About Festus & Helen Stacy Foundationinc
Large awards recur in the Festus & Helen Stacy Foundationinc’s grant history, including seven-figure-scale support to Christian intermediaries and ministries such as National Christian Foundation, Compassion International, and Hope South Florida. The foundation gives across evangelism, church planting, leadership development, holistic ministries, media and technology, stewardship, and children and youth, with many grants marked for qualified purposes rather than tightly restricted line items. Its recent awards show a mix of national and South Florida-based recipients, alongside international Christian relief organizations that work through sponsorship, discipleship, and humanitarian service. A clear pattern is repeated funding to the same organizations over multiple years. Compassion International appears in consecutive years, National Christian Foundation is funded in multiple years and through both the national and South Florida affiliate, and South Florida ministries such as First Baptist Fort Lauderdale, 4kids of South Florida, and Hope South Florida also appear more than once. The result is a grantmaker that combines relational, project-specific support with sustained backing for ministries already known to the foundation.
