The Linlundh Foundation concentrates almost exclusively on supporting Swedenborgian/New Church institutions in the Bryn Athyn/Huntingdon Valley area, funding both the denomination and its associated private school. Grants are large, repeat awards directed to a small set of faith‑based organizations for educational and community purposes, indicating an institutional support strategy tied to a specific religious community and place.
Highly concentrated: a small number of very large, repeat grants to three closely related organizations (institutional support rather than diversified or small grants); geographically focused on the Bryn Athyn/Huntingdon Valley religious community.
Linlundh Foundation C/o Bakertilly LLP directs most of its recent giving to Swedenborgian and New Church institutions in Bryn Athyn, with very large repeat awards to the Academy of the New Church & School, Bryn Athyn Church, and the General Church of the New Jerusalem. The pattern is institutional rather than individual: the foundation funds a small circle of faith-based organizations for educational and community purposes, and those grantees reappear year after year in substantial amounts. That concentration makes the foundation’s priorities easy to read from the grant record. It supports the school that serves the community’s students, the church and denominational bodies that anchor New Church life, and a few related religious organizations tied to the same tradition. The 2025 grant list shows the academy at $897,600, Bryn Athyn Church at $572,500, and the General Church of the New Jerusalem at $570,000, all in Bryn Athyn, PA. Those awards sit alongside smaller recurring gifts to New Church Assistance Mission, Swedenborg Scientific Association, Swedenborg Foundation, Theta Alpha International, and Swedenborg Society.
Education is a core theme. The Academy of the New Church & School received $897,600 in 2025, after $849,000 in 2024 and $786,000 in 2023, all for educational and community purposes. The same pattern appears in church support: Bryn Athyn Church was granted $572,500 in 2025, following $728,000 in 2024 and $710,000 in 2023. Denominational infrastructure also receives sustained support. The General Church of the New Jerusalem received $570,000 in 2025, after $563,000 in 2024 and $569,000 in 2023, again for educational and community purposes. Beyond the core Swedenborgian network, the foundation also made smaller grants to Philabundance, PA Wounded Warriors Project, and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International.
Typical grants range from a $4,250 first quartile to a $40,000 median and a $564,500 third quartile, showing a mix of small sustaining gifts and much larger institutional awards. The recent record is repetitive: several recipients appear in multiple years, often at similar scale, which suggests ongoing support rather than one-time project funding. The foundation is not structured around individual giving or program-related investments. The grant descriptions repeatedly use broad language such as educational and community purposes, which fits general operating or flexible-use support.
