The Hansen Stewardship Foundation is a highly concentrated faith-based funder that directs the bulk of its resources to Baptist and evangelical religious organizations, with a mix of local church support and funding for mission-oriented groups. Grants are large and targeted, often to a handful of organizations that align with conservative Protestant ministry, evangelism, church operations, and global missions. The foundation appears to prioritize sustaining and expanding Baptist ministry work rather than broad-based community philanthropy.
A single church grant anchors the Hansen Stewardship Foundation’s recent giving: Elk Ridge Baptist Church received $734,000 in 2023, followed by another $325,000 in 2024. That kind of repeat support points to a funder that backs ongoing ministry operations rather than one-time projects. The foundation’s recent record centers on Baptist and evangelical organizations, especially churches, mission agencies, and discipleship ministries tied to conservative Protestant networks. Its largest recipients include E3 Partners Ministry, which received $646,900 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2023, and Baptist International Missions Inc., which was awarded $239,200 in 2024. Other substantial grants went to Baptist Bible Fellowship International, Landmark Baptist Church, and Greater Europe Mission, showing a pattern of funding both local congregations and wider mission infrastructure. The mix suggests an emphasis on church support, evangelism, church planting, and related religious education work. Grants also reach smaller faith-based organizations in Texas and beyond, but the overall profile is defined by large, targeted awards to organizations operating within Baptist and evangelical ministry structures.
Within church support, the foundation gave $175,000 to Landmark Baptist Church in Haltom City and $141,280 to the same church in Fort Worth, alongside $84,600 to World Baptist Fellowship in Arlington. Those awards show a preference for congregational and denominational support. For mission work, Hansen Stewardship Foundation backed Baptist International Missions Inc. with $239,200 and Baptist Bible Fellowship International with $191,775, both in 2024. It also supported Greater Europe Mission with $151,325 and Cmml Inc. with $125,800. The foundation also funds evangelism and discipleship organizations. E3 Partners Ministry received $646,900 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2023, while Wycliffe Bible Translators received $22,100. Smaller grants to Youth With a Mission Montana and the Center for Mission Mobilization extend that pattern into mobilization and training.
The foundation’s typical grant size is $6,675 at the 25th percentile, $52,466 at the median, and $148,814 at the 75th percentile, showing a wide spread between smaller support grants and larger operating awards. Its recent record includes repeated grants to the same recipients across multiple years, including Elk Ridge Baptist Church, E3 Partners Ministry, Landmark Baptist Church, and Choices Clinic & Life Resource Center. The structure appears to be a private foundation focused on institutional religious support rather than individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. Most awards are directed to organizations rather than people, with recurring support for ministries and churches suggesting ongoing relationship-based funding rather than a one-time application cycle.

Highly concentrated giving: very few, large grants to religious organizations. Repeat funding to at least one local church (Elk Ridge) and substantial single gifts to national/international Baptist mission organizations, indicating preference for steady, high-dollar commitments over many small grants.
