Hearthstone Group is a faith-driven funder that concentrates its giving on evangelical Christian ministries, mission-support infrastructure, and faith-based humanitarian work both domestically and internationally. Their grants range from operational support for churches and youth ministries to mission infrastructure (notably aviation and housing) and international child-focused development projects. They make a few larger, high-impact gifts alongside multiple smaller donations to local churches, Christian schools, and mission partners. Repeat giving to mission and youth-focused organizations suggests sustained interest in evangelical outreach and capacity-building for missions.
A $500,000 grant to Missionary Aviation for aviation repair stands out in Hearthstone Group’s recent giving and captures a pattern that runs through its portfolio: mission infrastructure, evangelical ministry support, and faith-based humanitarian work. Hearthstone Group, a public charity, funds a mix of large project grants and smaller operating or contribution grants to churches, youth ministries, schools, and Christian service organizations. Recent support includes repeated gifts to Covenant Youth of Alaska for youth ministry, along with grants tied to housing, farming, refugee assistance, and library support. The largest awards sit alongside a longer list of mid-sized gifts, which suggests a funder willing to back both major capacity needs and more localized ministry activity. Their grants also cross domestic and international settings, with recipients in Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Arizona, and other locations, plus a non-U.S. recipient tied to housing work. The overall picture is of a faith-driven grantmaker focused on practical support for Christian outreach, community care, and mission-related operations.
Hearthstone Group gives across a few connected cause areas, with mission logistics at the center. In 2023, they awarded $500,000 to Missionary Aviation in Soldotna, Alaska for aviation repair, a direct investment in mission support infrastructure. They also funded housing-related work in 2024 with $30,000 to Hello Creative for non-profit housing and $10,000 to Embrace Liberia for mission housing, showing interest in shelter tied to service delivery. International Christian development appears in grants to Children of the Nations, including $50,000 for Malawi Farm and $40,000 for Chechere Farm, both tied to farm-based project work. On the ministry side, they gave $10,000 each year to Covenant Youth of Alaska for youth ministry and supported Great Falls First Alliance Church through a benevolent fund grant.
Hearthstone Group’s typical grant size is $11,125 at the 25th percentile, $20,000 at the median, and $37,750 at the 75th percentile. The pattern is uneven, with one very large outlier at $500,000 and several grants in the $10,000 to $50,000 range. The grant list shows repeated support to some recipients across multiple years, including Covenant Youth of Alaska in 2023 and 2024 and Children of the Nations in 2023 and 2024. Hearthstone Group is a public charity, not a private family foundation, and it does not fund individuals or program-related investments. The records provided do not show an application process, so the giving pattern is best read from grant purpose and recurring recipient relationships.

Highly concentrated giving: a single very large grant dominates the portfolio alongside several mid- and small-sized faith-based gifts. Mix of one-off donations and a few repeat grantees; emphasis on capacity-building and mission enablement rather than broad, diversified philanthropy.
Notable grantees: Missionary Aviation, Children of the Nations, Covenant Youth of Alaska, ZimZam Global, Valley Christian School
