    About Children's Hunger Fund

    Children's Hunger Fund centers its grantmaking on relief for children and families, with large, repeated awards to church- and community-based partners delivering direct aid. The biggest recent grants in the record go to Love Community Outreach in Santa Ana, Illinois Partners in Hope in New Lenox, and Templo Calvario in Santa Ana, showing a pattern of substantial support for organizations that can distribute help at scale. The foundation’s stated purpose is to deliver hope to suffering children by equipping local churches for gospel-centered mercy ministry, and its focus areas include food security, emergency relief, poverty alleviation, child welfare, and church capacity building and training. Recent grants also point to broad use of partner-driven implementation: Christian Appalachian Project in Hagerhill received multiple large relief grants across 2023 to 2025, while Helping Hands Society of Los Angeles in Vernon appears in several years as well. The grant list suggests a funder that uses sizable, recurring awards to sustain relief work through local intermediaries rather than one-off project funding. Its beneficiary types include children in need, families in need, and church-affiliated communities.

    What Children's Hunger Fund Funds

    Food security is a central theme in the record. Children's Hunger Fund awarded $8,494,501 to Midwest Food Bank in Normal for relief in 2024, and $7,966,593 to the same organization in 2025. Emergency relief is another clear priority: Illinois Partners in Hope in New Lenox received $24,678,349 in 2023 and $23,222,760 in 2025 for relief. The foundation also supports faith-based community development through church partners such as Templo Cristiano Agape in Irving, which received $8,067,847 in 2023 for relief. Child and family support appears in the recurring relationship with One More Child in Lakeland, which received $8,927,733 in 2024 and $5,692,553 in 2025 for relief.

    How Children's Hunger Fund Gives

    The grant-size profile is concentrated in mid-five-figure to low-six-figure awards, with a p25 of $7,432, a median of $10,632, and a p75 of $21,612. The recent record shows repeated support to the same recipients across multiple years, including several organizations that appear in 2023, 2024, and 2025, which points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. Children's Hunger Fund is a regular funder, not a donor-advised fund, and it does not make program-related investments. The grants are primarily relief-oriented and appear to be used for sustained partner implementation through local churches and community organizations.
