The Dickey Family Foundation concentrates its giving on faith-based, locally rooted organizations, providing unrestricted operational support to a small set of repeat grantees. Most dollars go to a hometown Baptist church and evangelical ministry, with a large portion also directed to a women’s clinic that appears mission-aligned with the foundation’s religious priorities. Grants are pragmatic and operational rather than program‑restricted, indicating trust in core organizational needs.
Dickey Family Foundation Inc. channels much of its giving to a small circle of faith-based organizations in Sandersville and nearby communities, with operations support appearing repeatedly across multiple years. The largest recent grant on file is $87,500 to First Baptist Church in Sandersville for operations, followed by a sequence of substantial awards to the same church in 2024 and 2023. A second major thread is ABC Women's Clinic in Sandersville, which also received repeated operating support over three years. The foundation’s grant list shows a pattern of backing organizations it appears to know well, including churches, evangelical ministries, and locally rooted service providers. Cru in Orlando is another recurring recipient, reflecting support for campus and student ministry alongside the church-centered giving. Smaller grants extend that same pattern to groups such as Young Life, Sandersville Community Church, Brentwood School, and First Love Kids. Across the recent record, the foundation favors unrestricted or operations-style funding rather than tightly designated project grants, suggesting an emphasis on core organizational support for a locally focused set of grantees.
Faith-based institutions anchor the foundation’s recent grantmaking. In church support, it gave $87,500 to First Baptist Church in Sandersville for operations, and also funded Sandersville Community Church and Sandersville United Methodist Churc for operating support. The same pattern appears in student and campus ministry: Cru in Orlando received $26,500 in 2023 and $25,000 in both 2024 and 2025, all for operations. Women’s clinic support is another clear thread, with ABC Women's Clinic in Sandersville receiving $36,000 in 2024 and $33,000 in 2023 and 2025. The foundation also backed youth-oriented faith organizations, including Young Life in Colorado Springs, which received operating grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Grant sizes are modest to mid-sized overall, with a p25 of $500, a median of $4,151, and a p75 of $11,962. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, especially for churches, Cru, and ABC Women's Clinic, which points to an ongoing relationship style of giving rather than one-off awards. The foundation appears to operate as a family foundation with local, mostly unrestricted support; the grants listed are overwhelmingly labeled operations. No individual-giving or program-related investment activity is shown in the provided data.
