About Matthew 6 Foundation
The Matthew 6 Foundation concentrates its giving on a small set of repeat recipients, with a clear tilt toward faith-aligned organizations (church-related schooling and gospel ministry) and a willingness to make sizeable, unrestricted awards.

About Matthew 6 Foundation
Matthew 6 Foundation’s recent giving shows a strong pattern of repeat support for faith-based education and ministry, alongside direct hardship aid to individuals. In 2025, the foundation gave $250,000 to First Baptist Academy in Naples for unrestricted general charitable purposes, one of several sizable awards tied to Christian schooling. Another recurring recipient, Life Song (Where Needed Most) in North Port, received a $260,000 general-purpose grant in 2023 and an $80,000 unrestricted award in 2025, showing that the foundation sustains some grantees over multiple years. The foundation also funds gospel-centered organizations and community-serving nonprofits with flexible support. Gospel Patrons Co Crm in Corona, California received $60,000 in 2025 after a $25,000 award in 2024, while Global Leadership International in Rock Hill, South Carolina was supported in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Alongside organizational grants, Matthew 6 Foundation makes hardship grants to individuals, including awards to Matthew Oshel, Scott Hamilton, and others.
