About Henry P and Susan C Crowell Trust
The Henry P and Susan C Crowell Trust’s recent giving is marked by large general grants to evangelical training and mission organizations, with several awards at the $200,000 to $254,500 level. Development Associates International received $254,500 in 2023, while Fuller Theological Seminary received $225,000 in 2023 and 2024, followed by $200,000 in 2025. Those grants sit alongside support for Bangui Evangelical School of Theology, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, and other ministries tied to evangelical teaching, leadership formation, and theological education. The trust’s stated purpose is to advance the teaching and active extension of the doctrines of Evangelical Christianity through approved grants to qualified organizations. That purpose shows up in a portfolio that includes seminaries, campus ministry, missionary groups, and Christian education organizations. Its recent awards also include flexible general support, which appears repeatedly in the grant list and aligns with the trust’s broader philosophy tags for unrestricted and core support. The pattern is not limited to one institution type. The trust has funded organizations working in theological formation, discipleship, evangelism, and ministry training, with recurring support for some grantees across multiple years. Several recipients appear in more than one year, indicating an ongoing relationship rather than isolated awards.

How Henry P and Susan C Crowell Trust Gives
Typical grant size centers on the middle of the distribution: the 25th percentile is $22,000, the median is $40,000, and the 75th percentile is $60,000. Recent grants include several larger awards above that range, but the distribution suggests many smaller commitments alongside a smaller set of larger general grants. The trust is a regular funder rather than a DAF, and it does not make program-related investments. Recipients appear across multiple years, including several repeat grants to the same organizations. The active programs use an LOI-first or screened application flow, and all listed programs accept unsolicited applications.
