About Christian Advocates Serving Evangelism
Christian Advocates Serving Evangelism Inc has concentrated its giving in large transfers to the American Center for Law and Justice, including $26,509,912 in 2025, $24,992,428 in 2024, and $22,967,000 in 2023 for litigation and legal research. That pattern points to a foundation built around sustained legal advocacy rather than a broad grant portfolio. The recent record also shows support for affiliated work through Aclj Action Inc in Washington, DC, where grants were made for pro-life research, policy research, lobbying activities, education, and lobbying activities. Another recurring recipient is the Law & Justice Institute in Virginia Beach, which received education funding in multiple years. Across these grants, the foundation appears to back legal strategy, education, and policy activity tied to religious liberty, constitutional law, human life, judicial nominations, patriotic expression, and international legal work. The scale of the largest awards, together with repeated support for the same organizations, suggests a relationship-based grantmaking pattern centered on organizations engaged in advocacy and litigation.

In litigation and legal research, the foundation gave $26,509,912 to the American Center for Law and Justice in 2025 and $24,992,428 in 2024, both described as litigation/legal research grants.

Public-policy activity also appears in the record through Aclj Action Inc, which received $300,000 in 2023 for pro-life research, policy research, and lobbying activities. In 2024, the same recipient received $100,000 for lobbying activities, and in 2025 it received another $300,000 for education.

How Christian Advocates Serving Evangelism Gives
The grant-size profile is highly skewed: p25 is $300,000, median is $324,350, and p75 is $22,967,000. That spread reflects a small number of very large legal grants alongside smaller education and policy grants. The same recipients appear across multiple years, including the American Center for Law and Justice, Aclj Action Inc, and the Law & Justice Institute, which points to recurring support rather than one-off awards. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The recent record shows grants awarded in the US only.
