About Agur Foundation
Agur Foundation’s largest recent grant was $170,105 to International Cooperating Ministry for "HELP BUILD CHURCHES WORLDWIDE," a clear signal that international church construction sits at the center of its giving. Across the recent grants list, the foundation repeatedly funds evangelical Christian ministry through church planting, facilities support, missionary deployment, and pastoral support. It also makes smaller grants tied to faith-based counseling, international Bible distribution, pediatric cancer programs, special-needs recreation, and youth ministry. A recurring pattern is concentration around a small group of organizations that appear more than once over multiple years. International Cooperating Ministry received three grants in the recent list, while Multiplication Network Ministries and Shepherd's Staff Mission also recur with purpose statements tied to international church startups and missionaries. The foundation’s grants are not limited to one channel: some support direct ministry work, while others help churches and ministries with property, construction, coaching, and operating capacity. The most visible themes are overseas church planting and the infrastructure needed to sustain congregations, alongside faith-based support services that extend the foundation’s ministry focus beyond construction.
What Agur Foundation Funds
International church planting is the clearest throughline. The foundation gave $25,000 to Multiplication Network Ministries for "INT'L CHURCH STARTUPS AND SUPPORT" and $13,000 to Shepherd's Staff Mission for "INT'L CHURCH PLANTING MISSIONARIES." Those grants sit alongside larger construction-oriented gifts to ministries that build churches worldwide. It also supports ministry infrastructure and leadership development. Insights4ministry received $28,000 for "SUPPORT MINISTRY WORK," reflecting Agur Foundation’s interest in coaching and equipping church leaders. The foundation’s own program list includes pastoral coaching and mentoring through Insights4Ministry, showing a capacity-building emphasis rather than only project funding. A third strand is faith-linked social support. Grace Counseling Center received $27,000 for "MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING," and Mies Foundation received $10,608 for "INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION OF BIBLE." These grants show that the foundation funds both spiritual formation and counseling services within its broader evangelical mission support.
