About Christ Cares for Kids Foundation
Christ Cares for Kids Foundation concentrates its giving on faith-based education and youth-focused religious ministries, providing large unrestricted grants to a very small set of organizations. The foundation favors Christian K–12 schools and evangelical ministries, supporting operating/general funds rather than project-specific initiatives. Its grants suggest a preference for organizations that combine religious mission with youth programming. While geographically not limited to one city, recipients are primarily U.S.-based Christian schools and ministries.

About Christ Cares for Kids Foundation
Christ Cares for Kids Foundation gives large unrestricted grants to a small circle of Christian schools, churches, and ministries, with one 2025 grant reaching $2.5 million to Hope College for general fund support. Across the recent grants list, the pattern is clear: the foundation backs organizations that combine faith formation with education, youth ministry, and broader care work, rather than narrow project-only awards. It supported Traverse City Christian School in both 2024 and 2025, and it also made sizeable general grants to Bellevue Christian School, Union Gospel Mission, and New Hope Community Church. The foundation’s recent awards show a preference for flexible support that can cover operating needs, even when the recipient’s work extends into housing, prayer, community care, or Christian schooling. Grants are awarded to a limited set of partners, with most checks landing in the United States and many recipients concentrated in Michigan.
What Christ Cares for Kids Foundation Funds
Christian education is one of the clearest themes in the recent grant list. Christ Cares for Kids Foundation gave $1,150,000 to Traverse City Christian School in 2025 and $950,000 to Bellevue Christian School in Clyd Hill, both labeled general fund support. Faith-based ministry is another major lane: the foundation awarded $1,355,000 to Samaritans Purse for general support, and $720,000 to International Justice Mission for the same purpose. Youth and family-oriented ministry also appears in the portfolio. It gave $247,500 to Momco in Denver, $213,750 to Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs, and $142,500 to Young Life in Traverse City, all as general grants. The foundation also supports local church-based and community ministries, including $665,000 to Crossroads Bible Church and $570,000 to Jubilee Reach in Bellevue.
How Christ Cares for Kids Foundation Gives
Typical grant size centers on mid-sized general support, with a p25 of $19,500, a median of $45,000, and a p75 of $125,750. The recent awards list also shows a wide upper tail, including seven-figure grants alongside many smaller operating grants. Recipients recur across years: Traverse City Christian School appears in both 2024 and 2025, as do Big Life, Bellevue Christian School, International Justice Mission, New Hope Community Church, and Single Moms Ministry. That repeat pattern suggests ongoing partnerships rather than one-off awards. The foundation is a regular funder and does not fund individuals. Grants in the recent list are overwhelmingly general fund awards, and the active program descriptions indicate partner-based giving with board review rather than unsolicited applications.
