The largest recent grant on file was $4,676,189 in 2024 to Heritage Christian Services Inc in Rochester for operational needs and capital projects, followed by a $1,931,685 grant in 2025 for the same broad purpose.

The foundation’s stated focus includes residential services, day habilitation, employment for people with disabilities, respite, community habilitation, planned giving and bequests, and endowments. Its summary also makes clear that the goal is to ensure people with intellectual and developmental disabilities have the best care and quality of life regardless of economic conditions. The grant record aligns with that mission: funding is concentrated on Heritage Christian Services Inc, with operating and capital support appearing together in recent years. Heritage Christian Services Foundation Inc also uses planned giving and major gifts to support long-term sustainability and strategic initiatives for the organization.

In 2023, it gave $613,009 to Heritage Christian Services Inc for operational support, and the taxonomy attached to recent grants includes operations and overhead support, facility construction and renovation, capital equipment purchase, and site readiness or physical infrastructure. The foundation also supports programs connected to residential and community-based services. Its active major gifts program is described as funding strategic initiatives such as 24-hour on-call nursing, faith-based inclusion, adaptive technologies, and workforce wage support. Those priorities point to a mix of healthcare, staffing, and program-enrichment needs. Long-term sustainability is another visible theme. Planned giving and estate gifts are part of the active program structure, with tools including wills, trusts, beneficiary designations, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder and lead trusts, securities, life insurance, real estate, and donor advised funds. The focus there is long-term support, endowment, and continuity for people with developmental disabilities.
