About Educational Media Foundation
Educational Media Foundation directs most of its recent giving toward Christian media and outreach, with a $500,000 grant in 2025 to Convoy of Hope and a $350,000 grant in 2023 to the same organization. Those two awards sit at the top of a grantmaking pattern that also includes support for radio broadcasters, music organizations, schools, and faith-based nonprofits. The foundation’s work aligns with its stated mission as a nonprofit, multi-platform media company seeking to draw people closer to Christ. Recent grants also show support for organizations tied to Christian communication and evangelism, including Christian Music Broadcasters Inc., New Hope Academy, Gma Foundation (gospel Music Association), and With Open Eyes Foundation Inc. The foundation appears to use grantmaking as part of a broader religious media and outreach strategy rather than as a single-program sponsor. Its latest 990 year on file is 2025, and annual grants totaled $1,036,689.

Christian media is a core theme in the recent grants.

It also awarded $14,100 to Nab Leadership Foundation in 2025 and $8,250 to the same organization in 2023, both for Christian media. Its outreach-related giving includes $25,000 to Gma Foundation (gospel Music Association) in 2023 for Christian outreach & evangelism and another $25,000 to With Open Eyes Foundation Inc. for the same purpose. The foundation also supported Agape with $10,000 in 2025 for Christian media. Beyond media, it made a $25,000 general assistance grant to The Hope Center in 2025, showing some flexibility in the types of support it provides.
