AEGIS CHARITIES directs virtually all of its recorded giving to a single faith-based recipient, Washington Evergreen Church, providing sizable charitable donations across multiple grants. The foundation appears focused on supporting a local church’s operations and community-focused religious activities rather than a broad portfolio of causes.
Highly concentrated support: all recorded funds go to one repeat grantee (three grants totaling $631,000), indicating preference for large, directed gifts to a single institution rather than diversified or small-dollar giving.
Aegis Charities has recorded its largest recent grants as annual charitable donations to Washington Evergreen Church in Mount Jackson, Virginia, including a $230,000 grant in 2025, $201,000 in 2024, and $200,000 in 2023. That repeated pattern makes the foundation’s giving profile unusually focused: nearly all of the available grant record points to one faith-based recipient rather than a broad portfolio of charities. The foundation also appears in smaller, targeted grants tied to specific community needs, including support for an advocacy award, disaster-related services, and a school garden project. Those additional awards show that Aegis Charities can fund both core operating support and narrower project-based requests, but the main thread in the record is sustained support for a local Protestant congregation. The scale of the church grants also stands out relative to the rest of the recorded gifts, suggesting a grantmaking approach centered on a single relationship and a small number of auxiliary charitable efforts.
Faith-based support is the clearest theme in the record. Aegis Charities gave $230,000 to Washington Evergreen Church for charitable donation in 2025, followed by $201,000 in 2024 and $200,000 in 2023, indicating sustained support for a congregation’s operations and religious activity. The foundation also made a smaller grant of $2,000 to Educate Fairfax for the Freedom Hill Elementary School garden project, which places school-based environmental education in its giving mix. Another grant went to Team Rubicon for $4,403, described as a charitable donation supporting multiple impact pathways including disaster rebuild and international services. The same record includes a $5,000 contribution to Easter Seals for an advocacy award, showing that the foundation has also supported nonprofit recognition tied to advocacy.
Aegis Charities’ recent grants show a wide spread in size, with a p25 of $4,552, a median of $102,500, and a p75 of $200,750. The distribution reflects a small number of very large gifts, anchored by repeated six-figure support for one recipient and a handful of much smaller awards. The record also suggests recurring giving rather than one-off support, since Washington Evergreen Church appears across multiple consecutive years. Aegis Charities is a private foundation by behavior in the grant record, and it also funds individuals, though the recent listed grants are all organizational awards. No application process is shown in the data.
