About Aim 5 Foundation

The AIM 5 Foundation concentrates on faith-driven, community-focused philanthropy—primarily funding Christian ministries, youth outreach, and child welfare organizations, with additional support for housing and local civic needs. Grants are sizable and often repeat awards to the same organizations, suggesting long-term partnerships and general operating support rather than one-off project grants. A strong local emphasis is evident (Topeka-area recipients), alongside a willingness to fund national faith-based service providers.

Giving Approach

Concentrated giving: a small number of relatively large grants, frequent repeat funding to core grantees, primarily unrestricted support for faith-oriented and local community organizations.

About Aim 5 Foundation

AIM 5 Foundation’s recent giving is defined by sustained support for faith-based organizations rather than isolated project grants. The largest grants in the record go to Mission Church Topeka and The Jones Project, each receiving $300,000 in 2024, while Lifeline Children’s Services received $250,000 in 2024 and another $225,000 in 2023, showing repeated support across years. The pattern extends to youth and ministry work as well: Young Life received $200,800 in 2024 after a $175,000 grant in 2023, and several other partners appear more than once in the recent-grants list. Across the portfolio, the foundation supports Christian ministries, youth outreach, child welfare and adoption services, church-led community work, and selected housing or education efforts. Its grant activity also includes long-term partner support, which points to relationship-based funding and multi-year commitments. The mix of Topeka-area awards and grants to organizations outside Kansas suggests a regional funder with a local center of gravity and a set of recurring mission-aligned partners.

What Aim 5 Foundation Funds

Faith-based ministry is a central theme. AIM 5 Foundation gave $300,000 to Mission Church Topeka for exempt-purpose support, alongside additional support in earlier years, reflecting repeated backing for church-based work. Youth development also appears in the record: Young Life received $200,800 in 2024 for exempt-purpose support, following a $175,000 grant in 2023. Child welfare and adoption are another clear lane. Lifeline Children’s Services received $250,000 in 2024 and $225,000 in 2023, while Lifeline received $200,000 in 2025, indicating continued support for that organization’s mission. The foundation also funds housing and education-related community needs, including a $150,000 grant to Habitat for Humanity and a $100,000 grant to Topeka Collegiate School.

How Aim 5 Foundation Gives

Typical awards are mid-sized but range widely: the 25th percentile is $4,780, the median is $26,250, and the 75th percentile is $71,500. The recent list shows repeated grants to the same organizations across multiple years, which is consistent with the foundation’s long-term partner and annual support programs. AIM 5 Foundation is a regular funder rather than a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Some grants are structured around ongoing partnerships with annual follow-up, while others are project requests or general grantmaking through strategic partnerships.
