 for the same purpose. These grants fit the foundation’s stated emphasis on evangelism, church planting, and work among unreached people groups.
How Advancing Native Missions Gives
Typical grants fall in a moderate operating-support range, with a p25 of $9,206, a median of $14,250, and a p75 of $27,756. The recent grants list shows repeated awards to several recipients across multiple years, including Presbyterian Ministries Int'l, Cornerstone Ministries International, Global Fellowship, Mihret Medical Supply Group, Seedtime and Harvest Ministries, Reach Initiative Int'l, and Multimedia Theological Training. That pattern points to recurring support rather than isolated one-off giving. The foundation’s philosophy tags also align with general operating support, core/ongoing operational funding, and overhead and administrative support. Its active partner-support program is monthly or one-time and does not accept unsolicited applications.
