We provide hope for every child, healing for every family, every day.
A single 2024 grant defines the latest giving record: Evangelical Children's Home awarded $593,278 to Evangelical Children's Home School in St Louis to fund excess operating expenses. That grant sits within an organization whose stated purpose is to provide hope for every child, healing for every family, every day. The focus areas point to a broad child-and-family service model rather than a narrow funding niche, with grantmaking connected to child welfare, mental health and psychiatry, foster care, child and family therapy, alternative K-12 education, and homeless youth or transitional living. The recent grant also shows that the foundation’s support reaches into school-based operations, not only direct clinical or residential care. Leadership is listed under Julia A. Adami, and the foundation’s profile indicates a local geographic scope with all recent giving in Missouri. The combination of child welfare services, behavioral health, and transitional supports suggests a continuum of care that serves children and youth with behavioral or mental health needs, foster youth, and families involved in the child welfare system.
In education-related work, Evangelical Children's Home funded its school with $593,278 for excess operating expenses, indicating direct support for a service-delivery setting rather than a project-only grant. The broader topic taxonomy includes special education for students with behavioral and mental health needs, which fits the foundation’s child-centered service model. On the behavioral health side, its active programs include the Youth Opportunities Program tax credits, tied to Conflict Resolution for Troubled Youth and open to donations of $500 or more. The foundation also works across family-support settings: its listed focus areas include child and family therapy and family counseling and therapeutic services. For youth in transition, the profile identifies homeless youth and transitional living, alongside transitional and independent living programs for youth and foster care case management.
The typical grant size is $593,278 at the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile, so the recorded grant distribution is not spread across different award sizes in the available data. The latest 990 year on file is 2024. The profile points to a local grantmaking pattern, with 100% of grants to recipients in Missouri and the top state by grant count also Missouri. The organization accepts unsolicited donations through several active giving channels, including general donations, gifts of stock, gifts-in-kind, estate and legacy giving, and Missouri Youth Opportunities Program tax credits.
