The Henry & Martha Hederman Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving locally in Mississippi on healthcare and traditional Protestant church support. The bulk of its funds go to operating/general support for a regional medical center, while a smaller portion supports the local Presbyterian congregation, indicating a focus on community health and faith-based institutions.
Highly concentrated: few, relatively large grants with repeat funding to a single primary beneficiary (MS Baptist Medical Center) and occasional support for a local church; primarily unrestricted operating support.
The Henry & Martha Hederman Charitable Foundation’s recent grantmaking is anchored by repeated support for Mississippi institutions tied to healthcare, churches, schools, and theological education. In the latest grants, Mississippi Baptist Medical Center received $20,000 in 2024 and another $20,000 in 2025, while First Presbyterian Church in Jackson also appears across multiple years, including $20,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024 and 2025. That pattern points to a foundation that gives steady, relationship-based support rather than one-off project funding. A second visible thread is support for educational and religious institutions in Jackson and nearby Mississippi communities. Reformed Theological Seminary received $10,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025, and French Camp received $10,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for school purposes. The foundation also gave to Jackson Prep, First Baptist Church, and Gateway Rescue Mission, showing a broad but still locally focused portfolio built around organizations with institutional roles in community life. The grant descriptions are often general-purpose, which suggests flexibility for recipient organizations within their own operations.
Healthcare is a central theme in the foundation’s giving. Mississippi Baptist Medical Center received $20,000 in 2024 and $20,000 in 2025, both described as support for the purposes of the organization. Religious institutions are another clear focus. First Presbyterian Church in Jackson received $20,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in both 2024 and 2025, each time for the church’s purposes. First Baptist Church also received $10,000 grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Education appears through support for schools and theological training. French Camp received $10,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for school purposes, while Reformed Theological Seminary received $10,000 in each of those same years. The foundation also funded Jackson Prep at $10,000 in 2024 and 2025.
Typical grants cluster tightly around a $10,000 level, with p25 at $5,000, median at $10,000, and p75 at $10,000. Recent grants also show larger awards at $15,000 and $20,000, but the center of gravity is clearly around four-figure to low five-figure support. The pattern is recurring rather than one-off: several recipients appear in multiple years, including 2023 through 2025. The foundation makes institutional grants, often framed as support for an organization’s or church’s purposes. It does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
