Higher Rock Foundation directs sizable, targeted grants to Christian faith-based international humanitarian and mission work. Their funding supports hands-on relief and development (medical services, hospital construction) as well as rehabilitation and rescue services for vulnerable populations such as refugees, trafficking survivors, and exploited children. Grants are explicitly mission-oriented and overseas-focused, reflecting a preference for evangelical Christian partners doing direct service.
Higher Rock Foundation’s largest recent grant went to Operation Mobilization for Christ-centered rehabilitation for refugees, children forced into labor, and sex trafficked women and children across the globe. That single award fits a broader pattern: the foundation backs evangelical Christian humanitarian work that combines direct relief, rescue services, medical support, and faith-based rehabilitation. In 2025, it also funded Jesus Family Kingdom in Antananarivo for charity work and medical services in Madagascar, including the construction of a hospital in a rural village. Another large grant supported Justice Rising International in Los Angeles for educating children living in war zones, aimed at creating alternatives to poverty and child soldiering and helping reverse the effects of war. The foundation’s recent grants also include support for orphan care, trauma recovery, clean water, and church-centered development. Its giving reaches both international missions and smaller local Christian-serving organizations, showing a mix of overseas humanitarian priorities and community-based support within California.
In human trafficking response, Higher Rock Foundation gave $22,464 to Legacy Relief Project for international counter-human trafficking efforts and security force training, and $9,533 to Freedom Challenge to help free oppressed and enslaved women and children. In child welfare, it granted $45,000 to Acres of Love for Christ-centered care for orphaned children in South Africa through “Forever Family” homes, and $35,907 to Care of Children for placement of child orphans into Christ-centered homes in Asia. Medical and global health work also appears in the portfolio: Jesus Family Kingdom received $75,038 for medical services in Madagascar and hospital construction, while Peanut Butter Jesus received $20,000 for severe acute malnutrition treatment in Malawi through fortified peanut butter paste and Gospel distribution. The foundation also supported water access with a $1,000 grant to One Atta Time for clean water filtration systems.
Typical grant size clusters around $1,000 at the 25th percentile, $5,000 at the median, and $12,052 at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows both one-time awards and repeat support: Harbor Point Church and Plant With Purpose each received more than one grant across 2024 and 2025, and Freedom Challenge also appears in consecutive years. Higher Rock Foundation is classified as a regular funder and funds individuals as well as organizations. The pattern is mixed between larger project support and smaller benevolence-style awards, with several grants in the low thousands alongside a handful of six-figure and mid-five-figure gifts.

Concentrated giving: a very small number of relatively large grants to faith-based international organizations doing direct service and missions rather than broad institutional support.
Notable grantees: Operation Mobilization, Jesus Family Kingdom
Most of the foundation’s grants land in California, which accounts for 71% of grants and is also the top state by grant count. Recent California recipients include Los Angeles, Irvine, San Diego, Santa Ana, Tustin, San Clemente, Corona, Mission Viejo, Truckee, Valley Center, and multiple grants in San Juan Capistrano. Outside the U.S., the recent record includes one grant to Antananarivo in Madagascar and one to Tanzania through an international humanitarian recipient. The recipient mix is heavily domestic, but the named overseas grants show a clear international missions component.
Its recent grants favor evangelical Christian humanitarian work, including refugee rehabilitation, anti-trafficking response, orphan care, medical missions, clean water, and church-centered development. The largest grants in the latest file support refugee rehabilitation, medical services in Madagascar, and education for children living in war zones.
Yes. Harbor Point Church received grants in both 2024 and 2025, Plant With Purpose appears in both years as well, and Freedom Challenge also received support in consecutive years. That suggests some ongoing relationships rather than purely one-off gifts.
The typical grant size sits at $1,000 at the 25th percentile, $5,000 at the median, and $12,052 at the 75th percentile. The recent list includes smaller awards in the $1,000 to $3,000 range and larger project grants well above that level.
The grant record is strongly California-centered: 71% of grants go to recipients in California, and California is the top state by grant count. Even so, the foundation also supports organizations tied to Madagascar, Tanzania, South Africa, Asia, and Malawi through international mission and humanitarian work.
Yes. The grant list includes benevolence-style support to an individual, including a 2025 award to Mayleah Wood for missions-related assistance and a 2024 sponsorship tied to baby necessities. Those entries show that the foundation’s giving is not limited to institutions.
