Christ Foundation

About Christ Foundation

A defining pattern in Christ Foundation’s recent giving is its support for therapeutic residential work with at-risk youth. The largest listed grant goes to Chestnut Mountain Ranch Foundation in Morgantown, West Virginia, at $500,000 for a special project, and the same organization also appears with a $375,000 building match grant and additional support tied to salary and banquet sponsorship. That combination points to a funder willing to back both facilities and operating needs when it sees a close fit with its mission. The foundation also funds child- and family-centered service providers with substantial, practical awards. One More Child received $250,000 for general operations, while Foster the Family in Cherry Hill, New Jersey received $100,000 for salary support in 2024 and again in 2025. Other grants in the record support child welfare, foster care, adoption, emergency assistance, food distribution, maternity-home work, and faith-based ministry. The mix includes project grants, operating support, salary grants, matching grants, and sponsorship underwriting, showing a preference for concrete program delivery rather than broad thematic experimentation. Across the record, the foundation appears to work with a relatively small set of repeat partners and to stay close to organizations serving children, families, and communities in need.

What Christ Foundation Funds

Child welfare and foster-care services are a clear thread. Broken Chains Ministry in Akron, Ohio received $100,000 in 2025 for Lydia’s House operations, and again $100,000 in 2024 for the same purpose, showing sustained support for a specific family-serving program. The foundation also backs child-focused ministry and sponsorship work. Compassion International in Colorado Springs, Colorado received $75,650 in 2025 for child sponsorship and Togo/Dominican Republic operations, including Agogome Togo operations. That grant connects the foundation to both overseas child sponsorship and international program administration. Housing and crisis support appear in several awards. Love Our Community in Uniontown, Ohio received $85,000 in 2023 for salaries and a building project, while Hope-full Pastures in Hamilton, Ohio received $60,000 in 2025 for salary support. In food-security work, Opportunity Parish Ecumenical in Akron, Ohio received $70,000 in 2024 for general operations and a feeding kids backpack project.
