    About Crazy Love Ministries

    Crazy Love Ministries gives almost entirely as ministry support, with large checks to faith-based organizations and congregations rather than to individuals. Its recent activity includes a $417,649 grant to Basil Technologies, a $206,665 grant to Thess Bar, and a $118,861 grant to We Are Church, showing support for ministries across both established and emerging faith communities. The organization’s stated mission is to promote a higher view of God and encourage people worldwide to respond to God’s love with wholehearted devotion to Jesus, and that mission is reflected in grants tied to Christian ministry, religious education, and spiritual care. Recent awards also include Kardia, Village Life, and New Life Dream Center, alongside ministries outside California such as Sports Excellence International and International House of Prayer of Kansas City. The portfolio is built around operational and programmatic support, with grant sizes that can range from modest five-figure awards to very large commitments. The recurring emphasis is on sustaining ministry activity, strengthening church-related work, and supporting faith-based organizations serving local communities.

    What Crazy Love Ministries Funds

    Christian ministry is the clearest thread in the grant list. In 2024, Crazy Love Ministries gave $114,459 to Kardia for ministry support, and in 2025 it awarded $31,200 to Kardia Ministries for the same purpose. Church-centered support also shows up in the $206,665 grant to Thess Bar and the $118,861 grant to We Are Church, both labeled ministry support. Community-facing faith work appears through awards such as $59,938 to Village Life and $60,000 to New Life Dream Center, again for ministry support. The foundation also backs religious education and broader spiritual formation through grants to organizations including Keep the Faith Corp and Heart for God. Across these examples, the funding language stays close to ministry support rather than project-specific program design.

    How Crazy Love Ministries Gives

    Typical grants cluster around a median of $30,000, with the 25th percentile at $15,000 and the 75th percentile at $90,856. The recent record shows both one-off awards and repeat support: Basil Technologies, Village Life, Kardia, and New Life Dream Center each appear more than once across 2023 to 2025. Crazy Love Ministries is organized as a public charity and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grants shown are overwhelmingly framed as ministry support, suggesting a pattern of operating or general support for faith-based organizations rather than restricted project grants.
