Faithful Servants Foundation concentrates its giving on Christian faith-based causes, primarily funding theological education, scholarships for Christian institutions, and international missionary/ministries. It also directs substantial support to care for vulnerable children with disabilities through repeat, sizable grants. Overall the foundation favors mission-oriented nonprofits and religious education over secular causes.
Faithful Servants Foundation gives most often to Christian education and missionary work, while also maintaining a repeated line of support for Loving Heart Home, a residential care setting for disabled or orphaned children. Its largest recent grants include $40,000 to Biola University for scholarship support and $38,000 to Loving Heart Home for disabled orphans support, showing a mix of academic funding and direct care. The foundation also backs theological training through Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and Westminster Theological Seminary Scholarship, and it extends support to missionary organizations such as Barnabas International and Mission Incubator. Smaller but recurring awards reach church and ministry groups, including Korean American mission organizations and faith-based training programs. The overall pattern is mission-oriented rather than broad-based philanthropy: the grants concentrate on Christian institutions, religious training, and projects tied to evangelism, service, and care for vulnerable children. Recent awards also show that the foundation is comfortable funding both U.S.-based institutions and international ministry efforts, including recipients connected to Brazil, Mongolia, Central Asia, and Africa.
Faithful Servants Foundation supports scholarship programs across Christian higher education and seminaries. In 2025, it gave $30,666 to Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary for scholarship support and $30,000 to Westminster Theological Seminary Scholarship for scholarship funding. The foundation also funds missionary organizations and church-linked work. It awarded $26,000 to Sil International for a Korean American mission group and $17,000 to Src International for missionary work in Brazil. Another area is direct service for vulnerable children: Loving Heart Home received $33,700 in 2024 for disabled orphans support and $19,800 in 2023 for a group home for disabled orphans. The foundation also made $25,000 grants to One Acre Fund for aid to increase crop yields for farmers.
Typical grants cluster in the mid-thousands: the 25th percentile is $4,000, the median is $8,500, and the 75th percentile is $12,000. The recent list shows repeated support to several organizations across multiple years, including Loving Heart Home, Biola University, Sil International, Barnabas International, Reignite Hope, and Family Saver Center. Faithful Servants Foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF and not a program-related investor. The pattern is mostly direct grants, with some organizations receiving awards in successive years rather than one-time gifts.
