About Back to the Bible Foundation
Back to the Bible Foundation centers its giving on faith-based ministries that help people move closer to Jesus and become biblically engaged disciple-makers. Its largest recent grants went to Back to the Bible GNBA in Lincoln, including $377,768 in 2024 and $171,760 in 2023, both for support of other faith-based ministries. That pattern shows a funder that uses sizable operating-style awards to sustain ministry work rather than narrow project-only support. The foundation also backed other ministry organizations with meaningful grants, such as $134,525 to CEF International in 2023 and $87,200 to Emmaus Mennonite Church in 2024. Across the recent-grants list, the recipients include churches, Christian education groups, mission organizations, and ministries tied to evangelism, spiritual formation, and religious education. The awards are not limited to one type of institution: they reach congregations, parachurch ministries, and organizations serving families, youth, and Bible engagement. The foundation’s giving reflects a consistent interest in direct support for peer ministries and capacity-building for religious organizations.
What Back to the Bible Foundation Funds
A major share of the foundation’s giving supports other faith-based ministries. Examples include $48,200 to Avant Ministries in 2025 for support of ministry work, $30,268 to Cru in 2025 for support of ministry work, and $17,600 to Send International in 2025 for support of ministry work. Christian education is another clear thread: Berean Christian Academy received $32,100 in 2024, $29,362 in 2023, and $27,000 in 2025, showing repeated support across years. The foundation also funds church-based and family-oriented ministry work, including $71,000 to Pregnancy and Family Resource Center in 2023 for support of other faith-based ministries and $14,000 in 2025 for support of ministry work. Outreach and media-related ministry appear as well through grants to FEBC and Voice of the Martyrs.
How Back to the Bible Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster around five figures, with a p25 of $7,650, a median of $11,200, and a p75 of $25,725. The recent grants show repeated support to several recipients across multiple years, indicating an ongoing relationship model rather than one-time awards. The foundation is an operating-style grantmaker focused on ministry support, not individuals and not program-related investments. Its stated philosophy emphasizes faith-based grantmaking, direct support to peer ministries, and capacity building for religious organizations. The recent-grants list is fully domestic, and the award language often points to general ministry support rather than tightly restricted project funding.
