The Matthew 2540 Foundation concentrates its giving on faith-based work, primarily supporting a local evangelical congregation and an international Christian medical charity. Nearly all grant dollars are split between repeated grants to Fellowship Bible Church in Marietta and to CURE International, indicating a mix of local church ministry and global medical/child sponsorship tied to religious mission. The foundation appears motivated by Christian ministry and charitable medical outreach rather than broad secular causes.
Highly concentrated: a small number of large grants funneled to two repeat grantees (three grants each), split between local religious ministry and an international faith-based medical charity.
The Matthew 2540 Foundation’s largest recent grants go to two recurring ministries: Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell and CURE International in Grand Rapids. Those awards, repeated across multiple years, show a pattern of large church support alongside Christian medical and charitable work. The foundation also gives smaller grants to other faith-based organizations, including Cru, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, and Vision Atlanta dba Camp Grace, which broadens the picture beyond its two largest recipients while keeping the emphasis on religious ministry. Its giving is substantial relative to its reported asset base, with annual grants of $586,343 and a 2025 filing on record. The recent grant list shows a mix of very large awards and much smaller checks, suggesting a portfolio that includes both core support for a few ongoing partners and narrower program support for additional ministries. Grantees are all in the United States, and many are churches, evangelical organizations, or Christian service nonprofits. The foundation’s pattern points to sustained support for faith-based institutions rather than a broad secular grant portfolio.
Faith-based ministry is the clearest theme in the Matthew 2540 Foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $15,024 in 2024, $13,572 in 2025, and $13,542 in 2023 to Cru in Orlando, all tagged religious and charitable. The foundation also supports campus-oriented Christian work. InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in Madison received $1,200 in 2024, $1,200 in 2025, and $1,200 in 2023, indicating a repeated relationship over three years. Another recurring area is church and local ministry programming in Georgia. Vision Atlanta received $4,320 in 2024, and Vision Atlanta dba Camp Grace received $4,168 in 2025. East Cobb Presbyterian Church in Marietta also appears in the recent grants list with a $2,000 award in 2024. The foundation additionally funds religious charities with outreach roles, including Convoy of Hope in Springfield, which received $1,030 in 2025.
The typical grant size is relatively small compared with the foundation’s largest awards: p25 is $1,000, the median is $2,400, and p75 is $13,542. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, especially for church and ministry partners, which suggests ongoing support rather than one-time gifts. It appears to function as a private foundation rather than a donor-advised fund, and it does not make program-related investments or grants to individuals. No open application process is described in the data.
